[LOCKED] Harbaugh on Twitter re: Trump... Goodness
Jim has thoughts on presidential initiatives... Comment on your own risk. I love Harbaugh! https://mobile.twitter.com/CoachJim4UM?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%…
MOD EDIT - I'll lock this to be safe. We shall leave the link to the tweet here, of course, for everyone's private reflection. - LSA

I have a feeling Harbaugh is very non partisan and considers every issue individually. I wish every American were that way.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:34 PM ^
Agree 100%
February 28th, 2017 at 1:03 PM ^
Party>>>morals/religion/character/ethics/avoiding-being-a-massive-hypocrite.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:47 PM ^
I also suspect he's interested in the character of our leaders as well as their policies.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:49 PM ^
You seem like you're itching to say more.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:55 PM ^
That he does seem like.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:55 PM ^
When saying "I bet he judges leaders by their character" and that is taken to mean something partisan, that's a pretty good sign that something is drastically fucked up with the state of affairs in this county.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:05 PM ^
Or maybe because the comment itself is out of place and completely irrelevant to this thread?
February 28th, 2017 at 1:12 PM ^
lol elected officials with character lol
Get a clue. They're all scumbags.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:14 PM ^
Somehow this is the most reasonable comment so far.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:12 PM ^
I know better. Bolivia sucked. Besides, it's pretty clear that there are no minds left to sway.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:38 PM ^
but it makes voting a lot harder.
Also, good on Coach for taking a stand here.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:46 PM ^
But that plus stereotyping, while they both have their negatives, are UNBELIEVABLE timesavers. Seriously, busy people should look into this.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:50 PM ^
...I simply do not trust dogs.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
Now I has a sad.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:49 PM ^
How would you even vote, there are near zero politicians who cast their own votes this way.
Both sides need to become disillusioned enough to smash through the two-party tribalism. That seems a ways off though.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
If you have two parties, then you don't have any party.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:04 PM ^
the parties would just be replaced by two similar rebranded parties. You really have to have a parliamentary system to have multiple parties.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:10 PM ^
Two-party tribalism...I'm going to steal that. Party over Country...
February 28th, 2017 at 12:48 PM ^
Or he is partisan like everyone else but has the self control to be private about it...a virtue sadly lacking in today's society
February 28th, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
I wouldn't call being private about your politics/party a virtue given the importance of discussion and debate in a democracy.
It's good to see Harbaugh advocating for an issue he knows and cares about. We need to knowledgeably talk about the policies and details together rather than just yelling into various echo chambers. Not here though, of course.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:51 PM ^
It is noteworthy that beliefs about, say, the Second Amendment and abortion tend to line up as often as they do. The connection between the typical liberal and typical conservative positions on those issues is not at all necessary for intellectual consistency.
Seems like I should add that this is only an observation. I'm not advocating for anything here.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:11 PM ^
Less abortion equals more future gun sales.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:21 PM ^
Obviously there is no connection between the two things, but I think that viewpoints often align is more indicative of how an individual views the world, rather than an indication of pure partisanship.
That being said I do work with both pro-2A and pro-choice Democrats (more union and rural types) as well as more libertarian types who vote Republican and are pro-2A and personally anti-abortion but who think the government should not regulate the choice (so technically pro-choice).
I don't think people actually align perfectly along party platforms as often as we think - I have always had very large disagreements with the party I generally vote for along certain issues - but the way individuals prioritize certain issues may cause them to vote for parties they only agree with half the time because that party represents their views on the issue most important to them. I know big time gun enthusiasts who vote Republican solely on 2A issues when they are otherwise a left-of-center individual.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:55 PM ^
JUST GET IT DONE,,,,,,Whatever is good for the TEAM, errr, Country,,,,get it done.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:56 PM ^
but considers all politicians to be jive turkeys of the highest order
February 28th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
You gotta choose sides.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:34 PM ^
In before lock
February 28th, 2017 at 12:34 PM ^
In before LSA brandishes the ban hammer.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:49 PM ^
LSA is the new Thor
February 28th, 2017 at 12:34 PM ^
I'm skipping this thread.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:39 PM ^
No, no you are not, and apparently you are unfamiliar with what "skipping" something means... :-D
P.S. I am skipping this one too, as far as substantive comments are concerned, but want to opine that this will get ugly fast, and at least one person will be called a fascist, while another will be called a "retarded liberal cuck feminazi..."
February 28th, 2017 at 1:00 PM ^
cuck.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:21 PM ^
He's a feminazi cuck. That's even worse I think!
February 28th, 2017 at 12:34 PM ^
Where the little kid goes in the room then makes an oooh face and turns around and heads out.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:38 PM ^
Damn, beat me to it!
February 28th, 2017 at 12:35 PM ^
In before the inevitable!
February 28th, 2017 at 12:35 PM ^
a controversial take. hardly thread worthy.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:37 PM ^
That oughta teach 'em.
February 28th, 2017 at 1:08 PM ^
Since when did you become the end all be all of this board Discuss Man?
February 28th, 2017 at 1:18 PM ^
"no politics"
February 28th, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
Funny how you didn't feel that way a month ago, but whatever.
February 28th, 2017 at 12:36 PM ^
This is something that Harbaugh knows a lot about as he is actively involved.

February 28th, 2017 at 12:38 PM ^
Doesn't Harbaugh know the rules around here?
I have a hard time imagining this one will be that controversial though.
