Only one reason Marty, money.
Perhaps the artificial flavors are less expensive?
Perhaps either Clinton or Trump owns the company that manufactures said artificial flavors?Well, you got me there, no I didn't think of that.
Didn't think of that did ya?
Not hardly, where do you think the terms "dirt cheap" and "free $#!+" come from.
Well, you got me there, no I didn't think of that.
You are correct Brian, mostly. You're not the only person on this forum to assume that I would be pro union, I am not. I've never been a member of any union nor had I any desire to be so. Some of the folks working at the university (NIU) were members of a union (AFSCME). From my point of view that union never did anything for them, other than to protect the lazy workers that is. Again, that's my point of view only.
I refuse to vote for either corrupt party if their 'candidates' are as bad as the last cycle, and probably everyone on this forum has a similar view. The lesser of 2 evils only works when you have no good options- very sad indeed.
This forum, for example, I believe tends to have more conservative members than the general population because pro- motorcycle people tend not to be liberal, again generally.
It doesn't appear that I'm going to get any more honest answers to my question....so I might as well jump in.
I think you are correct (yes, as you said generally), but I think it has more to do with age. These days pro-motorcycle people tend to be older (same with this forum), and older people tend to be more conservative. Back in the sixties when it seems the U.S. motorcycle population exploded, motorcyclists were not considered very conservative at all.
I think you can take a poll Marty- that should get you more answers. ??Yes, I should have started that way, probably too late now.
Yet, I'm still using the new one...
Unfortunately, refusing to vote doesn't help matters either. It might send a message, but one that apparently nobody cares about. Both major "parties" are terribly corrupt. Although, I will still vote for the lesser of two evils, which is mostly the party that believes in less spending, less debt, less taxes, and less government. Everything is relative since neither will make major progress in that direction, although one tends to more than the other.
What we need are additional parties and independents. That will FORCE the major parties to be responsive, get new blood in the power mix, prevent spoilers, give voters more choice, and help stop "single issue" campaigns. But our system of "first past the post" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-past-the-post_voting ) makes it all but impossible due to a huge "spoiler effect" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_effect ). The only solution is to change the WAY we vote (for everything- primaries, legislative branch, executive branch, State and Federal), by moving to some form of ranked voting system ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked_voting ). Unfortunately:
1) Such change is difficult.
2) Such change costs money.
3) Changing to a ranked system absolutely does not benefit either major party, so they will do anything they can to trash or prevent the idea from spreading.
On the plus side, it doesn't have to be an all or nothing situation since States control how voting is performed for/by their State, they have the individual power to do something without having to drag the rest of the country along. Right now, Maine is the ONLY State to do so, (although some localities throughout the nation do use it) and it is a major event:

But still, it is only for State elections, not for their Federal ones. But it is a start. One that needs to spread.

Yeah well, it's not like polls ever changed anything. They just provide information, at least you know how the poll respondents thought about it.
I didn't think it would make you care.
Mid-life crisis, Jim?
Assuming I can find the old one, I may just switch back or try something even newer.
Mid-life crisis, Jim?You didn't ask that when he bought the Indian?
It looks more like the medieval version of posing with your clubbed baby harp seal.
He thought posing with a pet dragon would do it, but upon closer inspection it turns out to be a slain dragon, and a not very mature one at that. So he's still looking.

Voting for the lesser of two evils gets you exactly what you voted for. Evil. It solves nothing and exacerbates the problem. And you all (mostly) have fallen for the two party system, in the belief you must vote for one of two parties.

And you all (mostly) have fallen for the two party sytem, in the belief you must vote for one of two parties. You shouldnt be goting for a plitical party.
And a vote for someone else is not a wasted vote. The problem is so many are so brainwashed into this belief they will never vote for anything other than d or r. And as long as people do this the quality of candidates will never change. Your voting for them no matter how many promises they break-and the gop is best at that-tells them to continue screwing us.
You get what you vote for.
