Regardless of who gets the democratic nomination (Hillary could still be denied the spot because of the email scandal), if Trump gets the GOP nomination then the debates will be pretty damn entertaining.
I mean, can anyone here even imagine a one-on-one debate between Sanders and Trump?
I am going to be on the November ballot no matter what! Either I win the GOP nomination, or I run as a third party after the GOP runs a brokered convention to deny me my victory!
I'm sorry I can't say things like this succinctly; I wish I could. Trying one more time:
I clearly don't deserve the confidence I had that the parties amount to being two sides of one rabid attention hog and led mostly by people without good intentions. I am probably at least partially off-base about that, but I still doubt the notion that the Republican Party alone is the reason for all or most of the real issues with the U.S., and I think insulting the opposition is generally a display of really bad judgement (although it's easy to do when you're feeling heated, at least for me) and doesn't help anything.
...I'll probably stop around now, finally. But why does everyone think Trump is getting elected? I clearly missed something essential here.
Glad to hear I wasn't the lone loon under the impression that the democratic party shouldn't have a clean conscience either. I don't think being clever about lying is a good thing; the fact that both parties attempt to give false information to the general public to skew the majority consensus in and of itself seems pretty horrible and totally antithetical to the premise of power in the U.S. supposedly being decided by the majority.
I've been alive for 2, of which I was younger during 1, but I don't think I've heard the praises sung of a single recent president post-election by anyone I've spoken to until Orly about Obama just now.
Like, I didn't dislike Obama until later. At this point I am under the impression that he either began or expanded/continued the *shiver* kill list. There's the Edward Snowden Case, too. I don't know, I just don't have much respect for the state of U.S. politics and I think it's counterproductive to spew insults at either faction when both are so disturbingly amoral and the loud voices on both sides are so untrustworthy. Besides that, I think feeling attacked and having such a negative impression of their opposition makes most people way less likely to try to consider the other side of any coin, so if the Democratic Party actually can fix some things about this country, insulting around half(?) the U.S. (and pretty much your entire opposition, practically speaking) seems like a poor way to go about anything.
The fact that it is basically one-or-the-other and both sides lie, connive, and treat each other with such utter vitriol, whilst also keeping any third opinion from being heard (AFAIK) doesn't give me hope for the the worst things about this country and government miraculously being fixed/averted.
