Prevent from running or winning?

Yeah. We have to get involved. I’m also trying to talk my step-dad, who is retired, very smart, and very pissed off about the state of the country, to run for board of education in his small Alabama county. No luck, so far.

My college roommate (RIP Brent), a Poli Sci major at UGA, moved to Wisconsin for work many years ago and got very active in his local community. He was convinced by a bunch of his friends to run for the local school board, an ostensibly non-partisan election.

After the election (which he lost), he told me he understood why we as a nation had the politicians we had. He had never experienced the level of vitriol and anger he saw in that campaign. Swore he'd never run for office again.

The 24/7 news cycle and invention of the Internet are why zero decent citizens will ever run for office. Who wants to endure that anal probe?

My final ban was when i told some dude who was punching and kicking his dog on streams, that i would crush his skull in, and them try to frick it.

They asked me if i wanted to basically beg for my profile to not get banned and i told them to f themselves and that next time i see @Jack in st.louis i'm going to knock the ghey out of him.

Sadly, that was not a good enough appeal to free myself of the banning.


I like your style.

Thought about it and realized I would punch some cuck in the face for being a leftist fool that won't listen to reason or fact.

Ain't nobody got time for 'dat.

And that is how we got to we where are in America. We went to work and let the fools take over.

Wouldn’t put my family through that ordeal.

The scrutiny for even the smallest office can be relentless. It’s why you don’t get good people running, only the dregs.

I would love to, but I don’t have the money to campaign and I would have to give up my job due to conflict of interest.
