I really am enjoying Hobbes' views on SCT/State of Nature&War in Leviathan

this is the best debate ever

Some recent polls show Hillary beating Cruz and trump, but kasich winning. This keeps up and if trump doesn't break 50% we'll see kasich there. Trump could run third party but then house of reps would go kasich if nobody goes over 50%

Post 'dem chapter names bruh. I've got a copy of Leviathan on my desk that I've procrastinated opening all semester.

We just started on tuesday but Part I Chapters 6, 11 and 13. Basically why Hobbes thinks government is necessary (the anti-Dak) and why people are generally terrible.

I thought I had stated more than once recently I am essentially coming around on Hobbes.

I don't really get how you aren't pro-Hobbes on at least this topic

Kasich has no chance, the man is clinging to false hope after his Ohio victory. He would need to win 116% of the remaining delegates to do so. Which is, needless to say, mathemtically impossible. Not to mention he's a soulless establishment stooge. Then again, a Kasich presidency would still be less violently retarded than a Trump, Sanders, Cruz, or Beelzebub presidency.

All delegates are required to vote for their candidate on the first ballot. If no one breaks 50% (IE a very possible trump 47-49%) those delegates are free to change their votes for the second round of voting in order to get a candidate above 50%. Though going against the popular vote they could even rally to kasich if they think he the best shot in the general election. He's got way fewer negatives than the rest of them and wouldn't rally the Sanders supporters to go out and vote for Hillary in the general election, if only to shut down Cruz/Trump who draw a lot more ire from the left. They might just stay home given the choice between Hillary and the not so offensive kasich...

Whoever made that definitely isn't a Berniebro dickrider.

aug agrees more with...
religion - L
immigration - C
snowden - L
military - L
the fed - C

although i acknowledge the validity of the conservative side's points and thought they were better speakers, less government and free association of individuals (but NOT open borders), fiscally conservative yet socially liberal is the superior political philosophy

Why did you have to post that just as I was about to head to bed?
