SOPA (Western Cape)

[BeerIsNotGood...]

You don't need to agree with a party's policies to vote for them.

:crylaugh:

Which is why I'm seriously considering EFF as my provincial vote come next elections.

So you'd trade piss for ****?

He cannot get himself to vote for whites....shame!

Humans are tribal. It's why blacks in America almost always vote Democrat. It's why those whites in the southern states always vote Republican. It's why whites in SA always vote DA. It's why blacks in SA always vote ANC. The DA will never get the majority black vote in SA because regardless of the party's aptitude, it will always be seen as a "white party". Mmusi Maimane being the leader now helped a bit but still hasn't changed. In fact, many blacks don't see it as progressive, they see him as a sellout or uncle tom. I'm actually curious as to the current demographics of the Western Cape. The main reason why DA wins in WC is because the majority population are coloureds and they mostly vote DA. However, I'm wondering if the demographics have shifted towards an increase in WC's black population. If so, that could result in the ANC winning and that will be a sad day for WC.

That's probably the worst defense I've ever heard.

Doesn't say much about the party but a hell of a lot about you...

Lets hope not. If I was CR watching that SOPA I would actually bow my head in shame thinkg "Jissis .... my own people are a fcking embarrassment"

Highly unlikely, CR thinks Zuma should still be treated with dignity..

Voting for people whose sole aim is to take that business interests away is really going to help. Rather vote COPE.

I still find it funny that people think communism/socialism can work. Just look at Eastern Europe ffs :wtf:

It is politics. Maimane congratulated CR like a long lost brother, ain't it?

IMO it has less to do with race and more the absolute uselessness of both the DA and ANC.

The EFF are a concentrated version of all the bad parts of the ANC. It is downright delusional to think that they would be any better than the ANC/DA.

Does always mean the last 50 years? The South used to be a solid Democratic hold, they brought in Jim Crow laws after a Republican president (mostly) banned slavery.

Voters shift over time.
