Is that below or above 20k?

This is a really odd thread to be asking for help with your homework.

Oh yeah, Perot did well those two elections. In 1996, he didn't run much of a campaign, and he still netted just as many electoral votes as he did in 1992, and we're talking a serious number because he in fact won a percentage of the total electoral votes that it'd take to win the election.

(It's true because zero is technically a percent!)

In high school, we held a mock election, and Perot won easily. It is one of the two reasons why I'm against the lowering of the minimum voting age to 16. The other reason, strangely enough, is also from the 1992 election: Bill Clinton became the first presidential candidate to make what seemed like a genuine effort to win the youth vote by taking his case to the... well, to the youth, I guess. He did a town hall style meeting on MTV, and then a teenage girl, or maybe a couple of them, said the three words that proved that you can't let kids vote. Here they are, a historic opportunity, on TV for the world to see.

The girl's mouth opened.

"Boxers or Briefs?"

So 16 year olds who have jobs and pay taxes shouldnt have representation?

Its not fair to say that both american parties would be considered extreme right wing in Europe. I think is however fair to say that the democrats would be considered a centre-right party, and the republicans are to the right of them. And its worth mentioning too that most european countries have a wide spectrum of parties, while in the US there are two. In the UK we have niche right wing parties who are much further right (UKIP, BNP for example) we also have a number of more lefty choices, while in the US the choice seems be basically "Hard right" or ""Less hard right".

As far as I recall isn't relationships between North Korea and China deteriorating? China as far as I understand is distancing itself as Korea continues crazy missile testing bullshit. Of course they wouldn't be completely complacent with the US bombing the poo poo out of them but I don't believe they're super pals.

I really hope hipsters stay far away from the boonies, man. I like my quiet little towns and poo poo and it doesn't need all the pretentious poo poo cities bring. It'd break my heart if the little town I'm from got completely overrun by those kinds of jackasses

Look, if they do start moving to your town at least you'll be able to say you liked it before it was cool.

At this point, interviews with Trump are useless unless you are armed with an extensive video library showing that he said the thing he said. He just flats out denies the stuff he said. He's either lying or believes his internal narrative so hard it overrides his memory. Either should be disqualifying for the job.

I would like to see, just once, a reporter confront him with video saying a thing that he is denying that he said. The word salad that would ensue would be amazing.

I doubt it would/will be as entertaining as you think it will be. Confronted with something like that, he'd just end the interview and walk out/have the reporter removed. He'd then tweet about the lying medias disgusting habit of asking him fake news questions and the need to be tough on them and his supporters will eat it the gently caress up. Then Sean Spicer will be tasked with explaining why whatever he said wasnt in fact what he said (think "wiretaps doesnt actuall mean wiretaps").

On the bright side, if every school shooting now leads to a tiny tiny tightening of US gun laws, you'll have the strictest gun control on the planet by like October.

Well the "urban patois" part was a Rick & Morty reference, but despite that it's not remotely racist to refer to a given speech pattern as "urban." I mean you drew the "racist" implication yourself, and it's not racist even then because I made no reference to ethnicity nor any allegation of superiority or inferiority thereof. Hell, I affectionately use those pronunciations myself, except for "boof" which like I said wasn't a thing here (outside of preppie rapists, apparently.)

Welp, he likes rick and morty and used the word "thereof" in a sentence, I guess he's off the hook for sounding kinda racist. Thems the rules.

Dude described socialism as a "Radical ideology", which as someone not from the US is frankly funny as gently caress. Unless he means socialists doing kickflips in which case I am on board.
