Grumps, you don't get it. Badg is angry with me over Krazen, so he does not want the same color avatar as I have. Thus when I changed mine from blue to red, he felt constrained to change his from red to blue. I hope that helps.

Maybe you should do something about kraken then.

Hmmmmm. I don't remember that.  I thought he was always blue.  But I'm glad Krazen isn't banned so I'm cool with it.  Smiley

If Badger is a registered Republican in the state of Ohio, then why the hell shouldn't he have a R-OH avatar?  I find his constant trash talking of, well, pretty much literally all things Republican to be quite annoying lately (he at least used to be clearly a Republican who simply had more liberal views than the average Republican, now he's gone way further left), but he's still a Republican, and it would probably have a positive effect on politics in general if we had people like Badger SOLIDLY aligned with the GOP and people like Santender SOLIDLY aligned with the Democratic Party and not waffling ... ideological diversity within parties leads to a less nasty polarization.

No, as I think it's a legit question, LOL.

Also, Santander, why do you always insinuate I'm insecure, exactly?

Yes, not because it's more accurate or whatever, but because leaving that party would be a good thing for anyone to do.

     Badger was originally an Option 3 person. That ended fairly quickly when he was accused of being a sock of Ogis, a then notorious sockmaster who always used accounts with no avatar. I don't know of course if that was the reason why he adopted an avatar, but this topic made me recall that episode.

Weren't Badger and Mr. Moderate brought on as a Dem, GOP pair to moderate the US General Election board, and then years later Badger went Republican while Mr. Moderate went Dem?

Anyway, here's the old red-avatared Badger from 2012:

Yes, you shouldn't identify with a party that you share absolutely zero beliefs with.

     I was referring to the third option in the poll as such because of the terms Grumps used in his OP. I've never heard of that slang, but I will try to make use of it now.

Name some then, I mean this is a guy who opposes right to work laws, supports a 15 dollar minimum wage and criticises austerity politics, so you can't argue the whole fiscally conservative and socially liberal shtick.

Good thing this doesn't describe Badger!

Name some then, I mean this is a guy who opposes right to work low wages laws, supports a remotely livable 15 dollar minimum wage and criticises austerity politics "let them eat cake" dystopian Randism, so you can't argue the whole fiscally conservative and socially liberal greedy hack who only votes Republican b/c all s/he cares about is reducing their personal tax rate shtick.

he also opposes deregulation corporate welfare, tax cuts wasteful deficit spending, and believes that its fascist for corporations to stop employees from protesting on company time supports the basic freedom of speech protections we are entitled to under the first amendment.

Deregulation and cutting taxes for businesses = More Jobs

And its also the company right to fire you for your actions during Work Hours

15 dollar min wage= Higher Prices and Less Jobs

Opposing Right To Work= Only benefits union leaders

Opposing cutting spending = More deficits




You cant be an economic liberal and be a Republican.

Deregulation and cutting taxes for small businesses = More Jobs

And its also the company right to fire you for your actions during Work Hours


15 dollar min wage= Higher Prices and Less Jobs

Opposing Right To Work= Only benefits union leaders

Opposing cutting spending = More deficits







Deregulation and cutting taxes for small businesses = Wasteful deficit spending

And its also not the company right to fire you for taking a knee during the national anthem at a football game to protest police brutality and show support for freedom of speech


15 dollar min wage= Better quality of life and greater demand for goods and services

Opposing Right To Work= Benefits workers

Opposing cutting spending = More tax cuts for the wealthy

See, I can ignore what you're saying and mindlessly post buzzword-esque slogans using poor grammar too Smiley

Edit: Not sure how I missed this gem:

You cant be an economic liberal and be a Republican.



Ronald Reagan wasn't a Republican?  Huh.  The more you know Tongue

Let's agree on this: By your definition, Ronald Reagan was not a Republican since – as you so helpfully pointed out – you can't support economic liberalism while being a Republican.
