Aerli is so scared of Tych's gotcha, he won't even answer a simple question he himself posed. Now that's that's we call the long game!

No. See Moe's definition above. I was looking for Aerlithian to enlighten us in his infinite wisdom!

Check this thread out for some fine examples of independents discussing a topic. If Tyche is the capo de independence , you can see some interesting patterns. It's easy to see why they are so confused. They are looking everywhere but to themselves for guidance.


How do you feel about national healthcare? If you are for it vote liberal. if you are against it, vote conservative. There you are done and now you can say you are decided.

Wrong, check the link I provided for the complete context of why I responded to Tych as I did. Tych is here to waste peoples time. He said so himself. Every time he gets a reply that he arbitrarily deems unworthy he then veers off and or says that he can't be bothered. I take him on his word on that based on the fact that I have seen him do just that many times.

So, waste of time.

Independents are idiots for the most part. They're ignorant, easily led, and completely sure of themselves knowing better than everyone else. They're the people that partisan attack ads and robo-calls are designed for, and work on for the most part. People who vote for candidates on who look the part or even who is more handsome. They usually don't start paying any attention to politics until two weeks before an election and generally line up to vote for whatever schmuck had the best marketing strategy (campaign).


In short, independents are big on ego, short on brains.

That's all well and good if you were pen pals with Tych or this was your diary, but for the rest of us reading, we saw you chicken out. What's even funnier is that you picked the fight and then you ran off scared: "i think I hear my mom calling!" If you're going to ignore someone, ignore them, don't half-ass it with some petty crying about how he doesn't take you seriously. You just validated what he's been saying.

That sounds like every partisan I've ever talked to.

Conservitard: "We need to stop illegal immigaration!"

Me: "Why?"

Conservitard: "DEY TUUK URR JERBS!"


Libtard: "We need to stop outsourcing!"

Me: "Why?"

Libtard: "DEY TUUK URR JERBS!"


But if you ask a Libtard why we shouldn't stop illegal immigration you get answers like, "Well, those people need jobs too!"

But if you ask a Conservitard why we shouldn't stop outsourcing you will get answers like, "Well, those people need jobs too!"

Being a partisan is like being punched in the mouth by your mother and then asking her to do it again, over and over and over.

Being a moderate is like being punched in the mouth by your mother and then crying about it.

Being an independent is like being punched in the mouth by your mother and then walking away telling her you will never help her again. Then when she calls you begging for money you can tell her to go F herself, but in the end it doesn't really do anything because she'll just go blow someone rich dude with a bleedy penis to get the money she needs.

Hey if you want to swallow Tych's choad, that is fine. Everyone else who is serious can be bothered to select two words, right click and search. I already provide a lot more source or reference links than most of the people in this forum. I also capitalize terms and phrases to clue people into the fact that it is a readily understood term if they want to select (highlight) and search.

This is the information age, getting information is child's play. If people can't be bothered to follow up or involve themselves then that is on them. When people routinely say that they don't care and they are just here to troll or for the lulz, then at some point I take them at their word. And just to put a point on it, that is why I provided a link to Tych's own words. I have no choice but to take him at face value on his statement that he is here to troll because he has demonstrated and said it himself numerous times before.

And with that, I am done on that topic. Feel free to circle jerk yourselves to whatever point you wish.

I support it. Thats one issue. Now how about some others? I don't support the liberal idea of licenses for illegals. I do support the liberal issue of a woman's right to choose. I don't support conservatives in their endless wars. Lets cut military spending. I don't support liberals in their constant spending. I don't support most unions. I do support some of them. I support the liberal issue of gay marriage. I don't support state rights.

Not so black and white huh?

yup.. I am confused.

In other words you can't or refuse to answer my question. You said we don't know what moderate is. I asked for your definition of it. Yup.. scared shitless is the right phrase I think. You are just a coward and can't back up your mouth is all. Go hide like BT does. Shoo.
