There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

So does that mean that any time Ted Cruz talks about immigration, you have to revoke someone else's beer and give them a frothy mug of water in its place?

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Editorial: Bernie Sanders' ideas are more realistic than Hillary Clinton's
I think we're at the point where now every single candidate could be accused of having unrealistic ideas to at least some degree.
You guys need to like. Grab Sanders and Clinton. And put them in a machine, Fly style and vote for the resulting abomination of flesh, wild gesticulations, jewish and sex scandal husbandry amalgamations with its own private email server embedded near its heart.
Then vote for that.
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothesI would take having my leg cut off over being shot in the face too, but I wouldn't recommend either experience.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I'd definitely take Cruz over Trump-Trump not only has far-right ideas I dislike, he also has a lot of democratic-ideas I dislike.
He's also the only candidate I would flat out call a terrible person.

Leviticus 19:34
I don't think he's ever insulted another candidate for being "ugly". Nor do I think he ever did anything like declare that a reporter was going through PMS. He also never stated that a POW who repeatedly sacrificed for his fellow soldiers wasn't a hero.
On a scale of "You doo-doo head" to "You clotting ocean of rat semen", how important do you deem insults in the political engagement of your country?
Answer below and sign your name with a flourish

The Bernie Sanders drinking game: Every time he mentions a free government program, you drink someone else's beer.
