I got rid of tec's posts, at least temporarily. I don't agree with many of the posts of this thread, but at least most people try to advance a discussion. Putting up nonsense that California won't go blue, or that it is somehow in doubt, is contrary to even the most basic political knowledge.

That's why I suggested giving him odds. 2 to 1 should do, if it's as up in the air as he seems to think. 

He's not even saying it's a toss up. He's saying that we can't even form an opinion about how likely it is to go blue because we don't have all of the information.

It's miket level stupidity. Next, tec will argue that the Feds can reduce the deficit by selling more treasury bonds.

Don't do that. His stupidity needs to be preserved for future arguments. I can't wait for the next time tec gives an opinion on the likelihood of a future event.

Maybe tec will be willing to bet on the results in California if you give him odds.

He isn't arguing that CA will go red. Or blue.

He's upset that I predicted CA would go blue.

I'm not upset about anything.

I was just pointing out that it's foolish to predict the outcome of an election over a year away when you don't know who the candidates will be.

I also took exception to your trying to put words in my mouth about what I "don't disagree" with, and made it clear that I expressed no such opinion.

But I can see how you're unable to understand these things.  Because it's you, and you're a dumbass.

Wow.

"I deleted tec's posts because he said something I don't agree with".

Way to fairly moderate a thread.

Reading comprehension fail, tecwrg. I deleted posts because you lack even the most minimal amount of intelligence of how the American political process works.

Don't redline. That's lame.

Agreed

Help!  I'm being repressed!

Herr Stinenavy, moderating his political thread:

Either redline all dumbassery or none of it.    If all, this thread is 4 pages long now.

Is there a list posted anywhere of stinenavy approved opinions that we're allowed to express?

UP YER MAMA'S PATOOTEY

THAT'S NO PLACE TO STORE SUCH AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT!!!!!!
