2016 American Presidential Campaign

I don't know what to do now. I have lost faith in both parties. They are both corrupt, and do not actually serve the people anymore.

Don't vote. I haven't since W the first time. That kind of put me off the whole practice. I believe it was one of the great early 20th century humorists, forget which, who said don't vote, it only encourages them.

 

[manboychef]

Indeed: I am still going to vote...if we do not exercise our rights we will lose them. I just am going to vote third party...which i guess is like not voting. The email leak has shown me that the democrats are just as crass and self serving as the republicans. Sad times my friend...sad times.

Yes indeed. It was the inestimable Mark Twain who said that. ?

 

[fabriclondon]

^^^Some say that quote was misattributed to Twain. Nonetheless I love me some Twain.

I was thinking Mencken tbh although not really his worldview. Or some contemporary. Google is all over the place. Cites once "old anarchist proverb" which just might be true. A lot of these things attach themselves to fanous names Jefferson ("vote themselves largess") Voltaire ("who you are not allowed to criticize") etc and no evidence of actually being said by the person in question but still contain some wisdom … memes basically

Every US-American should vote for 3rd party !

 

[Bardeaux]

^Indeed.

Chances are, in your state, there is a party on the ballot that represents your interests and principles. If more and more people voted for their specific interests via third party options, rather than for Team A or Team B, we might see a bit more realistic reflection of popular interests within the political system in the United States.

 

[Ziiirp]

That is also a reason, but my main point is, that both candidates will bring incredible pain to people worldwide and inside your country. Clinton could willingly endanger your citizens in the European way (based on the markets, she is prostituting herself for : Arms industry, Wall Street, Oil industry) and Trump will likely create a tense atmosphere for minorities, based on his statements, whereas I see Trump as the lesser evil of the two, even if he appears to be the bigger jerk, Clinton is the personified Diablo. If you vote for Clinton you vote for sorrow and fraud.

Just vote 3rd party and do something for the world peace.

 

[Bardeaux]

^Don't be fooled, Trump is a business man, not a politician. If chopping down mountains and expanding the extremely volatile fracking industry turns a profit in the short term over say, renewable sources of energy that run a short term cost but a long term gain, he's going to go where the short term money is. If policies that reap short term benefits but disastrous results for the long term, he's going to take the short term gain. That way, he looks like a hero in the short term (his presidency), by turning the country around, while in reality sinking it deeper and deeper into instability and instigating future crises.

This is a pretty unique situation, where I don't see a lesser of two evils here.

 

[Ziiirp]

It is really frightening, that foreigners have to worry more about the presidential election than US-citizens. Your nation and its incredibly superiour army is the most dangerous threat for every developing country in the world, that offers valuable natural resources or is the neighbour of a country, that has them. Together with the NATO tag-alongs they wander from country to country and wreck havoc on it, in order to later overthrow the local governments and take the resources. In the meantime they sell billions worth on arms to the different interest groups in the country, so that they can slaughter themselves to extinction.

Not even the refugees have to be accommodated by the US, because those silly European NATO-allies with negative population growth need them to pretend potential economic growth and fuel chaos in their own population in order to enforce liberty deprivating supervision laws.

The best deal is always gained by the US, the government plays mainly with the lives of foreign noninvolved humans. So please rescue a few lives and vote for 3rd party !

Lol Bernie is such a Cuck. He just bent over for Hilary then everyone had a good cry in the audience, and now it is all talk of electing a woman. Good god abc is biased towards Hilary.

 

[Ziiirp]

I guess Killary will win, because a majority of the global-politically uneducated, narrow-minded women in the US will vote for her, just because Diablo has a cunt.

I cannot even understand people, that cry over a sellout-speech by a formerly decent democratic candidate, that was fucked with a sharply polished strapon by Diablo, only weeks before. Those forced into line people need to get galvanized out of their medially initiated deep sleep and forced to watch with open eyes, what is going on in the world outside of the US. How their own ignorant behaviour contributes to the genocides, that bring wealth to only to a minority in their country, but doom to millions of people.

 

[Droppersneck]

Yep ^

They have bill out there trying to humanize her. This is just terrible and with his age I don't feel like his sales pitch is nearly as good as it once was. He is really trying to make her seem like she had to rough it and that their marriage was anything more than an evil pact of political convenience

We get it bro.

You can add something new to the discussion or why even bother adding the same sentence over and over? You're trolling. You know I don't dish out points very often, but come on man. Add something new to the discussion, otherwise you're just spamming up the thread with the same post over and over.

@ziiirp - Absolutely agreed.

 

[David Wooderson]

Bernie is the biggest fake since puff daddy
go heed and marinate on that for a min fam8)

He has gotten away with rendezvous on the "Lolita Epress" swear to god!

Where does that rank Hillary on this taboo married to a sexually complicated felons' journey?

 

[spacejunk]

… memes basically

Didn't Richard Dawkins coin the term "meme"?

I understand people's dislike of Clinton, but why all the sexualised/misogynistic ways of expressing it?
Seems like a double standard to put it like this;

I guess Killary will win, because a majority of the global-politically uneducated, narrow-minded women in the US will vote for her, just because Diablo has a cunt.

Do people have a problem with Clinton because she's female, despite the fact that she is a woman, or is it just a convenient way of attacking her?
I'm not a fan of Hillary at all, but it seems like a fairly large amount of the vitriol aimed at her is because of the fact that she isn't a white male.
Much like Obama.
Thoughts?

 

[David Wooderson]

vitriol aimed at her is because of the fact that she isn't a white male

Are you a for fact aboriginal australian?

If not than stfu

 

[Jabberwocky]

Google won't even list Trump lol

 

[MMT]

^And where's Gary Johnson. Google just assumes you only want to see liberal candidates. Move along,no bias to see here.
