Elections 2016 Presidential Election General Discussion v3

[Sycho Sid]

Life will go on.

I will obviously be worried, but I can could only hope that all of my fears were wrong, or that things do not get too bad.

 

[Harmonica]

It'd be tempting to just laugh at Americans being Americans and write it off as the leadership they deserve... except, despite what Trump's campaign and supporters suggest, the US doesn't actually exist in it's own separate reality.

Funny, I am of the opinion that no matter who gets elected, it will be the rest of the world that won't get affected that much.

 

[TheComebackKid]

If Trump wins...

If Hillary wins

Wrong on that one.

Look at Libya and Honduras as quick examples of the devastation Hurricane Hillary leaves behind.

 

[LatFlare]

Either way you cunts are fucked. It's a sad indictment of the US that out of 300million ppl the best 2 you can find to fight it out to lead are a caricature of capitalism and a corrupt liar whose view of the world has most certainly been shaped by 2 decades of her husband cheating on her.

 

[Ruprecht]

Funny, I am of the opinion that no matter who gets elected, it will be the rest of the world that won't get affected that much.

If even one of the stupidities that has escaped Trumps yap about NATO and US treaties isn't just him being a bloviating wind-bag, it'd certainly have a major effect.
Even if he was just a complete dud, the lack of political leadership from the US would still have substantial effect.
On the other hand, Clinton is extremely aggressive in any situation potentially involving US intervention, has ambiguously flip-flopped on economic integration and hasn't shown any real leadership on environmental issues.
Pick your poison. At least Clinton is a known quantity.

 

[Starman]

Likewise if Hillary wins?

Just wondering how invested people are in this thing, and how they will take it if the "wrong person" wins?

Not great, but better than if Hillary had won.

 

[TheCatInTheHat]

If Trump wins I'd feel hopeful that the US will stop antagonizing Russia.

If Hillary wins I'd see it as business as usual.

 

[EGarrett]

And this is why the left is irrational and unable to be reasoned with.

*shrugs*

I feel your pain. There are many issues of course where most right-wingers are just as irrational too. Though I imagine you agree.

 

[7437]

I would invest in foreign currency.

 

[Bloodworth]

Send in the riot police anytime people protest and damage property. Spank em

 

[Hans Gruber]

Dude taken down by security on Fox for wearing Bill Clinton rape shirt



Is the newscaster on the far right Sonnen's chubby brother?

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Trump has done a masterful job of not being an idiot for two weeks now. I did not think that would happen, but he's listening to the people around him.

That was over fast

Tucker Carlson? dude is a right wing shill and a dipshit.

Famed anthropologist Jane Goodall says Donald Trump’s approach to political debates is similar to chimpanzees performing dominance rituals.

“In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” Goodall told The Atlantic.

“In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.”

Goodall compared the GOP presidential nominee specifically to a chimp she wrote about in “My Life With the Chimpanzees” named Mike.

She's an honored and respected idiot.

ITT a clown suggests a candidate that supports the unconstitutional practice of "stop and frisk" is the better choice to protect rights and freedoms. Fucktard alert.

I'd say Trump is smart enough to know when to listen to his advisers when it comes to matters he knows nothing about.

 

[Butterbean]

America, fuck yeah!

 

[Fluffernutter]

Um, on November 9th, Obama will still be president.

The electoral college doesn't meet until December.

Swearing in is not until January.
