    Trump trying to figure out democracy:


    Guys like HHusky and Gatorz have at least earned the right to gloat because they have been here the whole time. You showing up after its over is pitiful.

    I'm all in favor of ending Farm subsidies. Think Biden will do it? Fuck no. Btw, most farmers receive no subsides. Only a handful of crops get subsides.

    We’re so fucking stupid in this country that farmers are paid to use farmland to grow crops that are turned into a useless additive to gasoline to fight “global warming” instead of using it to grow more food.

    We already grow more food than can ever be consumed in our country before spoiling.

    Here’s the thing ...

    If this country wasn’t so divided you wouldn’t have situations with so many states just flat split right down the middle

    Both sides would be well served steeping themselves in reality and coming up with a platform that appeals to more than 50.01%

    I think I agree, though more states being evenly split would be an indication of both parties offering something for everyone. As it stands, only the handful of swing states actually fit that bill. More counties, rural and urban, being split would be an even bigger indicator.

    But that's just not in the cards. Generally speaking, urban liberals don't have the faintest clue about what life for a working rural voter looks like. And vice versa. It used to be a little better when we all tuned into the same 6 pm broadcast on one of only three channels and read the same Sunday paper as everyone else. At least then we generally agreed on the same baseline of facts.

    Now everyone is siloed off into their corners of the internet with social media algorithms further force feeding us exactly what we want to read in order to reinforce whichever worldview we have. And the parties will only continue to react and conform accordingly.
    The big difference is that urban liberals want to force rural conservatives to live with their values while rural conservatives just want to be left alone and are more than happy to let urban liberals do whatever it is they want to do as long as they are forced to pay for it.

    If SF wants to let bums shit on the streets and shoot up drugs on their sidewalks and allow crime to go unpunished have at it, but SF liberals want to force their policies onto rural conservatives.
    This 10000%
