Is karma.

The wild thing is that at this point it’s hard to argue that special interest lobbies are holding him back. He’s got virtually nothing to lose and yet he does nothing aside from making the self-interested play.

If U.S. prisons existed to help people then we wouldn’t have the death penalty/capital punishment.

It’s almost like they don’t want to address any real political issues.

Congrats! This is long overdue.

Democrats who didn’t care either way and the Whig party just up and died in 1850 and that’s the only way a 3rd party becomes viable in FPTP.

Your talking point scores your underlying view on the discussion. When it was presented it became open as an allowed point of discussion. As a result, refuting it does not, a straw man make. -It would make for a straw man if you had not presented the previously quoted argument in the first place and you had still gotten the same response of “people know how reality works”, but that’s not what happened.

I’m not Canadian, and the only source of information about Canada’s military spending my statement is based off of is the one you provided.

That’s not a straw man. You left your response open-ended for someone else to draw conclusions and inferences from. In no way was that response out of context or a mischaracterization of the initial idea you layed out. stop trying to straw man the concept of a straw man.

Canada’s expenditure as a % of gdp according to your own source is pretty weak already. Insisting on having no military spending is hardly a real argument. Also, Canada has a very real stake in ensuring russia doesn’t succeed given those coveted waters you guys have along the northern territories.

If an inanimate piece of timber could have won, then clearly the candidate that actually ran did something wrong.

No, you should talk to a therapist about exactly this. Why are you feeling annoyed? Why are you disgusted with yourself? Why does laughing elicit feelings of disgust and annoyance? --That association seems indicative of poor mental health.

You may beat the charge, but you wont beat the ride.

…but if simple posession defines who a bad actor is…

The irony of this never ceases to amaze me.

Those basterds!

Not likely. Trump doesn’t even know what those words mean. Temporarily jailing them and protesters is likely a different story, though.
