Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

Oh yeah I'm all about good times.  Now off to bed at 9pm because I'm cool like that

[Aaron]

I'd vote for you. I'd move to Canada just to vote for you.

Pseudo-Trudeau

I <3 this phrase now.

[Naylzie]

Can we just have Pseudo-Trudeau then and let Canada keep the real deal?  I'm sure that without being an American citizen and with no background in politics, Dust would STILL be a better leader than the SCROTUS (So-called ruler of the US, if you haven't seen that one in action.  It's one of my favourites.)

[Goose]

You had Pseudo-Trudeau.  His name was Bernie Sanders.

Elizabeth Warren would be a close second.  She better run next time.

[Naylzie]

 

I voted for him, for all the good it did.  We're hoping Warren'll run next, but we're worried that the Dems will still shut her down because she's too radical, and unlike Bernie, it wouldn't make sense for her to RUN independent.  Some of us, despite his age, are kinda hoping he'll run as an independent in 2020, but I'd  vote for Warren.

[Dust]

My official platform would be an actual platform, that only I get to stand on.  It represents my elevated sense of duty.

Do I still get the job?

[luna]

You've got my vote!

But seriously I am not super impressed with Trudeau and I know a lot of people who voted for him just to get rid of harper are also not impressed so I think we are headed for another conservative government next election.  Hopefully they don't choose a racist asshole as their leader...

Will you also wear an iron gauntlet on one hand and an oven mitt on the other?

I understand that the position has a lot of demands, and sticking to your guns and keeping promises is an endless parade of comprimises that I'm sure he didn't particularly forsee.  Still, he seems to be as much of a douchebag as every other politician in this day and age.  At least with Harper, he was fairly transparent about his motives and policies, and didn't seem to care about being a scumbag.  Meanwhile, Daddy's Boy seemed like he played it up for the popular vote, then turned his back when he got what he wanted.

I pretty much don't care anymore.

Pseudeau

Mulclair seemed alright at first, and I was going to vote for him at some point, but then the NDP started getting a little too friendly with some Conservative policies (of which I can't recall now), and I had the feeling Trudeau was going to win anyway.  Meh.

No no no, I'd wear a iron mitt on one hand and an oven gauntlet on the other.

Yup the whole electoral reform thing pushed me.over the edge with him. I voted liberal because they were the ones most likely to beat the cons in my riding. If he kept his promise I could have finally voted for whichever party actually represents my values and know it would count but now I am just back to voting against who i don't want to win, sigh

[TPD]

Yeah, I really hope he fuckin remembers who voted for him... it's pretty much like what happened in the us election*, what with the rust belt voting for drumpf with hesitation, but expecting him to change things...

I kinda stay away from voting for political dynasties because of the whole monarchy thing (like isn't that what we moved away from?), and with Pseudeau it seemed like people were voting for him JUST** because of his dad.

And that doesn't always work out right (see Bush).
That's also why I didn't think Clinton would win... (see Bill.)

Having said all that, I really hope Caroline Kennedy runs in 2020, because if anyone might be able to sway things it might be another kennedy.



*similar minus quasarland, bullying, and rampant racism
**we also benefited from Harper fuckin up a whole bunch for a decade, and people went in with the anyone but harper vote.

[Dust]

I would probably stinkpalm all of them too.
