Everyone is entitled to an opinion on anything they want to have an opinion on, Mr. Thought Police.
That doesn't mean everyone is entitled to a VOTE on every issue, but we all have opinions, including Mr. Thought Police.

I like Yang, he's a smart fellow and I would be glad to have him as POTUS.

Why? 

Having freedom of thought is an intrinsic part of being human.  Most opinions probably aren't worth a damn, but that doesn't mean we should control what people think.  Not that we could, anyways.
I'm shocked a University professor would be so eager to censor the very thoughts of those with whom he disagrees.

Who is censoring? I'm in no position to censor anyone but myself. And I do.

This is why I earlier said that I find cincy (and perhaps you) more arrogant than me: you grant yourself the right to have an opinion on literally everything. I would never claim that for myself. 

you literally have said several times over many threads "you aren't entitled to an opinion on this". not sure how it can be a more clear example of censoring. 

gambs is a self-professed arrogant. and i think i can speak for many that we still love him to bits. 

Shit, man, I didn't realize when I said that that I deleted your comments. I'll wield my power more responsibly from here on out. 

Alternate response: you don't know what the word "censor" means. 

It might just be the latter.

i know perfectly well what it means, but thanks for yet another unoriginal thought.

Given a) the level of anti-Trump sentiment around here; and b) the simultaneous impulse toward civic engagement (i.e., the general sense that people should vote), I must confess I'm a little surprised by y'all's nearly-universal "everyone gets an opinion" take. Isn't the combination of entitlement to an opinion and civi engagement what got us into this problem?

No, it's the failure of many not exercising that right.  

For someone with such consistently bad takes, you're shockingly confident the majority agrees with you. 

Ignoring your trolling, my comment is my own opinion.  I'm unsure how you would get "shockingly confident the majority agrees with you" out of that. 

Reasoning. 

Ah, no wonder you got it 100% wrong.

You're more of a gut instinct kinda guy.

Zing, you really got me there.

Here's another unoriginal thought, you don't know what true censorship means, it's either by ignorance or stubbornness. I really don't care but it is amusing.

Nobody was censored.

On topic, I liked Yang. But am glad to see him throw in the towel now, it was the right time. A candidate with ideas ahead of his time.

I'm not interested in "zings". pointing out an annoying pattern of yours. I'm not interested in your constant "I'm going to agree with THIS guy and pile on the guy he disagrees with instead of adding to the discussion in any meaningful way".

I agree with this guy so I'm piling on without adding to the discussion in anyway...ironic isn't it?  Did I use ironic properly?  My generation was hosed by Alanis and we are never really sure.
