I noticed this to be a big culprit generally... the reality though is that it's difficult for a lot of people that have been indoctrinated growing up one way or another, to try to place themselves as mere spectators, without a heavy emotional stake.

Whether that's a "bad" thing or not, it doesn't really matter, IMO, it's just the reality of the situation. But I think it also goes a long way towards why some people are eventually "surprised" when elections don't go the way they think they should go.

I hate it when you retards on the internet change definitions.

:lol Yonivore literally only posts here every four years to slurp the GOP's handpicked big-government, warmongering neocon... kind of a strange reason to come to a basketball forum, tbh....

Public?

I thought it was specified as "grass roots" public, and artificial, hence the artificial grass...

Like I said. I hate it when people change definitions.

Clinton has the "grass roots" fake public in hand. Does Yoni?

Have a 70's definition by chance? I'm a bit outdated with all this revisionism you guys go for.

Like I said. I don't see Yoni as very "Clintonesque."

:lmao

You can think it means whatever you think it means... I think pretty much everyone else understood what I was saying...

OK, please explain it to me.

Look it up, I already posted the Oxford dictionary definition. You call out boutons for the same darn thing all the time.

I already looked at several definitions hours back. I don't understand your intent. I have asked you to elaborate. You refuse to.

I guess you are ashamed of your answer.

:lol I'm confident non-stupid posters understood exactly what I said. You're clearly not my audience.
