I don't like Hillary, but there is some serious retardation in this clip



"Don't give me your 'facts', I will take my feelings instead".

This kinda of rhetoric is the death of intellectualism.

Yea, I saw that. It was horrifying.

Both horrifying and terrifying.
Our political system isn't that great, but the 2 party system clearly has major flaws as well.

I'd rather have the hodge podge of smaller parties than two monumentally retarded parties. I must admit though, as much as I know how terrible a Trump presidency would probably be, a twisted part of me almost wants to see it to see just how terrible things can become. It's probably the same part of me that looks at wrecks on the road.

No, I get that. It's only once you've wrecked something, that you have an opportunity to rebuild it as something better.

I think the only alternative would have been Jeb Bush, so yeah, not sure i'd be happy with that either. With Clinton we're getting another dynasty. I do lament Sanders endorsing Clinton. I think Bernie was the only credible option.

Good tiles at Trump rallies. "get dem beaners out" "Fuck that nigger" "muslim is not a religion pardner" "sieg heil" "faggots"

crying for the world

It looks like his support is crumbling, which is good. It also means Hillary will probably be the first female president of the US. First an African American male, then a white woman... next an atheist? Who knows!

Regarding Trump, I think it's a combination of bigots flocking to him and people that are tired of the status quo. The erosion of the middle class, 15 years of continuous war, the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer... lots of people are fed up, I think. If he weren't so disgusting I might be tempted as well. But no, I'm not stupid.

Yeah, I suppose your analysis is right. I guess the religious right is a little confused on this one though haha. Decadent New Yorker who remarried twice and has (in the past, although not now anymore) been a supporter of abortion rights and other social liberties...I think even Clinton would be closer to their values than Trump.

What I don't understand though is that the same people who have been losing their spot in the middle class would throw in their lot with a man like Trump, who obviously hasn't even smelled the middle class in 70 years. But as you said, you're not stupid. A lot of people are. That's probably the simple answer to that question.

Looks like a lot of people even within the Republican party are openly distancing themselves from him now. So yeah, barring any major upsets it's looking like his game may finally be over. But it's a long time til November!

Yea, there's no telling what will happen. Even if the Trump wins, it'll make for some interesting times.

I'm still trying to figure out who to vote for. The Anti-vaxxer is out (Green party), and the guy that wants to just get rid of half of the federal government seems like an idiot as well (Libertarian). Even the losers are losers.

The green candidate is/was an antivaxxer? Lol. Man, politics are weird in the US. On this side of the pond the greens are typically bleeding hart lefties. I've always kind of figured the antivaxxer idiocy was mostly on the right side of the political spectrum.

But yeah, it does sound like there is barely anyone left to vote for. I face the same problem back home. Luckily, I don't live in Belgium, so I can dodge our good old soviet-style mandatory voting system for the most part.

Mandatory voting? Jeez. I'm sure that ends well. BTW, greens are far left, as are the anti-vaxxers. Weird world we live in.

It's a real thing

How the fuck do ridiculous ignorant conspiracists end up on the far left? I guess idiocy is not restricted to any political orientation.

Yea, there are idiots everywhere. Far left, far right, far moderate They're all equally dangerous.
