Simplistic rationale for a complex subject

[SoulReaver]

Why do you think Trump is so popular?

People on the right are fed up with the Republican party and want change.

and it's their faith in him that makes them even funnier than the others
so as I said:

sucks for the state of american politics doesn't it

tbh I actually almost wish for him to be elected just for the immense pleasure it'd be to see his electors wake up to the inevitable nightmare hehe...

so basically one party finds things that don't exist & the other party doesn't find things that do exist

Not quite
One needs someone to -actually- commit a criminal offence (Email) to "prove" something, the other merely requires lying directly to the people, driving your economy into the dirt and wasting the lives of the brave men and women of a countries military for non-existent reasons.
Clinton should not have done what she did, but it was nothing on the level of what Dubya did.

and between those 2 parties, the very existent People with very existing problems & for whom neither party seems to give a **** nowadays

Giving a smeg about the people is not the concern of the parties, it never has been. Their concern is to get in power and stay in power.

lol

It's not just American politics that is in a sorry state.

Don't tell me that guy's got car lots where you are too!

You cannot raise another person, they must raise themselves. If the person you're trying to raise isn't working to raise themselves, you can do whatever you want, but the instant you let go of them, they will fall back to whatever level they wish to be at themselves.

1: You are speaking financially, I am talking socially, they are not the same thing.
2: They are trying to raise themselves, but they have people complaining about it at every turn because it threatens their narrow, self important worldview. (that's the people complaining, if that's not clear enough for you.

And I wasn't saying that you felt any guilt or some such. But I am saying that the entire idea behind the white privilege meme is to cause people whose self-identity is not yet fully developed (The young, mostly, why do you think this gets such good traction in schools?) to feel guilt, shame or something akin to that simply for being what they are.

You mean like boys play with "action figures", wear blue, have to take care of the weak "wimminfolk", have to be the provider to have any kind of self worth or dignity, and if they deviate from that norm they are "psychologically disturbed"?
Yeah, sucks when people do that to kids..............

That guy has car lots everywhere

And here's some real surprising news:

State Department says it can't find emails from Clinton IT specialist

IT specialists hey? Meh... Must be the work experience kids.

all the same I don't like nor trust her she's got her husband's name but that's about it

there could've been a real democratic candidate with Sanders but for some reason these imbeciles opted for her instead

if Trump gets elected she'll be the one to blame (she's his best chance at winning lol)

Not according to several polls, she's not. On the contrary, she'll be the reason he can kiss his win goodbye. It might be a close call, but Trump will get squashed when he has to go up against HRC.

all the same votes for her will be mostly votes against Trump not a token of trust. best case scenario the US will end up with a softer & more "polished" version of Trump but that's about it

nb. to pick up on what I said earlier maybe a Trump presidency is what the people need to mature as a society
like electroshock therapy or something, very painful but they'll finally learn their lesson hehe...

Oh, I totally get that.

I don't like her, I don't trust her, but to say she is just "Bill's arm candy", you have been asleep for a good few years. Her one or two stuff ups, no matter how bad are, are based on her, not Bill.

there could've been a real democratic candidate with Sanders but for some reason these imbeciles opted for her instead

Yes, they did. I don't think it was right either, but even the fact that Bernie has gotten so far, and will not give up (and has support not too) shows that the US has the will to change.
I'll take that over Trump and Cruz.

if Trump gets elected she'll be the one to blame (she's his best chance at winning lol)

No, she won't.
Yes, Trump's chance of winning is better against Hillary than Bernie, but they are both beating Trump on either count.

IF he wins however, well, I would say let the hilarity ensue, except, that stuff will be censored, because Trump just can't handle bad press.
Like North Korea really.................

Trump-Jong Un

Doesn't even sound half bad...

[Annoyed]

I wouldn't be so quick to count Trump out. The level of support he has had from the voters on the right has been a surprise to everyone. Nobody, myself included, expected that he would win the Republican nomination, let alone win it by a large enough margin that the RNC is grudgingly accepting that he has won.

Combine that with Hillary's very high negative rating, and it's quite possible that he could beat her. There have been polls recently that show a dead heat in several important states.

Good thing no one has said he looks like an Orangatan yet............
Oh, yes, they have, he sued them, and then backed off when he knew he would loose.
Such a hero.
