So Goof, humor me. How about a list of your top 10 fave GOP policies and your top 10 worst Dem policies?

Can you articulate it so that I can try and make sense of your ideological stance?
Woah woah woah, you're painting with a pretty broad brush there, Sonny Jim.

Keep patting yourself on the back for being in the real world as opposed to actually backing up your points, Chula. I don't really care. Go live in the realest world with the Republicans, you're already there.

Go circle jerk Dr. Phils. I've given my opinion. You disagree. No point in going any further.

For the record, all of you idealists who slathered over Bernie because he was going to finally "change everything once and for all". Did you actually look at the final 2016 election numbers?

Trump - 46.09%
Clinton - 48.18%
Johnson - 3.28%
Stein - 1.07%
Sanders - .08%

For the record, Clinton smashed him by over 12% of the primary vote.

And it was conformists like you who allowed Trump to win. No wonder nobody gave a **** about voting FOR Clinton, as opposed to voting against Trump, cause your ilk insist on giving yourselves no reason to in the first place while you wipe Wall Street Democrat cum off your lips.

That Chula post was pure, unadulterated, uncircumcised cringe. Especially the white supremacist bit.

Almost makes me want to vote for The Rock in a few years. At least the guy claims to be an Independent.

I was actually looking forward to some hot Bat-on-Goof-action and then Chula came and made it all dumb and cringey.
