Criticizing the only hope for change, despite any shortcomings therein and with failure to look at the bigger picture, is about the most retarded and useless thing anyone can do. I would blindly follow hope for a better future any day, and subsequently vote against my initial decision should it prove wrong. There is a difference. I don't know marine1 and can't vouch for his posts and what you're referring to, but that is my personal motivation for defending the DA vehemently. It isn't about the bloody DA but about our future.

Thus anyone against the DA in my mind is a waste of space. Not because of the DA but because of our future. This, in my mind, is and has been our renewed struggle in this country for a while now.

Unfortunately I now look around me in the street with pity and disgust at my fellow countrymen who I no longer wish to associate with. If the feeling is mutual then GOOD! No more fscks will be given by me for their injustices and excuses.

So, a mindless supporter. Good luck with life. It is going to get really depressing for you
 
More than 3% difference between national and provincial ANC vote for Gauteng. :confused:

What are you trying to imply? Helen also had photo's while talking to Mantashe earlier. Or do you think the politicians hate each other like you seem to? Because they don't, they get along quite well

i'm not against politicians interacting with each other i'm just saying lets hope there won't be an EFF ANC collation because there is more chance of that happening unlike a DA ANC collation which has zero chance of happening. Just a thought

I don't quite see how he's a mindless supporter for defending that position.

He's mindful of the bigger issue at stake, which concerns the well-being of the majority of South-African citizens. For this he is willing to vote for a party that might not represent his interests to the maximum, but seems to offer the best chance at taking this country forward as fast as possible.

That said, no party should be considered above criticism. It is exactly the lack of a critical attitude towards our political parties that enables our current political situation to continue.

The DA and ANC have almost identical policies. The EFF is radically different to both.

He is unwilling to hear criticism. People that support things uncritically are mindless in my little opinion

They haven't counted as many provincial as national ballots. 1.4 million national ballots from Gauteng, 1.17 million provincial ballots.

Ah, that makes sense. Good catch
