I'm going to beat all you cowards with this one: I think Ted Cruz has a sort of ugly-cute appeal to him. Kind of like the blondish.

Just no.

Jar Jar is not a terrible character.

Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie.

But they all suck.
(this is a thread for unpopular opinions after all)

May > Corbyn

This x100.

I'm not really a Democrat to begin with, and I'm also not from Illinois. my avatar would be I-VA if I wasn't playing up the whole Ms. Yummy thing.

"Good billionaires" do not exist.

Another unpopular opinion: good people with a single rose emoji in their name/username do not exist.

"One Like Putin" is a damn good song.

Eh... I've heard worse, at least.

I support Manchin's primary challenger

Yeah, and the idea that Paula Jean whateverherlastnameis is going to be able to win in West Virginia is idiotic. as if a far-left, anti-coal Democrat could win in WEST VIRGINIA. She obviously won't win the primary, but if she did, she'd be lucky to get 25% of the vote versus a reasonable Republican.

Foot fetishists are weirdos and creep me out, and that's really saying something.

It's a shame he had such awful views, because Enizgie was quite an intellectual. Why someone so intellectual would be a Nazi is beyond me.

Is that... Darrel Issa?

Pretty much every opinion I hold is unpopular, but here are just a few:

George W. Bush was a good president, at least in domestic policy.
Barack Obama was not an especially good president.
Most Pixar films aren't that good, and Finding Nemo was terrible.
Good billionaires exist.
Marijuana should remain illegal.
Roe v. Wade is one of the worst Supreme Court decisions of all time.
Parents should have the right to send their kids to whatever school they want, whether public, private, or charter.
Obesity and heart disease are caused by sugar, not animal fat.
Life begins at conception.
Vaccines do not cause autism.
Soft drinks, though unhealthy, are better for you than alcohol.
Alcohol is as dangerous as smoking or hard drugs.  Same goes for marijuana.
Hand-drawn, traditional animation is better than CG animation.
Toys should not be sold as gender-specific.
Chris Christie and John Kasich are two of the best governors in the country, and I will miss both of them when they're gone.
Trump was elected because of protectionism, not racism.
Most police officers do not target young black men simply because of race.
White people are not all evil.
The far left and the far right are both wrong.
Right-wing media is as bad for America as left-wing media.
All news is fake news.
Illegal aliens should not be given amnesty unless they have been here long enough to establish themselves.
Sanctuary cities are unconstitutional and illegal, and therefore should be defunded.
Abortion is not healthcare unless done as a legitimate medical necessity.
Abortion should be illegal in cases of rape or incest.
Fascism is not conservative or right-wing.
Not all Muslims are terrorists or support terrorism.
Will Ferrell is stupid and unfunny.

You sound like a moderate hero with most of these opinions. I don't see how they're unpopular.

Globalization is nothing but a force for evil driven by the elites.

Sometimes the alt-right and alt-left are hard to tell apart.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Trump has a nice smile.

I actually don't disagree.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Mick Jagger is ugly as hell. Someone has to say it.

How is this an unpopular opinion? only a blind person could think he's attractive.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

I'm not weirded out by Texarkana or BRTD.

I have to say I'm personally weirded out by his foot fetish, eating the booty like groceries is one thing, but when you're (presumably) sucking on someones toes, that's just out there man.

Woodrow Wilson was a great President. Not an unpopular opinion in the real world, but on atlas it is

Well, he was also extremely racist, so...

Whenever I see a bio like this my eyes roll into the back of my head:

I agree with this, except illegal immigrants are illegal.

what about illegal aliens?

They should be deported to Mars.

Democrats need to focus way more on economic issues than social issues in 2020.

I don't think that is particularly unpopular around here.

Except for that fact that campaigning on social issues has won them the popular vote in six of the last seven presidential elections, and the electoral vote in four of them.  (Trump was only the first Republican since Bush 1 to get over 300 EVs.)  Why would they give it up now, when it's worked so well for them thus far?  If anything, it's Republicans who need to drop the social issues, not Democrats.

I don't exactly agree with your conclusion: sure, Democrats have won 6 out of the last 7 popular votes in presidential elections but I think the focus on social issues has really hurt them down ballot and has prevented them from dominating the country politically. I'm no socialist (in Europe I support conservative parties all the time), but let's face it, the GOP's economic policies are ridiculous, social conservatism is the only thing that's saved the party. The GOP hasn't been reasonable on economics for at least 25 years now (the GOP's right wing basically turned on Bush Sr because he wanted to manage the deficit responsibly), if it weren't for the Democrats being so insistent on social issues, I suspect the GOP would have collapsed at least 10 years ago.

Oh and on this, a lot of my European friends originally thought that the Democratic Party was the reasonable conservative party and the GOP were just for crazy people, but after I told them about the Democrats' SJWness and support of open borders (no one here would support the Democrats' open border policy), they now understand why people vote GOP.

Waving a Confederate flag is not only racist, but treasonous and anti-American.

THIS!!!!!!!!! Glad we can agree on something, Oldiesfreak! People forget that the Confederacy was a treasonous group of rebels

People also forget that the flag below was flown by a treasonous group of rebels.

If you don't see a difference between our founders rebelling against British rule and Americans rebelling and committing treason against their own country, I don't know what to tell you.

Black Lives Matter is a hate group and a domestic terrorist organization.  Same goes for Antifa and the various alt-right groups.

By extension, that leads to another unpopular opinion of mine: there is not only an alt right, but an alt left as well.

Basically no one describes themselves as "Alt-left", so I'd say the alt-right is much more of a real thing for that reason alone.

Do you really think Macron is some open borders nutjob? Have you read anything about his presidency?

No, I don't... but in the US, Republicans would smear him as such.

A Democratic candidate doesn't need to solely focus on either the WWC or the base of young, minority, and female voters, but rather the best strategy would be to try to turnout both groups and appeal to both as much as possible without seeming phony.

Neither fascism nor communism killed anyone. Fascists and communists did.

I don't see how that's an unpopular opinion. It's undeniably true.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Nobody who wouldn't have otherwise killed someone anyway ever killed someone after watching a violent movie or playing a violent game.

Richard Nixon was no worse a person than anyone in the Kennedy family.

(paging Sanchez. )

I wouldn't say anyone in the Kennedy family. Bobby was a pretty good guy. I'd argue Nixon was a better person than Ted Kennedy though.
