you do know there's a difference between private donations and corporate donations, right? citizens united concerns the latter. if what you're suggesting were true, republicans would be in favour of repealing it, but they very obviously are not. and as usual, nice dodge on all the other points.

i think even you will have to acknowledge that policy wise, republicans are clearly a minority regarding the vast majority of their positions, so they have to resort to different means to win elections, correct?

The Frat Boy is in bro, lifetime appointment, its over. Keg stands all around!

Funny fact: If you're a woman and you participate in "Greek Life" on campus during college years, you are five times more likely to be sexually assaulted during college!

Completely unrelated things.

anything you have to illustrate this?

like polling on issues like gun control (or lack thereof), restrictions on abortion, lax policies on regulation, low tax rates, immigration, etc.

corporate leniency on regulation and taxes seems to be the least popular category, although people also bake jobs into the cake and many support corporate tax breaks and deregulation for that reason. lax gun control seems close to 50%, immigration reform seems close to 50%, low taxes for all (even if most go to corporations) seems close to 50%, no allowing abortions up through the third trimester and not at a publicly funded location seems fairly popular especially in the south.

i'm not sure how you could describe the party that has 50% more or less of the govt seats, and WELL over 50% in the south, as a minority in policy popularity. unless you're being so hyperbolic that you claim gerrymandering and other dirty politics fill the entire gap, which you should demonstrate as it has zero face validity.

fender aka heinrich blames “a stacked supreme court” for the result of the 2016 election lmfao

he’s also still blaming “republicans” for the electoral college even though the electoral college predates the republican party by nearly 70 years

It's ok to admit that the Democratic party tried to destroy an innocent man's reputation, and only stopped when the accusations got so absurd that the public stopped listening. They really set back rape victims by a decade, but I'm sure God will hold them to account.

Kavanaugh is as much a rapist as Obama was born in Kenya.

i just have to look at the way you chose to frame those issues to realise that you're very well aware of how unpopular republican policy positions really are.



- there is a solid majority against a ban of abortions, and for upholding roe vs wade. ( https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/abortion/447397-77-percent-say-supreme-court-should-uphold-roe-v-wade )

- of course everyone wants their own taxes as low as possible, but the majority of americans oppose the republican way of giving the lion share of tax breaks to corporations and millionaires, blowing a massive hole into the budget, and making empty 'trickle down' promises ( https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/15/donald-trump-tax-cuts-unpopular-1273469 )

- over 90% support universal background checks and other common sense gun regulation ( https://news.gallup.com/poll/1645/guns.aspx )

- an overwhelming majority opposes corporate bribes in elections and wants to do away with citizens united ( https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4455238-campaignfinancereport.html )

- most americans are in favour of more environmental protection ( https://news.gallup.com/poll/1615/environment.aspx )

- a solid majority of americans opposes trump's border wall and favors a path to citizenship for illegals ( https://news.gallup.com/poll/246455/solid-majority-opposes-new-construction-border-wall.aspx )

- most americans think securing elections against foreign meddling is an important issue ( http://maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/NPR_Marist-Poll_National-Nature-of-the-Sample-and-Tables_September-2018_1809111654.pdf#page=3 )

- americans are also largely against partisan gerrymandering ( https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/americans-are-united-against-partisan-gerrymandering )

- a big majority is in favour of dodd-frank and the cfpb ( https://ourfinancialsecurity.org/2018/07/afrcrl-poll-new-survey-reveals-discontent-with-mulvaney-path-at-cfpb/ )

- a majority of americans disagree with trump's trade war policy ( https://news.gallup.com/poll/238013/americans-say-china-tariffs-harmful-helpful.aspx )


i could go on, but that covers many of the main issues i think. now how about you show me some polling that shows support for republican positions?
inb4: 'your sources are unreliable, but i won't provide any alternatives because reasons / those aren't republican positions because they didn't officially admit it / i never claimed both parties' policies were similarly popular...'


oh, and regarding the electoral college, you need to learn how to read and stop strawmanning. no one said "unfair" or that republicans established it, or any of the nonsense that you hacks make up because you can't refute my point - it's just one of the items amongst all those "other" means i listed by which republicans 'win' elections.

yes you did. we all saw it and laughed at your ridiculous notion that 'republicans' were responsible for something established ~70 years prior to the party's founding. prove otherwise, since you haven't been exonerated of saying that the electoral college is the republican's fault or that it's unfair.

all Presidential elections are won through the electoral college lmao wtf kind of statement is that.
just like all World Wars have been won with one of your pathetic ancestors either signing an instrument of surrender or dying alone in a miserable bunker, too scared to face the carnage that they started. cowards just like yourself you adolf-loving anti-semitic rotten sauerkraut-freebasing foreign voyeur :rofl:

see we don't blame you for the actions of your ancestors ~70 years ago, but i do point out that you'd love nothing more than to recreate it in an attempt at a fourth reich. your rants here are the proof. fortunately you're completely incapable of getting the lid off your rotten sauerkraut jar without state assistance, much less stirring up any sort of actual conflict

e: reported, btw
