a whole ~2% of eligible voters have seen it? wow.

assuming, of course, every viewer is an eligible u.s. voter. which they probably are not (underage viewers, unregistered viewers, non-us viewers). so the percentage is likely lower.

video changes absolutely nothing
if I were a Democrat political operative I'd probably put my appearances on it on my CV
 
Once a fan, Trump declares: 'I don't believe the polls anymore'

And the polls Trump is decrying now are run by the same news organizations and academic groups as those Trump has frequently cited at his rallies and blasted out to his millions of followers on Twitter since he kicked off his campaign in June 2015.

During the primary, Trump frequently opened his rally by boasting about his lead over his Republican primary rivals by citing one new poll or another. That continued in recent months as some polling showed Trump leading or in a tight race with Clinton.

But by Trump's own admission earlier month, you don't talk about the polls when you're losing.

"When we do badly, I don't talk about the polls," he said. "When we're doing well, I talk about the polls."

qft

This is pretty impressive activism, regardless what you think of the candidate.
Very successful political agitation - no wonder they're boasting about it.

It seems pretty naive to act shocked by this. Politics is a fucking dirty game.
And this election is about as down and dirty as they come.
Clinton's dirty tricks have worked better for her than Trump's have for him. He's just unleashed a foul stench into politics that will hang around long after he is gone.
But that video's funny. Union guys - "they're rock'n'roll". Yeah no shit! :)

Good on them for riling up Trump rallies It worked a charm and showed us something that wasn't staged, even if what provoked is was.
And why else would protestors go to a campaign rally like that but to stir shit up.
Maybe i read too much about the Yippies when i was younger, but this seems like pretty tame shit to me.
It's not like they tried to levitate the Pentagon ffs.

I'm not a Clinton fan by any stretch, but real politicians need to be able to play the game.
Trump's a clown in a business suit, he fucking sucks at actual politics that isn't low-rent demagoguery but he's built his brand and increased his media exposure, so he can still gloat about achieving something here when he's finished whining about how the system is rigged against him.
 
So universal healthcare has been implemented in various ways in a bunch of countries. Proponents here can at least point to those examples when pushing universal healthcare. The merits are certainly debatable, but there are working examples.

So thought experiment for those of you who want e.g. a military coup or worry about the (((globalists))).

Does anyone have an example of an authoritarian or military coup which came to power by blaming/suspecting certain races where things worked out well? Like not a genocidal mess, but something more along the lines of steady growth, investment in critical infrastructure, increase in median income, increase in child literacy, rights for women....something like that...or are these situations just a greatest hits of genocidal maniacs killing people?

Are there working examples of this model outside right winger's fantasies?
 
I'm not sure if that was sarcasm, but if not I can assure you that the preparation time for ICBM launch is not and has never been TOP SECRET or anything but openly shared knowledge.

Nasty woman, thanks a lot #HOLOCAUST HILLARY!!1
 
If Hillary wants to see bully she should look in the mirror at herself, as she's one and always has been one.
She's not a friend or ally to women/girls-she completely exonerated a man who brutally beat and raped a young girl, psychologically abused the girl when she took the stand in court, harassed all the women who came forward to say that Bill Clinton had sexually abused or even raped them, and despite her claims of being for LGBT rights and same sex marriage in reality she's not actually been for either as her husband and she completely supported DOMA.

She and 0bama also coddle and excuse radical militant Islamists and want to bring a lot of them into North America.

I am going to probably vote for Gary Johnson instead of either of the two clowns running in both parties, as both major parties are now the same and have been the same for decades and there's no change, and we are moving for sure towards a one party system.
 
It's hard to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwhich . But I can't trust Hillary, she sketches me out man. And I know trump can be ridiculous, but gotta respect someone who gets in front of the whole world and says exactly what's on his mind. Idk y'all write my name in.

Is he though? Surely he's saying what his advisory team... advise, at the very least. Not to mention what role more specialist groups may play. I don't think its paranoid to assume that this is the case.

I think its incredibly clear that the two main parties in the UK are essentially two separate factions serving the same interests. Just turn the news on and see how Jeremy Corbin is villafied by his own party.

My view is that Trump isn't very clever, Hillary probably is, but they're both evil, so fuck them both.

Im in sure he's got his advisers yapping in his ear, but idk i get the feeling he just rips his notes up and speaks out his ass lol I'm not on the bandwagon, it's just nice to see something different in politics
 
i am rewatching the debate.

hillary pointed out the donald's hypocrisy for whining about trade while using foreign products and foreign workers. his response was that his using chinese workers instead of american workers was hillary's fault for allowing him to do it.

such fail.
