Sounds like someone who will suffer few or no personal consequences if Trump is elected. I'm sure America's substantial immigrant population agree that a couple terms of Trump is just what the dumbass electorate needs to get in shape.

Grow up or stop posting.

Excuse me? I'd be right hosed if Trump gets elected. Like half my family could get deported hosed. gently caress you and gently caress off with that poo poo.

I don't control the electorate. Hillary's presently winning, so clearly she's doing something right. I don't know what more you expect her to do when half the electorate and the media is dead set against her. She's not a bad candidate, people are just stupid fucks, and if they want to vote fascism in against our best efforts, you either admit defeat or you start questioning democracy itself.

Yeah there is no way trump is only 235 pounds being that he is a pretty hefty dude at like 6'2".

Yeah he's probably 260-270 easily with that pear shape he's got going on. I used to be about 275 at 6'3" and he seems about as tubby.

I mean, that's kind of irrelevant. If the electorate honestly isn't loving smart enough to understand that Hillary is the better bet than the cheeto fascist, or really any Republican, then gently caress 'em. Let some other country run the show for awhile, because American voters would clearly be incapable of handling that responsibility.

Like seriously this isn't hard. There's no truth is in the middle and the perceptions or conspiracy theories surrounding Hillary are stupid and irrelevant. If people are too stupid to realize that then they get what they vote for, and maybe a few Trumps later they'll learn their lesson. In the meantime, we have someone who is qualified and capable, and that's what matters.

They won't learn anything because Trump, like all Republicans, always has someone else they can blame and will get validation for the sake of "balance" by the media. He'll blame liberals, RINOs, the media, immigrants, Muslims, black people, young people, Mexicans, Obama, Hillary, basically everyone but himself and those who bow before his whims. His supporters will cling to him even harder since he represents their big chance to "take back" the nation and remain dominant despite changing demographics making old white people less relevant.

I don't disagree. I also don't know what you want to do about it other than overhauling the entire political and education system. Which I don't disagree with either, but which is also completely impossible.

I just detest this notion that Hillary is a bad candidate.

Republican: Hillary bad!

Voter: hm, you don't say.

Hillary: I'm not bad.

Voter: I'm not sure I believe you.

Republican: Hillary bad!

Voter: yep, checks out! :downs:

People bitch about secrecy and bad decisions on Hillary's part, but she's generally more transparent than her peers and does mostly the same basic poo poo as her peers. It only matters so much to people because they really want to believe she's bad. She clearly tries to dispel these notions, but what are you going to do about 30 years of bullshit scaremongering?

Hillary was the most qualified candidate running. Somebody better may exist, but they didn't run. Bernie ran, but he wasn't better. I liked Bernie, but he would've gotten smashed in a general. So we're left with Hillary, who by any reasonable metric is a good candidate running on a good platform. If people are so eager to believe lies and conspiracies they'll ignore that and any attempts on our parts to change their minds, how can we fix that? What do we do different?

Not only would Sanders lose to Trump, it also would've gotten loving Bloomberg involved in the election.

Short of Joe Biden running, HRC was the best candidate possible. She's also extremely bad at campaigning, which is her fault. She's also extremely hated for being HRC, which is not her fault.

But all this "if only they'd nominated Bernie" is nonsense.

See also: why the NYT and others are dumpster fires in their reporting on her 'trust issue'.

NYT: The Clinton Foundation looks shady!

Voter: Oh poo poo it does?

Clinton: I mean, maybe? But it's been investigated many times and nothing has ever come back as bad. In fact a lot of my stuff has been checked out more than the other guy's and nothing has been found.

Voter: Yea but I dunno, you're shady, I don't know if I can trust you.

Making conservatives not trust mass media so that they have their perception of reality molded according to conservative leaders was bad but the way they've handled this election the public is making the correct choice now to be incredibly skeptical of their reporting.

What's extra frustrating is every other day some journalist complaining about people distrusting the media since it's not like we can't see what's in front of our faces and aren't as idiotic as they seem to believe.

Yeah Hillary is right and a lot of the blame for our lovely situation is on the hands of a portion of the American public and pretending that everyone in this country is a good person that is sometimes led astray by rear end in a top hat politicians is patronizing and also ignores a growing problem.
