As someone who’s living in a decently sane part of the world, I immediately recognized the danger in one of these fucknuts actually becoming the president of the U.S.
The absolute worst case scenario would be Ted Cruz, followed by Donald Drumpf. (Hurray… those are the probable ones remaining.) The “best” scenario for the American people as a whole from the GOP “party” has already left the debate, being Rand Paul who is the least stupid.
Ted Cruz is dangerous because of his extremist religious beliefs. He is anti abortion, which means that Cruz believes that women should not have control over their own bodies when it comes to pregnancy, and he’s been working to institute abortion bans in Texas that were **so extreme that they were ruled unconstitutional **and had to be repealed. Not only that, but he even opposes abortion in cases of rape or incest, though he does stop short of using the biblical standard of forcing the victim to marry the rapist. Still, forcing a woman to carry a rapist’s child to term is one of the most extreme views one can have on abortion, one that even staunch anti-abortion activists shy away from. But while his stance on reproductive rights are pretty shaky, it’s not the only social issue he’s extreme on.
His views on immigration are contradictory and hypocritical. For example; Ted Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father. With such background you’d expect that he would be somewhat sympathetic to the plight of immigrants and refugees who come to the United States in search of a better life. However, he opposes any leniency for illegal immigrants whatsoever, including those who were brought over as children with no choice in the matter, but he’s not alone. Hillary Clinton has been found to say the same thing, so she’s no better when it comes to that. He seems to be of the all too common mindset that immigration, even if it isn’t the “illegal” sort, is a negative.
Last point, because this is turning into a too long of a post. He doesn’t believe in climate change, which not only is bad for you Americans, but for the entire world. When electing the most powerful president, you, as a people, have the responsibility to make sure that he takes the PLANET seriously. The planet is nothing to play around with, it is all we’ve got, and it is already way overdue to act FIERCELY on it.
The Paris climate change talk produced small steps toward attacking climate change, but is NOT good enough.
As for Donald Drumpf, someone who’s received support from the Ku Klux Klan (christian far-right racist organization), and David Duke, and who makes his fanatics raise their right hand to pledge to vote… and whose solutions to problems seem to be “I’ll make a good deal, it is gonna be great, you know?”. No, Donald, we do not know. What we know is that apparently, in Drumpf’s sick and mentally retarded head, climate change is made up… by the Chinese. I can’t… I just cannot believe that anyone can be so stupid to believe such a thing.
Americans, you have to make sure to elect the president who will fight not only for YOUR issues, but for the people of the PLANET’s issues. Luckily, there is a candidate who is impossible to buy, and who has NO superPACs, who has a CONSISTENT 40-year record of fighting against the rich, and for civil/equal/LGBTQ rights, and who speaks honestly. That person is NOT a Democrat but is running as one due to the insane 2-party system the U.S have, but he IS an Independent whom is really dangerous for corporate America, the rich, wall street, the banks, and is just overall an absolutely wonderful and likable person. Bernard “Bernie” Sanders, Independent Senator from Vermont. Get out and vote.
