elections in the netherlands today
| Piratpartiet
| I’m voting for everyone in holland! I love you all! I taught my dog to speak canine Dutch through playing Dutch dog language immersion tapes when we play in my yard! (I use a Bluetooth speaker- more like squeaker! (Or barker ;)))
| Frisian National Party
| People are so retarded. But I guess politics are too difficult to grasp for the majority. Party A acts in bad faith and causes the cabinet to fall. Who will we vote for? Party A of course!

It's estimated that 15% or so of the population are very susceptible to cult-like manipulation. More often than not those 15% are enough to gain majority control of government branches. That's why political parties don't speak to you, because you're harder to reach. Maybe you're even unable to be swayed by anything other than truth and sincerety?
Those dumdum 15% are way easier to sway. That's why populist parties(which tend to be right wing) go for those malleable 15%.

| You can’t win an election with just 15% of the vote! You need way more! I’ll just start a telling the truth party and get 85% of the vote hooray!
| >>1076319 ??? Yes it does what?? You stated that 15% of people is what is needed to gain power in a state and so those who are in power or seek to gain it push hard for a susceptible 15%. And so I quoted Plato in that you should take your politics seriously and that more people are doing so now that their homes are become under threat more often. How does that not address your post?
| Erections? Did I read that right?
| Chat! 15% of erections! Chat!!

If you need a new post that's twice as long to "explain" the broken logic behind your first post, then it's a shitty irrelevant post.........

Just because you dont understand something doesn't mean you should walk away :). Just going "ermmm uhhh nuhuh dumbdumb" doesn't mean shit so ill sit here and explain it in detail so you can understand the point I'm trying to make
| >>1076390
Just because you suck at communicating it doesn't mean it's everyone else's fault. Surely you can express yourself in better ways than this tactic. Double Yu tee eff
| >>1076400 ya I will not argue I suck at typing but at the same time sitting there going nuhuh me no likely lalalalalashutup doesn't really help either
| >>1076354
Most politics posts here are trolls. There are several troll threads active now. Stay cute and don’t let her drag you down to her level <3
| >>1076461
i don't think this site has been good for genuine engagements for several years. pwople are either too toxic or downright retarded. the fact that we got targeted by a troll farm likely isn't helping either. pesonally i stopped trying a long time ago.
| >>1076462 high key its that kind of mentality that i think keeps the genuine conversation away. ive been called samefag for fucking months now and what do i do? I keep explaining and posting (granted with slurs) or my usual canned response when its just a post saying "lMaO sAmEfAg" which in all honest i kind of deserve for me calling everyone who pinged userID a newfag
| >>ae9f66
ah, so that's you. i got a follow-up question. are you genuinely retarded? you're obviously one of the most disruptive toxic users on this board who's attitude and personality kills almost every conversation and now you try to shift the blame to others for not taking this site seriously anymore?
| >>1076469
I don’t like use of fag instead of gurl and I don’t want to really fight angry gurl who has a lot of problems and is right about some things she’s been hurt for and I don’t want to be part of that. I think it’s best not to antagonize her and just not discuss politics. I think you are too agressive too sometimes. I think we’re supposed to be cute girls and kiss not be angry and mean. DON’T be genuine- be cute on top and walk on bottom (but lovingly)
