Would you support nice guy politics?

[Twalli]

Nice guy politics is where you attack issues. You attack plans. You attack actions. Your opponent is not a bad person. Your opponent is not wrong. Your opponent is not evil. You fight over the best way to fix problems. You don't fight each other.

[NathanDavis]

no... you said they will spend their time FIGHTING problems, instead of working on the root of the issues

don't really care if you're nice or rude... if you're not solving issues then you are useless to the people

and that's most politicians, some are nice, some are rude... some are in the middle... but they have never EVER worked together for the people

the political system in the USA is in place to control... not to serve

[SnowedIn]

Yes. Please. Immediately.

[Twalli]

Before Newt Gingrich it was better. Before Nixon and Reagan it was only about issues

[SnowedIn]

Kennedy and Nixon.
Truman and Eisenhower.
It was about issues and character, not about the person, you're right.

[Twalli]

When JFK ran it was. Nixon tapped into the southern democrats' racism to get elected. That was the beginning of the end. They were "purged" from the democrats, it would have been better if, after gaining power, the republicans tried to "purge" them from their party too. Now they're elected officials.

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for MHO!

[Revvl6pro]

Yes, because if it was about issues, Biden wouldn't have gotten 5 votes. He only won because he wasn't Trump.

[Twalli]

If it were about issues Trump wouldn't have been elected in the first place. It would have been a race between Jeb and Hillary in 2016.

[Revvl6pro]

I'm glad you agree with me about Biden.

[Twalli]

Well, I don't know if he would have run in the first place. I don't think he's politically savvy enough to dominate on issues. Trump isn't either, but at least Biden can insult back without being seen as an emotional girl, unlike Hillary.

[Revvl6pro]

Everything Biden has done is for the benefit of China. But the media controlled by the shadow government tells you that this is good, and dumb people believe it. Fentanyl killing young people is awesome if the media tells you it is.

[Dargil]

It wouldn't matter if I did or not. The mass media, academy and entertainment will eviscerate anyone they don't like.

[Twalli]

If I thought I had a chance and could, I would run with a running mate who was not of the same political party as me. In a perfect world, it would be me versus him, with the loser being VP.

[kespethdude]

A s long as you are actually a nice guy and not an "nice guy".

[Twalli]

You act that way to everyone and you'll eventually be like that. I tried that with compliments. I now compliment people without meaning to. However I started by trying to compliment 3 people every day.

[joeldalton]

But when your political opponent supports legislation that has an end goal of destroying freedom and instituting socialism and communism, how do you play “nice” with that?

[Twalli]

You don't insult him, you raise reasons why the legislation is flawed. Look at it this way. I don't dislike Mike Pence. I think if he becomes president he will do what he thinks is best for the U. S. I won't agree with him as I don't think his polices are good, but I don't hate him because of his policies. You don't have to play nice with the legislation, it's possible that that person thinks that such legislation is good, or (as Trump claims) he doesn't know what it actually does.

[joeldalton]

But this isn’t legislation. This is purposeful destruction. Biden is purposely destroying this country. People who advocated for covid lockdowns were actively trying to destroy society. I don’t play nice with people who want to destroy me.

[Twalli]

So you want me to hate you? Destroy, or make your life different? A lockdown can't kill you, a disease can. In my case, COVID-19 will kill me, but the vaccine won't. Actually, the vaccine hasn't done anything for/to me, but it might one day.

[joeldalton]

Really? So the people who died as a result of massive increase in suicides due to lockdowns don’t matter?

[Twalli]

the lockdown didn't kill them, they killed themselves.

[joeldalton]

Because of the despair caused by the lockdowns. Nice to know you’re completely callus to other people’s suffering. So much for being a “nice guy’. You’ve shown your true colors.

[Twalli]

I'm not callous, but the fact is that many more people did not commit suicide due to the lockdown. Many more people were mentally strong enough to live through the lockdown. For people who value personal strength, isn't it good that the weak were removed from the gene pool? A sparrow cannot beget a hawk.

[joeldalton]

Ok, perfect. Then you take your chances with Covid and quit expecting the rest of you to cater to your weak ass.

[Twalli]

And those that have such a fragile mental state that they can't deal with a lockdown shouldn't be alive either. After all, they're not the ones we want to reproduce.

[joeldalton]

Ok, you’ve made a great point. So from now on, no one is expected to protect your defective ass from Covid.

[Twalli]

And if the government institutes a lockdown and your mental competence is so defective you want to commit suicide, that's all on you.

[joeldalton]

@Twalli you’re scared of a cold. Remember that.

[Twalli]

In a way, but unlike you I don't have a fully competent immune system.

[joeldalton]

Tough shit. You’re weak and need to be taken out of the gene pool. Puss.

[AngryCarl]

I support whatever gets my party of choice elected. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Many voters don't actually care about policies.

[Twalli]

More might care if politicians didn't try to run smear campaigns. It's getting to the point where a politician is like "I may be bad, but he's worse."

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. Sounds stupid. The reality is there are bad people, evil people with evil intent and you must fight such people as seems fit lest they get political power and destroy the country.

[CALIGVLA]

No, I attack people. Without them, their ideas, plans and actions are gone.

[exitseven]

A few years ago I would. now I would take no prisoners.

[DizzyDesii]

I mean Thats all i ever wanted
