Our system works similar here in Canada, but pretty much everybody I know votes based which party’s leader they want to be Prime Minister.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

And yet here we all are, enjoying the consequences of your actions.
If you post and ask over in the Customer Support forum, one of the blues there would be happy to explain exactly why you were suspended.

Not at all. We vote for the person who directly represents us at our local level, and its done by a very precise form of vote counting. Whoever is leading the party does tend to influence people’s votes but the party chooses who leads it and the country. Thing is, our Prime Minister does not have the same levels of power that the US President does, things have to be agreed upon through multiple levels of houses.
Its the same basic system as that in the UK, and we’ve both managed to stay democratic and free and pretty successful for a long time now.

All the “peasants” are played against each other so we never get organized enough to affect the entrenched political parties.

who voted for the $132,000,000,000 CARES act?

Again, only one side of peasants is against anyone.
Respect people’s rights, and stop trying to force religion onto people, and there are 0 issues.

This has nothing to do with the topic, I just wanted to point out that it’s passed midnight here which makes it officially spooky season for me.
(I also wanted a reason to post this gif)

This is the much more compelling reason why it’s better to stay quiet about politics - as soon as you open your mouth it tends to reveal how little you’ve bothered to pay attention.
RFK is famously even more militant of a Zionist than the other candidates. When someone mentions that particular aspect as a reason to vote for him it makes it very clear they’re just assuming “this third party person doesn’t have all the problematic opinions of the other parties” without looking into what their positions actually are.

I have not mentioned religion in any of my posts in this thread.
It was my understanding that he was against AIPAC and the Mossad doing shady stuff, given who killed his dad and uncle.
Guess he’s just as bad then.

Absolutely true! I mean, we’re all like 85% compatible, but we choose to boycott certain topics that are just drama filled and problematic. In my other guild, the RP guild, I just stick to RP and avoid any other topics they allow to pop up. I know for a fact they would all go sideways and ban me if they knew I thought and voted differently. So rather than seek out specific people, I just stick to the point of the game and ignore the noise. Doesn’t bother me when people think differently. Bothers me when they constantly shove it in my face. I’m looking at you… vegans… 
Sure, I don’t mind paying taxes to employ police, firefighters, and subsidize schools.
Maybe if we allowed more seasonal migrants to work on our farms, we wouldn’t be wasting 15% of our food to rot before it leaves the field.
I don’t support the US drilling for more oil, we have the economic power to import it – and we are already 100% self-sufficient in both energy/fuel, and food. It’s a military strategy to drain others’ resources while preserving your own. We invest heavily into renewable and alternative fuels and we can exert our military might. This is why China’s navy cant exert itself more than 500miles from China’s shores – they need diesel, we have nuclear reactors on our carriers.
So, if you support more drilling, you’re supporting China.

RFK literally got caught trying to sell his endorsement to the highest bidder. The man has no ethics or morals. He ran for his ego.

To that end, I wonder if it would be better or easier trying to find a right leaning guild or group through Discord or a Google search.
They disliked RFK and shut him out because he supported ideas like putting all Government spending on “block-chain” so anyone can look it up online and see what they are spending our tax money on.
It’s your understanding because you haven’t bothered to put in even a tiny bit of effort or pay attention.
Which is fine, it’s your right to not pay attention to politics and accept the consequences thereof.
You know people give vegans and crossfitters a lot of crap but I gotta say, I see more anti-vegans and anti-crossfitters these days than anything.
It’s not simply that they’re different. If your different opinions are nice, then no problem.
Yep, both sides were afraid of the support he was getting and smeared him good. That being said though, I stopped supporting him when he dropped out and put his support behind Trump. I now feel like there is no one who represents me in government.
