Armani posted:Can you elaborate on the bolded part, please? I can only parse 2 things from this: 1. Recessions can be very profitable for competent investors, particularly if they're predictable (because you can be very confident that the market will improve again in the future, so it's a good time to buy and then sell once the market returns to normal). I guess this is pretty true, though it's hard to say whether Trump would actually be capable of doing something that would cause a recession during his presidency (though we're about due for another recession regardless of who becomes president). 2. I think he is trying to say that the economy is bad because millennials (and I guess other liberals/leftists) focus on "identity politics" instead of economic policy. This is obviously pretty dumb, because a bunch of millennials supported Bernie who talked a bunch about income/wealth inequality and Hillary has adopted some of his platform as a result. I think this idea stems from the fact that some people (like Sethex) believe that people can only care about one thing at once, so if millennials care about stuff like race/LGBT issues then they obviously can't also care about economic issues.

As opposed to? honest question, how old are the 3rd-party voters here? As a venerable of 24 winters, I'm guessing an average 20.

Wait, you actually think Hillary's (or any other candidate's) platform means something? I thought that was just something Hillary supporters said to try and placate/condescend to Bernie supporters.

Kids are collectively dumb, and I'd happily up the voting age to 25, but being a kid doesn't auto-invalidate your opinion somehow. twodot fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Oct 25, 2016 |

Given that historically candidates tend to do most of the stuff they outline in their platforms, I see no rational reason to assume that Hillary's platform is all lies meant to entice more left-leaning Democrats.

Like I don't know what the stats are on "Are ghosts real?", but there is literally no percentage that could convince me ghosts are real. If anything, I'd be more inclined on the ghost thing. I think way more people believe in ghosts than vote third party.

Well for one thing, the strategic case for voting third party, that it will move the major parties in their direction, depends on the Republicans/Democrats running into lolbertarian/anti-wifi tinfoil crystal healer territory to get your precious precious vote. If the number of actual third-party voters are so small that neither major party actually has any reason to adopt Johnson/Stein's stupid positions because they would lose more voters than they gained thereby, then you're better off voting for the major party candidate closer to your views and encouraging others to do the same.
