Elections 2016 Presidential Election General Discussion v2

[KungFuJones]

If trump wins we all lose.

 

[K1levelgrappler]

I'm shocked he's done as well as he has but I still think he loses fairly big. We live in a pretty liberal country.

Compared to what? Saudi Arabia?

 

[EGarrett]

Liberalism directly and positively corresponds with how educated a country is. This is empirical and has been observed all around the world. Deflect, insult, make shit up about America being the greatest ever or whatever, but that is a fact. The more educated a country is, the more liberal it is.

Education is academic titles, not necessarily thinking ability (great geniuses like Einstein have a tendency to be dropouts or hate schooling). IQ actually is positively correlated with a dislike for government as a whole.

Lmfao @ your source. This is the shit I'm talking about.

P.s. libertarians are the second most intelligent political group, #1 being dems/liberals ;]

There's your source praising the southern flag. It's a random website ran by an old conservative man. And you fancy yourself as intelligent. Top kek.

That page cites multiple other pages. That's why I linked you to it. As IQ requirements go up in groups, a tendency to hate government as a whole, and thus be certainly NOT liberal (and on many issues not conservative either) also goes up. They're positively correlated.

I don't think you should judge or support your point of view by trying to claim that you're the smartest though. Smart and educated people can and have been wrong about a lot of things.

 

[Higus]

Win or lose, he's probably the only person who's gonna come out of this election better off than when he started. That includes the GOP, the democrats, Hillary, and the voters.

You don't think American society is leaning pretty far to the left right now?

 

[JonnyRingo84]

his book sales will be amazing.

im still not convinced that this is the type of thing he was after all along.

as for his revolution....fascism isnt new. hes simply the first to pander to fascists in a long time. they arent used to it.

 

[TheStruggle]

For the first time in this campaign Trump is truly on the offensive and the race has become a toss up. But Trump needs more death blows in these last few weeks if he is going to win.

 

[n...not crazy]

The more educated a country is, the more liberal it is.

Random rant:

It's a shame that those with dumb ass degrees are somehow considered "educated" when they couldn't build a fucking dog house if their life depended on it.
Gender studies
French
Music
Drama
Social Welfare
Theater
Afro American Studies
Scandinavian Studies

Meanwhile the people in Biomedical Engineering who about died getting their degree. Well... they don't end up working at a bong store. But their education is considered equal to the Dance major. 1 for 1.

Liberals support Corporate Facism as long as it supports a LGBT agenda, fuck outta here

 

[Seano]

Only thing he started is to show how dumb we are as a people, how we are still racist twats, and how professional con men can swindle an entire voting base.

Impressive and terrifying at the same time.

So... nothing new then?

lol @ dems being #1.


The Democrats are openly laughing at our via e-mails and you STILL support them.

 

[K1levelgrappler]

You don't think American society is leaning pretty far to the left right now?

Again, compared to what? Can you think of any developed countries that are further to the right than the US?

 

[JonnyRingo84]

and how would you define "corporate fascism?"

Says the guy who was previously banned for being a racist twat.

maybe in some areas of the country.

in most of europe, clinton would be viewed as a right wing freak. that puts things in perspective, i think. in general id wager that liberals think the country is spiraling down into some fascist nightmare, and conservatives perceive the opposite.

 

[Seano]

Again, compared to what? Can you think of any developed countries that are further to the right than the US?

I'm not comparing it to anything. Why is a comparison necessary? I think as a society, we've been leaning further to the left than the right over the past decade. Probably a little too far.

 

[TheComebackKid]

Literally every single candidate for president promises to improve America. Why do you people think that is unique to Trump? It's not. When has a candidate ever said they would keep America the same, or make America worse? How is saying you'll 'make america great again' a revolution?

Have you been asleep the past year? Its the positions he takes and problems he highlights are 100% unique to his candidancy. That is why people are more hopeful when he says make america great again as opposed to someone like Bill Clinton.

 

[Cuauhtemoc]

Again, compared to what? Can you think of any developed countries that are further to the right than the US?

It depends on what you call right or left. In many social aspects, you have switzerland, japan and other asian countries. In these countries they really don't like immigrants which is Trump my point btw.

In economics there are other countries with lower taxes.

In Europe you have a much stronger nationalist right. FN in France is the most well known but you also have AfD in Germany, PVV in the netherlands and so on.

The only right wing position the US is ahead is religiosity but it has been decreasing.
