US Politics

[Meengla]

sure thing, there is space for as many opinions as there are on all matters as far as I'm concerned, good on you for following through on your convictions.

on Trump, I don't think it even needs to be said because he's so obviously far from perfect lol, and also that the far right fringe is ugly wherever on earth you look but a little bit of nuance and not that broad strokes helps draw a clearer picture here.

The hitler bit is just retarded, not only is the US way too advanced as a society, there are many constitutional safeguards and redundancies built and hard coded into that system for it to ever fall to the nazis.

anywho, him blurting the occasional retardese and fumbling through a heated campaign is not how he will be in office, if he gets in, that is.


wheel to wheel out the final corner, game on !

I am at a loss trying to understand what you are trying to say here?!! If you meant, right-wing retards can be acceptable if they are little polished in their approach then, no, they will be still unacceptable.

And this idea that constitutional checks and balances are great moderating tools is also very dangerous: There is a reason why POTUS office is the most coveted office in America. The President can do a lot of damage, 'veto' a lot of bills getting to him, pass a lot of 'executive orders', appoint senior most officials... Yes, his actions could be blocked but it would be like trying to constantly block a rain of falling objects from hitting you--remember those 80's video games?!!

Silicon Valley Donated 60 Times More to Clinton Than to Trump

by ARI LEVY, CNBC

For every $1 that employees at the world's biggest technology companies donated to Donald Trump, they gave $60 to Hillary Clinton.

People who work at Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon sent a total of $3 million to the Democratic presidential nominee ahead of the 2016 election on Tuesday, compared with just over $50,000 to her Republican challenger, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Said differently, as of October 19, Clinton attracted 97 percent of big tech money, with the remaining 3 percent split between Trump, Libertarian Gary Johnson, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein.

Silicon Valley and Seattle, home to the technology giants, have long leaned blue, but this sort of one-sidedness is unprecedented and speaks to the technology industry's rejection of Trump's attitudes toward minorities and women and concern around pressing issues like climate change (which he called a hoax) and immigration.

Trump is the least right wing republican ever (in the religious zealot sense anyway)

look, there's many aspects to this but a lot of the fear and negative hype surrounding a possible Trump term is just partisan bs and fear mongering, is all.

I'm off now, we'll see how it all pans out tomorrow.

Hillary Clinton Is the World’s Choice for U.S. President, Poll Finds

More than 100,000 people from 130 countries took the online poll

Who would win the U.S. election if people from around the world were given a vote? A new poll aimed to find that out, and Hillary Clinton was the clear victor.

More than 100,000 people from 130 countries took part in the first ever Global Vote for a U.S. president, according to the global political movement The Good Country, which organized the online survey.

Participants were asked to select their preferred candidate in a non-scientific poll ahead of the official presidential election Tuesday. They were told to only consider the candidates’ international policies, as “domestic issues are the exclusive concern of US citizens”.

Clinton received over half of the vote (52%) and Green Party candidate Jill Stein secured second place with 19%. Donald Trump came in third place, with 14%, and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson received 7%. Eight percent of voters chose to abstain, indicating that, in their view, none of the four official candidates were “good news for the world”.

“What is clear from commentary around this vote is that Donald Trump is seen by many as a threat to international prosperity and stability,” the Global Vote’s creator Simon Anholt said. Read more





Latino voting surge rattles Trump campaign

'A certain group' appears to be turning out in big numbers in several key states.

Hispanic voters could be poised to deliver a historic rebuke to Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Early-vote statistics from battleground states with large Hispanic populations show record turnout among a bloc that has voted at a lower rate than whites or blacks in past elections. If, as some polls suggest, Hispanic voters are supporting Hillary Clinton by blowout margins, these numbers could sink Trump in a handful of states that are essential to his path to 270 electoral votes.

In Nevada, Latino turnout propelled Democrats in Clark County — the population center that's home to Las Vegas — to a record-breaking close on Friday, driving up the Democratic lead in early ballots cast to 72,000. That's enough, according to veteran Nevada political analyst Jon Ralston, to essentially tie a bow on the state for Clinton.

Four years earlier, when President Barack Obama won the state by 7 points, Democrats led Clark County in ballots cast by 71,000 at the end of early voting in 2012. Read more

The american democrazy is a complete joke

The best they can offer is either a serial killer/satan-worshipper/hideous witch or a convicted retarded loudmouth who has six bankruptcies in his track record and still claim he is the god at running business and only good at using other people's money to gamble, hehehe

 

[noksss]

Hillary Clinton is possibly the worst candidate in living memory for the US Presidency. Forgetting the dead US ambassador to Libya, the Arab nations that have been destroyed on her watch, and a whole trail of dead bodies would be unfair.

going to miss @RabzonKhan and @Desert Fox (among others) posting their dueling stories, meme's and other assorted things.

as I'm sure they didn't mean for some of those things to come off a little entertaining (and even sometimes comical) but they did none the less

Today I will walk into the voting booth for main presidential candidates that I have absolutely no desire for.
