I never understand why people keep arguing with hopelessly dull and biased opponents.

Also, I think Trump going back on his word about destroying the Johnson Amendment was something positive. Thoughts?

Sorry Grindy :( If I report them will you delete their posts? Cause that'd be awesome. We might have discussions that got somewhere with the likes of DJ, Duga, Riseagainst, etc..

55 views in the serious thread I made and the only response was Jansz fixing a typo in my title. They'd all rather flock here to defend their egos.

He doesn't gets points from me for promising something during his run that he didn't end up doing, because he never stood a chance of persoanlly doing it in the first place.

I wont delete posts that don't break any rules, even if I'd personally want to.
Pretty sure though, some nice ignoring is a great tool against unwanted people.

If you come from a rich or political family with a long history of involvement in politics, you are banned from running for any public office.

So who steps up? Well, I hope it's someone who actually wants to provide leadership and help to his/her nation/constituency. Not just hold office to get rich or seize power.

What if no one steps up? Well, then we have a random drawing. Sorry, Farmer John! Looks like you and Plumber Ralph are running for president. Get your campaigns up and running!

But if I made the thread and asked for specific members not to be involved? I know YorkeDaddy made a thread about a video game and asked that if anyone went off topic or decided to start trashing the game that the posts be deleted, and it was agreed upon by mods.

I'd really enjoy a drama free heavily moderated political thread.
