TL;DR for @heywoodu - there was a vote for Trump's impeachment, some are happy with the result, some are not.

So now you say that democracy won.  What exactly will be your words once senate throws it out?

Democracy lost. Free and fair elections are one of the biggest principles of democracy; Trump tried to fix them twice.

The whole water/wet thing was a big debate in my generation in high school. My response was meant to be more of a light hearted jab. 
 

Also, to be fair. You always seem to forget you’re talking to someone who’s majoring in communications studies, with a potential minor in psychology, and with avid interests in human philosophy and nature, geography, and political theory.

 

I'm like twice as old as you and "my generation" in high school NEVER talked politics. We were more busy with cigs, drinks & chicks

 

My sister majored in psychology and runs her own private practice now and guess what, she's gone all left-wing ever since her uni days. You're not inventing the wheel here, buddy. Even in such a racist country as Poland (by your own account) psychologists are left-wing maniacs

 

And despite all of all, I'm OUT on the "water isn't wet" debate. Maybe it's worth the squeeze in the psychology world and everyone with a degree can think I'm just a complete moron, but it's a total waste of my time. Again, this is 21st century, people don't communicate anymore, they're only trying to sell their own vision and will never accept that they're wrong and someone else might actually be right. That's what I think of "your generation". You saying "water isn't actually wet" only confirms it. I'm OUT.

Actually bro it's the other way around.   TODAY. the democracy lost.  In the senate they will win.   Trump won because he was the better candidate.   And in 2020 he will win because he will be the better candidate

I've said this before, democratic sociallism works well in Nordic countries - small population and huge natural resources you can cash in. If USA population was 5.5 million like Denmark then Sanders would have a genuine shot at making it happen. However it's NEVER going to happen in a country with population of 300m+

And I don't necessarily disagree, but @Maxim Fastovsky is making parallels between democratic socialism and fascism. That's where it gets too much!

It's obvious he will defend the most-Israel friendly President USA has had in the last 50 years   It's a no-contest here.

I am aware of that

 

Although this isn't even something to be happy or not about, since it was already a 99% sure outcome. Just like the opposite one in the Senate.

Ah, the generation debate is back. Dividing people into separate groups because they were born a few years earlier or later. Gotta love it.
