    Apparently at a graduating speech of law students she said that the only reason someone should study law is to 'serve the kingdom of god' so good luck with your sinner lifestyles.

    How about not having a shit system instead of bitching about people who don't try and game it.

    Their original federal system (or something a lot closer to it than what it has become) would solve almost all of their problems, but it seems like one of those things that is too obvious to be obvious, as if it wasn't conceived by some of the cleverest people in the then world.

    Yeah, but did they properly represent the demographics of the country? That's what I thought.

    Didn't he claim to pay so little tax because he was 'smart' while at the same time claiming to be a terribly successful businessman? So either his smartness was falsifying a load of stuff to dodge a tax bill or he's losing money hand over fist which rather counts against the second bit.

    Not sure why I'm trying to apply logic to it because having lied about everything ever, one more thing hardly seems to matter.

    Sure you can so long as you're mocking both.

    Priti Patel wanting to send forins to an island in the South Atlantic is a bit "Are we the baddies?" for example.

    That was quite possibly the most embarrassing display of politics in the history of debates. Even the moderator was a complete shitshow.

    I didn't see the debate but I'm going to go on twitter in case any British comedy writers (who were asleep at the time) have an opinion on it.

    Are there any articles anywhere from people who are better than Biden that describe how they'd take Trump on in a debate?

    There must be a strategy that works, but I can't for the life of me think what it is.

    If you put some youthful energy into Joe Biden and got rid of his 18th century anachronisms, you could get somewhere. Unfortunately al the loud assholes self-select into the Republican party and the Dems are left with betas.

    AOC vs Trump would be a good watch actually

    Trump also donned the Republican primary last time around, even with the likes of Ted Cruz around.

    I think to beat him you would need to be able to EXPOSE all of his bullshit, but do so in such a way where you didn't just come across as the sort of patronising, whinging cunt who in an other life would be telling you you wouldn't be eating that if you knew what was in it. This was where 'Hillary' fell down, and where ninety-five per cent of other [supposedly] intelligent left-wing women suffer (see: every woman in the Labour Party). Barack Hussein Obama would have lolled him off the stage with such an approach, as 'Sleepy Joe' himself might have done thirty years ago, but 'AOC' has actual shit for brains and would start bealing at the first bit of trolling.

    You need someone with swagger, basically, like Cory Booker or Bernie.

    AOC would just act offended all the time, which is an insta-loss.

    Why are people talking about it like he won?

    He sounded like a fucking weirdo shouting conspiracies that he read in emails where the subject line begins with RE:RE:RE:FWD:RE:FWD:FWD:FWD and rounded it off by saluting the proud boys.

    Obama would have "lost" this debate, he was always meek because he was up against a couple of morally decent Republicans who were equally traditional (McCain, Romney, and Obama are probably the most good-natured candidates we've had since 2000). AOC would be loud and obnoxious and energetic. Proud Boy virgins like Lewis would call her shit for brains no matter what, but in terms of taking the stage to Trump she'd do a better job of not getting steamrolled than anyone I can think of

    The thickest people in politics are the ones who peddle the 'market corrects itself' manure, so she's already beaten the median.

    Dunning-Kruger doesn't mean that. Hence why I think you're thick. Commonly misunderstood meaning of Dunning Kruger in action.
