The Ameяican Government Thread

Man, Trump literally got his black female proxy to make an ad saying he’s not racist and sexist.

This is just as cringeworthy as the point morons try to make such as “I’m not racist! I voted for Obama!” or “I have 1 black friend!”

Wait what? Voting for president is a pretty big deal, man. Getting Obama into the white house was one of the big fights to end racism in America back in 2008.

A progressive racist would have voted for Hillary over Obama in the primaries, and would only hate-vote for Obama out of spite for McCain and the GOP. But that doesn’t hold because McCain was pretty much a centrist authoritarian just like the hawkish Clinton.

Or are you talking about the “benevolent racists” who voted for Obama out of white guilt instead of looking at him as a qualified competent candidate over his opponents?

Or the people who felt pressured to vote for Obama because they didn’t want to be called racist?

None of those makes sense to me.

I guess if you read Trump’s statements at face value and ignore the dog-whistle language coding than there’s nothing racist/sexist at all about what he’s said.

So, which glass do I break in case of a Trump presidency?

Mr. Hillary already broke the Glass[details=Spoiler]-Steagall[/details].

Trump can’t really do worse than that.

<<<Not a Trumpetteer. <sic>

Hillary has this in the bag.

Along with a few dead cats, some chicken blood, an eye of newt, whatever might be left of federal transparency, and Trump’s real hair (albeit singular).

Just going to leave the Libertarian debate for interested parties:

American voting system means voting third party is essentially voting against the candidate you would prefer when your candidate inevitably loses.

awwwwww yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhh!

Leading by example: the Clinton foundation pays women executives 38% less than men so Hillary can fight against the gender pay gap in her campaign rallies.

Every major news network says Paul Ryan is Trumped.

But The Guardian says Ryan is just faking it.

This is, to be quite honest, utter bullshit spouted by media and political pundits to protect the 2-Party system. If people don’t like Democrats or Republicans, they absolutely should vote for an Independent or third party. If the Libertarians, Green Party, or some Independent gets a sizable portion of the vote, the parties will have to either grudgingly integrate the movement into their platforms or risk losing their chokehold on the political system. This isn’t about picking a winner; poll numbers should never influence your opinion of a candidate’s platform or history. This is about making it very clear that the “preferred” candidate isn’t all that preferred, and the people will not be spoon-fed leaders and opinions.

With Trump as the nominee, the position of third parties and Independents will depend on the outcome of the Democratic primary. If Clinton wins, Sanders’ supporters aren’t going to disappear and aren’t going to flock to her just because she’s a Democrat; they’re going to look for people who will keep fighting for campaign finance, education, and health care reforms without being in the pockets of those institutions. Should Sanders pull through after all, the establishment will frantically find some drone to fill the seat for four years while the parties do some soul-searching. Either way, Libertarians aren’t happy with the choices and are going to get a hell of a lot more vocal. General Election will likely be a mess unless someone who isn’t so damn polarizing shows up and starts getting votes.

If you are so damn concerned about picking someone who will at least be on the ballot, the Libertarian and Green parties are the largest third parties right now and stand to siphon off disenfranchised voters who feel their “expected” party doesn’t work anymore.

Watched some excerpts from the Green Party’s debate. I like that they’re genuine, but god damn they come off as weak. On a debate stage without a live audience, surrounded by people who basically agree with them, they’re already fumbling. Their ideas come off as a bit too bleeding-heart liberal, even by my standards. The “white flags and hugboxes” approach to foreign policy isn’t very realistic, and their platform comes across as underdeveloped outside of fighting climate change.

I’ll follow them a bit longer to see if they manage to grow a spine, but I’m probably going to wind up voting Libertarian if Clinton takes the nomination.

I see people continue to spread misinformation to bash Trump.

Please learn the difference between the words legal and illegal.

Want to come to the US? Do it legally. Trump is right on this and most Americans agree.

LOL most Americans do NOT agree with Trump. He’s going to fail so hard in the general election.

Illegal immigrants are the scapegoat of dummies. They have a net beneficial effect on the American economy, so why again do we want them rounded up and shipped out?

Shouldve stomped that tranny into the dirt. Fuck you doing spittin on people. Thats fucking disrespectful, and disgusting as fuck. Dirty motherfucker.

White people, get your white people. lol. Walking around with their faces covered up like they at war, spitting on people, and saying theyre trannys. LOL
