US Election Discussion

I brought your knowledge of economics into question, yes. It's fine though, you can call it crazy if you want, because like you said, this country was founded on freedom of speech, and people can say whatever they wish, "no matter how outlandish, random, or bat-s'hit insane it is.". I realize I'm not taken very seriously here, since the large majority of you guys have a pretty liberal bias and probably see mine as more conservative (though it's not on most issues, I just happen to overlap with them on economics and a small handful of other issues), but not being afraid to speak my mind even if absolutely nobody agrees with me on certain issues is pretty much all I have in life; I realize you aren't actively trying to dissuade me from posting, so don't take it like that, by the way. Honestly though, I feel like in a community where many don't agree with me, what I say actually has the best chance to persuade at least SOMEBODY to my way of thinking; doesn't even have to be total persuasion, everybody has their own base set of ideals that nobody else's opinion will affect, after all.
