justli: Ha. You get bonus points from another post filled with RIGHT wing propaganda. Kudos for being a slave to RIght Wing propaganda. When I'm in Nigeria doing business, the one thing that I hate the most is people who are wholly unqualified to give me their opinion on an issue , argue and state their opinion like it is the WORD of GOD. 1.) Hilary was historically unpopular. Not my opinion but a FACT. It was unfair, as I thought she was a smart technocrat demonized by the Right. But it is what it is. FYI, I'm biased as well as I knocked on doors for her. Trump and Clinton Finish With Historically Poor Images https://news.gallup.com/poll/197231/trump-clinton-finish-historically-poor-images.aspx 2.) Illegal Immigrants don't vote in Federal Elections. Yes, our constitution allows for election by electrical college. Whereas each state votes for electors(apportioned by the Federal Govt, by state size with a minimum amount) who then vote for the President. Each state then decides how to allocate those electors, some do winner take all and some apportion the electors by proportion of win. It was a compromise by the founders to make sure all states are represented (all states get 2 senators regardless of size, CA has 40 million gets 2 and Wyoming has 500k gets 2). The electoral college is proportioned in a similar way. The problem is that this can lead to tyranny of the minority. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/25/opinion/trump-electoral-college-minority.html So, Trump barely won the Electoral college but rules the country like he has the support of the MAJORITY of American citizens. 3.) The "Walk Away" movement.. lol. More propaganda. Riddle me this. Name one high profile Democrat who supported Hillary who is supporting Trump. All the Democrat Presidents were at their convention, Can Trump say that about Republican Presidents (there's only 2 left so that should be easy no?) Again, I'll post this article. Written by a top Republican Strategist. Read it. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/08/19/interview-stuart-stevens-republican-case-against-trump-397918 Here is a list of prominent Republicans who support BIden, an even longer list won't be voting Trump. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/18/politics/republicans-supporting-biden/index.html 4.) There's so much BS, half truths and false information, but NY is not going anywhere. It's like saying because some Billionaires are leaving Lagos, Lagos is in trouble. Honestly, diversify your reading material. Ask more questions, figure out the bias in who wrote what your reading or listening to. There's always a bias. Use your brain, don't just put it on cruise control and let someone else direct what you think. Hare some good reading sources: Nytimes- Has a paywall Washpost - Has a paywal Politico - figure out who writes the article just to understand the bias Axios - Same above |

IjeBos: Out of a total of 270 required to win, Trump polled 306( 56%) while Hillary polled 232 (43%) I don't know what counts for a comfortable win if this isn't. In electoral matters, this is a landslide especially for a candidate like Trump that the establishment rubished and gave no chance both from the left and right...it was the ordinary Americans that decided the fate of that election, not media, not the big name politicians and certainly not the big screen actors. Talking about Hillary being unpopular, I just don't get you, and I think you have your feedback severely lopsided contrary to what you might think. Trump was the unpopular candidate going into that election. Hillary was a career politician, contested against Obama, had her husband's big backing, loved and revered by Hollywood, the media, FBI and all... Because CNN said she is unpopular doesn't mean you shouldnt think for yourself. A lot of Democrats sympathizers certainly haven't got the hang on how the electoral college works, no wonder you see them calling for the abolishing of the system. Trump winning the electoral college means he was accepted by diverse number of americans... Hillary can keep her big vote in California, newyork and Illinois... And yes, most Dems states are in trouble. They have refused to open up their state for political reasons now it's backfiring. In 2019, Amazon was going to build its headquarters in New York, but AOC turned them off. Add that to the state's plans of heavily taxing the rich, then you'll understand why business are flying to neighbouring republican states. |

justli: Honestly, It sounds like you get a lot of information fed to you instead of distilling it yourself. Example, I gave you a link with the polling of the favorability of both candidates. The title is literally "Trump and Clinton Finish With Historically Poor Images" and ur still arguing that Hilary wasn't unpopular. Did you not have enough credit to click the link, or did you click it and you just filtered it out because it didn't fit your narrative. Who cares what CNN said, I showed you actual statistics. Literally, the actual stats say something different and you're still arguing. You've decided to read and believe the things that reinforce the narrative that you have. What does that get you? It just makes you sound stupid. You have 0 understanding of the US, our two parties and neither a historical context or a societal one(you actually believe the FBI supported Hilary... you don't even know how stupid that sounds, because you don't know enough to understand it) to reference the crap you are talking. And I hate the appeal to authority argument, but who do you think should have a better understanding, the guy who was mostly raised and schooled in the US, studied Government, Economics, and Engineering. Or the guy who has never been to the US who and has an app that tells him what "real Americans" think? Good Lord. I pray for you. |

IjeBos:ok You are sounding so stvpid and obviously brainwashed. What makes you think because you lived in a creek somewhere in inner city US you think you know better than someone else. I gave a me a bunch of silly links, you must have thought all I do everyday is google politicial links...unlike you that went door to door campaigning for Hillary, some of us have something meaningful to do . Go through your link, pull out the stats and drop them here. Don't refer me to silly liberal links.... If you are not brainwashed, explain to me how someone would poll 306 of the electoral votes and you call that poor, and you say you're intelligent? Or how on Earth does a sensible human being call Hillary's 2016 outing unpopular...because CNN said so... We are not all stvpid. One clown manages to travel to us, suddenly he thinks everyone in Nigeria lacks basic cognition |

justli: One of us on evenings and PAID vacation time from their JOB went to do something that was important to them, help Hilary's campaign. The other sits online and talks ish about ish he/she has no clue. Who do you think is more reasonable? Seriously you should try it, It may make you, you know, more INFORMED. You know ur kind of proving my point about thinking for yourself. All you had to do was read the title of the article, then open it up and read it yourself. But I guess that's a lot of work, it's easier to watch a youtube/tik tok video to and have someone tell you what to think. Btw, your words betray you. Are you seriously arguing Gallup is some liberal organization? Have you ever heard of Gallup? In fact Gallup is known to have a slight Republican bias. You can google it. I used that poll because of that bias. But should have used Rasmussen (you probably don't even know what that is). And liberal links? You know Harvard is a Liberal institution, so you should avoid any information from anyone who went there as well. Actually it seems like you already do. Manages to travel to Nigeria? Ha. Was born in Nigeria and am in Nigeria maybe 4 times a year (outside this year - Covid). I don't think everyone in Nigeria lacks basic cognition (have a lot of Brilliant Nigerian friends). Just think some lack basic cognition because they are too comfortable not knowing what they don't know; like you. |
