Trump vs. Bernie: Debate for America

This is a great piece of satire, highly recommend watching. It's on point and funny.

Others have said similar things, but it really does appear that the popular culture of the country has moved to a strange sort of self-consumption. A wild twisting Ouroboros of irony, anger and fear.

The irony parts strike me particularly in this piece, here is a presumably intelligent, urbane audience enthusiastically applauding Trump more than Bernie. Yes, it's comedy. Yes, it's satire. But even intelligent people love Trump for his entertainment value. And who are we to say that the anger and cognitive dissonance spread throughout America doesn't play on Trump supporters in a similar, less sophisticated way. In fact, it is a slightly more honest and direct form of irony. But the joke is on the political class and the whole country. Trump gets support because things are so far gone that a whacked out caricature of bumbling powerful rich men is more appealing than someone telling it straight and like it is (Bernie). Trump is the clown, the collective residual image of what people see is wrong with the country and what they love, even if they don't realize it. Somehow Trump supporters have convinced themselves that a cartoon version of the kind of people that has caused problems is the one to go and solve them. He is a cathartic figure who represents the anger, fear, and aspirations of his supporters. God help us all.

it is kind of harsh saying that the op should die choking on his own liquefied lungs in a room full of poison gas. i mean, we were all thinking it and i personally agree 100% that it should happen, but you shouldn't come right out and say it.

I would love to have Bernie and Trump debate. And not even to acknowledge Shillary beyond being a special snowflake that laws do not pertain to. Better yet, not invite Hillary and yet every question would pertain to her.

any rational person regardless of who they are planning to vote for can see this election system and this particular cycle are hilariously hosed up

and people wonder why voter turnout is so low

if i even bother to vote i'm just going to write in 'NO CONFIDENCE IN FUCKMEN' and then vote the D downticket

Since Hillary was shamefully overlooked in the op (because she's a woman?) here's some hilarious hilldog satire http://www.theonion.com/article/female-presidential-candidate-who-was-united-state-52367
