The Ameяican Government Thread

Well no I dont think Democrats are any better per say…, but lets be honest here, people have a right to be angry at the political stance that the Republican party with Trump at the head have taken.

Its against people. Theres no unity and movement for a more inclusive nation. Thats upsetting for people who long for peace and harmony.

So really, vilifying even the stupidest most ignorant democarat isnt really the same as ridiculing someone who supports the former.

How about not villifying anyone? These are people who are still going to be your countrymen no matter how the election turns out.

Dude. Easier said than done.

I dont think I have to take the high road and want to collectively get together with people who think blacks and browns need to go back to africa, west asia and south america, gays and transgenders dont deserve human rights, and women dont have control over their own bodies.

Its hard to come to a middle ground when you want more for society and people like these exist. Devoid of all logic and reason. This shouldnt be a concept that begs for understanding here. Thats why its frustrating to see people just not GET IT.

It makes me laugh to see how delusional and narcissistic you are. The reason the right is becoming radicalized is due to how the left is already radicalized. People stop trying to have a dialogue with people who constantly berate, insult, and demonize them.

You almost make it seem like a bad thing that rational people want nothing to do with people who support hate speech and discrimination.

Pretty sure that those people also feel that they’re the subject of hate speech and discrimination by guys like you.

One day you’ll understand my words and your mind will be blown.

Meanwhile you’ll stew in your own self righteousness.

The world would be a better place if only everyone was as enlightened as me!

Oh gimme a fckn break here. I dunno what youre on about, my point was perfectly clear, without you grabbing it and twisting it to make your point.

People who spew hate and prejudice dont deserved to be judged and ridiculed for being hateful and prejudice? Ok lol? On what planet?

And the cherry on top is when you are defending people who oppress other people, because the people who disagree with that are “narcissistic and delusional” for issuing immediate social disapproval of that UNACCEPTABLE behavior in civilized society. Yeah ok. Way to try and make a point and turn into a complete and utter hypocrite there, “Enema.”

It has been truly amusing to watch the political left turn into a religious movement. Convert or you’re an ignorant, sinful heretic who brings suffering to others.

*Liberals orthodoxies force fed by liberal media. My worldview is morally superior. Told to empathise with those who do not subscribe to same orthodoxies. Does not compute, does not compute.

SELF RIGHTEOUS MELTDOWN*

But what does any of that have to do with what I said? I’m not getting your point you’re just talking AROUND what I’m saying. It’s just pointless for me to even do this if you’re going to constantly dodge my points just to make your own.

You’re insisting that by disagreeing with a lot of the injustices of American majority that makes one self righteous. What’s more absurd than finding some radical belief amusing? That what it is.

I can’t really meaningfully engage you. Because terms like “prejudice”, “bigot” and “injustice” are loaded with an entire milieu of socio-political meaning. Your very use of the words in the way that you understand them guarantees that you’ll see Trump supporters as nothing more than bottom feeding scum who could not possibly be moral creatures or have fellow feeling.

Yet if you step back for a moment from the moment. You know that cannot be true. Trump supporters are human beings. They think feel and empathise in the same way that you do. But the world view which informs the way that they think feel and empathise is drastically different from yours and imbues their own sense of justice and morality in a different way.

I don’t agree with a lot of things that Trump supporters say or do, but I will not deny their basic humanity and the fact that Trump has become the best engine for their dreams and aspirations based on a sense of justice and morality that one can profoundly disagree with, but cannot deny has its own very human origins and impulses.

Well, these elections have the setup to be a perfect reality show. If it just wasn’t for the fact that either of the nominees are clearly unfit to any sort of position of power, and that I’m genuinely worried about the consequences of either of them being elected, this might even be entertaining.

But hey, if the people of the US only wanted an entertaining election, they’ve sure as fuck got what they wanted.

Sanders vs Trump would’ve been much more entertaining.

Clinton vs Trump is shaping out to be just Clinton leveraging on her chokehold of the mainstream media to smother Trump. Just like she beat Sanders by leveraging on her chokehold over the Democrat machinery.

This election is going to be a complete and utter shellacking.

To the majority of the populace, Hillary is an experienced extension of the status quo, and Trump is a certified dangerous idiot.

Every republican in a tough reelection battle isn’t backing him.

His party is contantly repudiating him.

Also: the simple numbers are impossible.

Hillary has outraised him 5 to 1. His “1” is 90% his money anyway.

Hillary has 17 times the amount of paid staff, spread in every state.

Trump has had 0 ads on the air, Hillary is already putting ads in battlegrounds.

Hillary will have Obama, Biden, Warren, Bill, and soon Sanders campaigning for her.

I think the presidency and senate are sure fire Ls at this point for the GOP. If Hillary wins by 8 points or more, the house is in play too.

The problem for Dems is that this wave is not during a census year so all the congressional maps can be redrawn like the GOP did in 2010.

Man who attempted to grab gun at rally wanted ‘to kill Trump’

Everyone talks about so-and-so getting assassinated. If Obama wasn’t assassinated despite all the backlash against him, no modern president will. Maybe Trump if he wins, by militant Latinos, but that’s a pretty big maybe.

Well, he won over a former Sanders supporter in yours truly. As completely insane as it is, I switch so wildly because I care more about end goals than the means to accomplish them. America needs to decide whether it wants to be free and allow people to succeed, or adopt a Socialist model and uplift the people itself. As of now, we’re stuck with the worst of both options because the very people that gave us Clinton and Trump are among the few who benefit from this.

Latinos ain’t gonna do shit but go cry that illegals are being deported.

I’m suprised you would even consider voting for Johnosn given his platform is

-fuck minimum wage
-fuck obama care
-fuck any and all government aid for education
-fuck any and all regulation, especially the EPA

He is like the anti thesis of Sanders on the issues that matter the most to most sander supporters.

He’s had several attempts on his life.

Trump just fired his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski
