If we disqualify all US politicians for being dishonest we disqualify all US politicians

It goes with the job field of trying to satisfy everyone, with people who have self-contradictory beliefs

Doesn't mean they can't do a good job, advertising someone's shit when everyone's shit isn't much more shit than normal

Null, if you think Clinton is one of the most corrupt politicians possible, you really don't live in the US. As maniac (and others) has noted repeatedly, if clinton's "scandals" are the worst they can (try to) pin on her, she's basically spotless insofar as american politicians go.

You'd vote for someone who brought up 9/11 and being a woman as the reason why campaign contributions wouldn't effect her.

Dude, politics shouldn't be tribal like that.

but it is like that

if the republican field were capable of summoning up somebody better than clinton, i'd consider voting for that person, but their current strategic direction suggests that they will never surmount even that mediocre bar

and if you want to talk tribalism, you will never convince me not to vote for somebody solely on their lack of merits - tell me what they plan to actually do that i hate, instead of why they're a bad person, and tell me why the alternatives are better

Is anyone here actually going to vote for Hillary "Laugh Off The Pain" Clinton?

Seriously, she just laughs at any questions that she can't answer.

yes, probably, since i expect her to win the primary

I'm still really missing De Bellis Multitudinis and Field of Glory, the two ancient to medieval rulesets I used to wargame on. I actually have a bronze medal for DBM from a national tournament hanging somewhere, but it's not played much hereabouts. And to make it sound awesomer than it probably is, I was taught by the 2014 world champion for DBM.

I've never lashed out the money for a full army of my own, but I sometimes get extremely tempted.

Everyone except the richest percentile. And neither of us will ever be in the richest percentile, you can count on that.

Try saying "So what?" again when you're living in the street, m8.

No.  CollisionShape exampleTriangle = new CollisionTriangle();
The other way around will throw an exception.
And you can also declare them as the subclass and declare the storage thing as using the superclass.

Or it could be just good old short-sightedness combined with ego and stupidity. Maybe they honestly didn't expect it to get this bad, maybe they hoped for some karma points for their next election without thinking of the consequences.

In any case, the motivation doesn't really matter that much anymore. You don't need to figure out why someone decided to dump a septic tank into your living room as much as you need to figure out how to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

(and no, I'm not saying the immigrants are shit, I just couldn't think of a better analogy on the spot)

Re: a) the main issue is that this is a suicidal strategy. You're more likely to give that very opportunity to your opposition - which, unlikely to be super fond of you - since your entire voting base can see you've fucked up and created the problem in the first place.
