Man, I could really go for some cold medicine right now.

Zoki’s out here talking about making his own way, and honestly, it makes me sick. This guy was a straight-A grad, and now he's just stuck being shoved into some government ministry position. For real, it sucks—I seriously regret not getting the hell out of here when I was younger. I mean, who even benefits from my hard work at this point?

honestly, if I were a woman looking for some killer sex between those two, I’d definitely go with Kolinda

A bit too soft for my liking tonight, honestly... not quite what I was hoping for

Kolinda basically just plays the victim and acts like she’s mentally lagging behind during these debates.

I honestly don't understand how you aren't more disgusted by Kolinda than you are by Zoran Milanović.

Honestly, she’s the one struggling to keep pace with Zoran Milanović.
Her education seems lacking, and she lacks any sense of logical reasoning or coherent speech.

Why on earth is Unai Emery coming for Zoran Milanović? 😂

There really isn't an issue here. Zoran Milanović basically claims he might have been rude, sure—but he was only being rude to an idiot.

As if that’s some kind of virtue... Justifying being a jerk because your opponent is an "idiot." That’s basically what the guy said about the Southampton manager yesterday too.

It really just boils down to a total lack of self-control. A professional politician running for President should probably be able to keep their cool... right?

I mean, how many times do we deal with complete morons on here and still manage to keep our act together? This whole thing is just a hobby for us, for crying out loud.

What exactly did the father say?
😲

...
How many times do we run into various idiots on here and still manage to keep our discourse civil? After all, writing this stuff is just a hobby.

I don't hold back. I often find myself wanting to write something blunt like, "Oh, give me a break, you're clearly wrong," while just shaking my head at the screen.

It’s honestly ridiculous how people criticize Zoran Milanović for being blunt or losing his cool when he's standing right next to some bottom-feeding, lying troll. Sometimes you just have to hit back harder to deal with people like that. It’s a damn shame the public is so easily fooled; they'll probably end up treating a guy like that as a victim, all because he can flash a fake smile.

I didn't quite catch how Zoran Milanović was being rude; all I saw was the footage of Unai Emery losing his cool with him. Was Zoki making fun of him for that "good evening" thing?

Look, I'm talking about the debate and how Kolinda handled those questions.

Paul Sanders5 said:Lol about Milan Bandić getting kicked out of the Democratic Party 🤣 yeah, Zoki finally realized just how much of a disaster Milan was and decided it was time to cut him loose 🙏
I remember being just a kid back in my small hometown, and even then, Milan Bandić was already acting exactly like he does today—totally unchanged. His whole playbook stays the same. He brought in all that money for the Democratic Party in Washington, D.C., and that’s the only reason they didn't toss him out sooner. It wasn't until he had the nerve to run for President that they absolutely crushed him. By then, it was too late; the guy had already built such a massive web of influence that he could stay in power as long as he damn well pleased. And honestly? You can thank Zoki for that.

So yeah, Zoran is just like everyone else—actually, maybe worse, because he basically held the ladder for a guy who basically controlled the most important city in the entire country. He covered for him on purpose because it kept the perks coming.
And why was he the absolute worst Prime Minister? Look at his economic policies, look at the crowd of people he surrounded himself with to draft them... I mean, seriously, these are people whose biggest achievement was fixing up Marshall's old boat in some random city.

So yeah, Zoki, suck it. Sending kisses from my ski trip 👋

But really, what is the actual difference between Sanders's and Zoran Milanović's "economic strategies" when it seems like they both serve the interests of someone like Dr. Ivo? Or even Franjo Harmon?

When you look at public perception, the reality is quite simple: Zoki never had heavy hitters in his corner like Kalmeta or Kirin. It’s obvious why people are still so impressed by them today.

I'm just messing with you, though, so there's no need to reply; I already know where you stand and that we aren't going to move the needle one way or the other here.

If you say "nothing," then you're just asking to get kicked around.

I'm waiting for a smart answer.

Look, honestly, I wouldn't choose either of them. I generally prefer things to go well for me and try to aim for that.
Your question is basically asking an abused woman whether she’d prefer a husband who kicks her in the stomach and throws her down the stairs, or some ex who just gave her the occasional slap. Just because one option is worse doesn't mean you actually want the other one.

But it's fascinating to me, guys, how passionately you defend an option that you yourselves just compared to herpes and a slap in the face. I've also noticed you tend to jump at any attempt to suggest a third alternative.
How far does this go? It seems your resentment isn't even ideological; it's purely partisan.

And then people will be surprised when most folks just stay home on Sunday, because they have no desire to hand everything over to one slimy, shameless party just so it can gloat over the other.

Everything would be absolutely wonderful if staying put meant you could simply dodge both of those disasters altogether. But since you’re inevitably going to end up stuck with one of them, why on earth would you let someone else make the choice for you?

Honestly, mah11 is basically just taking out all his frustrations with Liverpool on our President here.

The bottom line is, the President said the most important thing at the end of that debate—she told reporters straight up that she just doesn't get Milan's aggressive vocabulary, his attitude, or his whole way of thinking. In actual, high-stakes international diplomacy? That kind of behavior just doesn't fly. It’s a non-starter.

My takeaway? He’s cut from the same cloth as mah11. He’d spend five years venting all his random grievances onto his own people and leaving us totally isolated from the rest of the world. And apparently, he looks up to Marshall as some kind of hero. If you guys are masochists, sure, go ahead and vote for him. Someone already hit the nail on the head with that perfect phrase: he’s like a bull in a china shop.

Honestly, we *should* isolate ourselves from a nationalist like Aleksandar Vučić and his polished buddy Viktor Orbán. That guy thinks he needs to annex everything from the Midwest to parts of Slovakia and Romania. If isolation means staying away from people like that, then let's do it. No sense rubbing elbows on bridges with them....
Plus, we need to finally detach Herzegovina from our map after twenty years and actually get to work....

Man, Kizo was absolutely running the show last night. If I were some indecisive voter making my choice based purely on the debates, I’d definitely be leaning toward rounding up the vote for number 1. To make matters worse, Dr. Emery basically handed them the win on a silver platter with that late-game blunder.

They aren't selling Barbika to me as some kind of messiah coming to save us, especially when they conveniently ignore the fact that the guy has already been in power before.

Man, if you didn't know anything about them—if their resumes were just handed to you out of nowhere—you wouldn't even be able to tell who is who 😂 because they’re essentially the same. That's why I don't buy this whole "choosing the lesser of two evils" hype. No, you don't "choose." If neither of them works for you, you just skip the election entirely.

Paul Sanders5 sleeps like a baby because he hasn't spent his life voting for either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. How many times has Zoki voted for Milan Bandić? Like, maybe four times, brother to brother, at most. 😂
