The Ameяican Government Thread

In America it doesnt, delegates determine the candidates and electoral college the president. We arent a democracy we are a republic with democratic tendecncies at best.

tea party is the best example of this not being true.

Democratic party is the best example of this being true.

America 2016

Well, it looks like there are more issues than just voter turnout:
-The Leave movement spread a lot of misinformation regarding Britain’s relationship with the EU to make it sound worse
-The “charismatic” figures of the Leave movement (namelt Farage and Johnson) pretty much bailed as soon as the vote was counted

A lot of what was being hyped up about it was either false or taken back within a week. If the full consequences and information were made apparent at the time of the vote, it would have turned out differently.

This is the scrubs refrain. Are you telling me that misinformation is something that doesn’t happen in other political campaigns?

A loss is a loss. The only thing the youth of the UK can do at this point is hold it. The rest of the world should learn the lesson rather than listen to them make excuses for it.

Could be worse. Could be the Australian election, where both parties are equally shit, and we’re looking to have a hung parliament for the second time in a row.

“Leave” was the correct decision. Better to be sovereign and earn your status back than be subject to the rule of unelected foreigners.

UK will still need to abide by many EU regulations regarding trade if they want to conduct business in EU countries, but now they have autonomy in other areas.

But if nobody can get the minimum require electoral votes then the US House will decide who the next president is!!!

And you really trust them? Congress is as much a problem as the executive branch.

I love how people like @raz0r are still going to vote for HIllary even though this has been the most obvious case of corruption since the 1900 election

I’d rather keep dehumanizing, inciting, know-nothing asshole out of office.

That worked out well for us circa. 01-09, didn’t it. :chainsaw:

James Comey is a known Republican. Either some of his colleagues told him not to press charges or Hillary and the Democratic party has him by the balls. :looney:

LOFL

so corruption is somehow better, this dude

How would Trump be better?

Again. With the trump assumption.

But let’s play a game. They are both liars and both pander, and crooked, but at least one tells the truth even when he lies. That’s one quality he has over the bitch. And that counts for more than all the shit that you can count against him, specifically the torture part.

How do you know he speaks truths? A lot of the shit he says has been fact-checked and shown to be wrong.

.

Why not neither of them?

All politicians fucking lie, that’s a fact. But at least he’s honest about the shit he lies about.

Sees Spanish speaking illegals, wall!
Sees sand people, monitor them!
Information, torture!
Foreign policy, military spending amd America!
Jobs, fuck them chinks amd beakers and syrup faggots up north!
Who has the beat words, I do!
I have a problem with you, insults!

He’s fucking lying his facts he’s more honest about what he will do even if he’s lying about those facts.

Vs hillary

I don’t like Putin, except when he gives me money and you don’t hear behind closed doors
Marriage, it’s wrong, except when I’m calling myself a progressive
Wages, matter only when they don’t affect my shareholder stocks of a multi billion
Global warming, matters only when I’m not running for office
Wage gap, matters everywhere but not that time I didn’t own stock in walmart
To big to fail, nonsense except when they pay me speaker fees
Treason, snowmen is, except me when blacklisted countries donate to my foundation
Human Rights, only matter when you don’t donate to my foundation
Jobs, matter only when they it gets in the way of kickbacks from walmart
Progressive, I’m that but only because it’s so 2016 to say so

Wait, are you for or against Hillary? This statement could apply to both of them.

that’s what makes nearly all attacks on Trump hillariously stupid.

Trump is a sellout.

Because the US has a rigged election system. Hillary is going to be the next president. We don’t have a choice. Sigh.
