No they could not, I used real life scenarios. The most important part of an arugment is REAL LIFE SCENARIOS! And I do not think people that disagree with me need to leave, people that are crazy nutty nut bags that hate white people, hate capitalism, and hate the western standards of beauty, western values, and burn the American flag can leave! That is what has made America why it is so great! Those people can leave, and I hope they do! I just got done talking to a group of them last night! *contemplates suicide
If you think I'm dumb now, you can blame it on me talking to them.
Unhappy people can leave. Or they can help shape the future of the country by voting, lobbying or even running for office themselves. If you're unhappy and don't vote, tough luck. If you're unhappy and the majority of people who voted disagree with you, thats too bad; you can live here and accept it for the office term or you can leave.
What makes this country great is what's in the Constitution, not any specific viewpoint.
It's difficult to tell which poster wrote what portion of the above comment. Maybe a mod can fix the post.
Anyway, writing "unhappy people can leave" and then, in the same paragraph, make references to the Constitution, is a contradiction in terms.
There's a reason we have a Supreme Court and why Article V was ratified in 1788. What if someone said to women who were unhappy because they weren't allowed to vote, "well, you gals can just leave?" What if 19 year olds who were being drafted to fight in Vietnam but couldn't vote were told, "just shut up because you're not 21." What if a person who was being held against her will and forced to work without compensation complained and was told, "Hey, ya don't like it. Just move somewhere else."
I do agree, however, with this statement and the words that follow.

Something got screwy. The quote inside post #284 was by Seattle4321, not myself. The two paragraphs outside the quote box was by me. It doesn't look like i can edit it anymore.
I find it funny that Republican pundits think Trump will get Bernie supporters; they are falling for the narrative that all Bernie supporters want free stuff and that Trump will take care of the economy. Wrong. Trump pretty much represents everything they oppose.
So far, this is going to be the lowest turn out for any prudential election in recent times. Both candiadtes are largely unpopular. The conservtives and republican establishment do not like Trump. And progressives and populist do not like Shillary. Can Trump win with a low republican voter turnout. Can citydata voters of Donald Trump rig the elections and vote multiple times so that Trump can win?
Yeah, I don't see Sanders' supporters voting for Trump, but a good chunk won't vote for The Hildabeast either.

The Republican party is broken and Trump's nomination substantiates that theory.
No matter what you believe (I identify as a Libertarian), there's something to be said for the Democrats nominating a black and female candidate.
The Republican party is centered on old trends and that's why Trump appeals to so many "old school" whites. Too bad they're a decreasing share of the population.
