[QUOTE=Durandal;50067414]He's a moderate democrat who likes Hillary and the current way things are done, he doesn't really have to do those things for Hillary since she's the front runner. Not saying that is at all a bad thing though, the one good thing about Hillary is that she's more of the same which means stability at the very least, even though she is otherwise undesirable (to me anyway).[/QUOTE]
Well I know he's a well off beltway kid from everything said previously
I'm just wondering how hypocritically he holds his views
His previous stated views about hilary seem very selfish and very single minded so maybe he's totally pleased with the status quo, maybe he's not, in either case I just find it funny when people who have no intention of activism criticize anyone else as if they're truly capable of seeing what those people do in private. Perhaps those people are writing their congressmen. Perhaps it's not that easy to create change in the american democratic system.
I didn't know how much time congressmen and senators spent fundraising, but now that I know how much time they do, I know they would ignore a million emails from their constituents who aren't rich.

How can you be so sure?

So "No".
[QUOTE=cody8295;50067227]Ive already toxxed that hillary wont be pres because at this point its pretty obvious. Shes got an fbi investigation looming over her head and a huge untrustworthy rating. How in the world could clinton win?[/QUOTE]
what about trump
i mean you're a bit mad by claiming both trump and clinton won't win the nomination

thats such a vague answer that youve really only hurt your own point by using it. youre clearly dancing around saying "no", because you know that it will hurt your point by being honest.

No, I just don't want what I do in real life to be tied to what I do on a forum.

He might get fucked in a contested convention. Although Cruz has been shilling pretty hard against doing anything that will fuck Trump (or himself) out of the nomination, such as changing the rules up or voting against the two front runners, perhaps he knows he'll get fucked as well if its a contested convention since most of the "establishment" loathes him, just only slightly less than Trump.
Hillary may get hurt by the investigation, but it doesn't seem likely she'll get fucked out of the nomination or lose to Sanders unless she actually gets indicted or something else big involving the emails happens.

How are charity groups political activism unless they're specifically politically active charities
and aren't you a huge fan of the status quo so why would you even be after change?

The charity advocates for foreign policy causes as well as humanitarian issues. Our president recently testified at the house foreign relations committee

So you are a fan of the status quo in regards to the issues this thread was originally about

Your vagueness isn't helping your argument at all.

The charity is not about Americans projecting power worldwide. It's a humanitarian charity which advocates for humanitarian foreign policies. Anyways, point is, just trust that I'm involved in some way with actively advocating for my political beliefs.
But yes, I am in favor of the status quo in general. That doesn't mean that I don't think we shouldn't have some changes (higher minimum wage, less costly education, legalized marijuana), but that I think that the political and economic order at large ought to stay in the position it's in.

Trump is a strange candidate who I wouldn't toxx on, but everybody who's paying attention knows he's not gonna get the number of delegates required. And we all know the establishment doesn't want him, so
