The Ameяican Government Thread

What? No seriously, what? How is a blatant sociopath who panders constantly “less monstrous”?

Because she’s an effective politician. You may hate how she does her job but she gets it done, for better or worse. She shits on black people from time to time but I’m not black so I have nothing to lose with her.

trump’s an effective politican as well. He knows how to channel people’s wants and do something with it to get shit done. He single handeldy shoved a giant dildo up the republican party’s ass when the combined might of the democrats couldn’t phase them for over 15 years

there’s a really fucked up cognitive dissonance where you think Hillary is better over some issue that trump is just as good at.

If Raz0r really is a journalist, he’s gonna be shilling for her all the way till November. Gotta believe that you’re doing the marginally right thing to get some sleep at night.

I’m a liberal that registers as an independent. I like to tell people I’m an independent because I am, technically. I’ll spend the next few months trying to convince my peers to begrudgingly cast their vote for Clinton, because good heavens, look at the alternative!

Isnt Saudi Arabia a big donator to the Clinton Foundation?
Wouldnt you think that Hillary would stop any and all energy infrastructure in America to make you dependent on their oil?
Putin is talking about the potential of WW3 and Trump is the candidate LESS likely to go to war.

Yet you think Hillary is less monstrous and willing to pander to fear.
Remember when Bill Clinton would sex up those chicks when he was the president and Hillary would HELP him to do it or shut them up.
Hell you even compare Hillary to Bush and still say she is a better option.

Anyways, Bernie Sanders supporting Hillary.
Man it sucks to be a Bernie supporter. Getting con out of your money and being back stabbed.

LOL Hillary put up another attack ad on Bernie 'by accident’
I guess she’s going Trump on him and doesn’t want that endorsement anymore.

I’ve been on reddit and the salt over Bernie is REAL. Forget what the polls are saying, 80% or more these dudes are voting anything other than Crooked Hillary. I see a lot of “Jill Stein,” “Never Hillary” and “voting Trump, F* the establishment.” The democrats pissed off Bernocrats far beyond what is acceptable. Supposedly Bernie endorsing Hillary Tuesday and they are bracing for more salt. A lot of these guys paid massive donations and volunteered and they are going to feel BETRAYED.

Why won’t Bernie run 3rd Party?

It seems not only sensible, at this point, but morally and ethically obligatory.

Spoiler alert

Politicians who talk a good moral and ethics game are rarely the most moral or ethical. (Disclaimer: I mean this as a general statement. Haven’t followed Sanders closely enough to get a read on him).

He’d have to be Satan incarnate for that to matter, at this juncture.

You do realise that it makes no sense strategically, right? It just splits the Democrat vote and gives Trump the victory.

Bernie gets the 3rd party votes, he gets the majority of Dems, and he gets no small number of Pugs who wouldn’t vote for him as a Nemesis candidate, but would drop Trump like the radioactively hot sweet potato that he is.

There’s no way that Sanders prises the older Dems and black vote from Hillary’s cold skeletal hands.

Meanwhile the Dump Trump faction hates Trump because he, and I know you will find this hard to believe but trust me as someone who regularly scours the gamut of conservative media, isn’t Conservative enough. There is no way they will vote Sanders. They are much more likely to vote Clinton than Sanders.

he’s a cuck. he could have won this from the very start presidential debate 2…

no, that dumb ass says, emails aren’t a problem that nobody cares about.

the people on the right not voting for trump won’t vote for sanders because sanders wants to expand taxes. He isn’t getting votes from republicans with his pro heavy taxes for everybody platform

If anything sanders runing 3rd party means johnson has a better chance at winning the election.

Lynch testifying.

Everyone would benefit if these politicians ran third party. Everyone should push for 3rd party Bernie and possible third party Cruz. Splitting the vote as much as possible is the only thing we can do now to not confirm the worst possible person to win.

I’m not convinced that having a third party, or even multiple parties is really going to be a solution to any problems. Take Australia for example, someone from the “Motor Enthusiast Party” won a seat in Parliament, what is to stop something similar from happening here?

The difference is that we’re a winner-take-all government. We don’t have a parliament where we spread out power so everyone can have a say. Still, with a parliament’s flaws it’s still much more preferred than “51% takes it” style of government, which is inherently flawed.
