The Ameяican Government Thread

FBI recommends no charges against Clinton.

The USA is now officially one of the most corrupt nations in the world.

“Now”, he says.

Lel.

I’m laughing because even after this the USA is still not as corrupt as probably 92% of the countries to exist now and to have ever had existed.

This is pretty low tier corruption but it shows where America’s principles lie.

Yep. Aligns with every other country and their political elites.

The fact charges weren’t even recommend after obvious breaking of federal law is saddening, shameful and sets a terrible precedent for the future.

We literally had the head of the FBI say: “Anybody else would have been tried for this but not Hillary”.

It reeks of corruption and being above the law.

…and before any numbnut says anything, IDGAF who Clinton is and what party she runs for. I work in an area that requires security clearances and I would be facing jail time if I pulled what she did.

But you didn’t do your time

I did my time -Hillary 2016

I can’t understand idiots that think this is something to gloat over. It’s seriously fucked up. America is corrupt to the core and it looks like things will have to get a lot worse for Americans before things turn around, if ever.

Again, I continue to advocate 3rd party voting. If you vote for Hillary because she isn’t Trump, or Trump because he isn’t Hillary, you’re telling the parties that you will vote in utter crap as long as they’re “less worse” than the other party’s nominee. Primaries are going to be a lot more overtly rigged to prevent Sanders or Trump type situations from happening, and nominees won’t even try to campaign on issues when name recognition, mud slinging, and superficial shit become the most important parts of an election. Worse yet, the media is going to perpetuate this shit because it’s easy ratings, so once we start down this path we aren’t going to turn back any time soon.

I understand the idea of taking a lesser evil, but at a certain point we have to put our foot down and ditch a system that has no interest in working.

From George Washington’s farewell address: “However political parties may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

Political parties in America have to go. As a concept.

true dat. douchebags gonna douche regardless of political orientation. however; thought-out but politically incorrect opinions > hurt feelings

d0ublepost tr0ublepost

this is the kind of goofy shit i’m talking about.

I refuse to let either of the main two get my vote. Fuck this election.

I swear - if this “election” doesn’t clue even the stupidest Red, White, & Blue mouthbreathing motherfucker in that the U.S. system of governance has been completely destroyed and supplanted, NOTHING will.

Nobody will learn. Not learning from past mistakes IS the American Way I think.

If Americans learned from history, they wouldn’t be American.

Everyone on SRK should vote for the Libertarian presidential candidate November 2016

That way, no matter who wins in November, SRK will be trending on the NSA watchlist.

Honestly your vote doesn’t matter anyway, people are just now catching on. It is all pomp and circumstance.

This fucking attitude is how “Leave” ended up winning in the UK. Even though youths overwhelmingly wanted to Remain, the youth turn out of 40% was squelched by the elderly turn out of 75%. Now the youth are crying about wanting a revote, but the truth is they screwed themselves over by not turning out in the first place.

Your vote matters, especially if you can organise yourselves into a voting bloc. That’s all that democracy is- find your numbers and make yourselves matter.
