US Election Thread 2016

[Red Phoenix]

No, not 'probably'. Not at all anything you were blabbing on about.

 

No, not 'blabbing', either then.

 

Well, maybe you should start?

Start what? You said this thread feels like children playing chess, well it looks like psychos are playing chess too. The difference is that we're talking in a thread, but the fucking govcorp psychos are out there destroying millions of lives as they play the great game or whatever other scheme they see it as now. What makes them so much better? Being experienced in not giving a fuck about most of us?

 

What do you want me to start? Do you want me to explain the link between psychopaths and 7 destroyed and/or bombed countries or something? Because you've got to be fucking joking if so.

You're not the most perceptive fellow, are you. Read my comment in relation to yours.

Yeah I read your comment, still not sure. So can you explain please? Or are you just going to carry on being condescending?

A comment from the Intercept article linked a few posts back up :

 

Einstein’s definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results” – that is how I see voting for either Democrats or Republicans with all of their promises for “change” that never really come true meanwhile bankers can nearly bring down the world economy and never spend a single night in jail. Add in the constant warmongering to invade this nation or that nation for whatever reasons – red scares, right to protect, terrorism etc. and it is clear that there is not really so much of a difference between these parties who put geopolitical and economic interests above people.

 

I truly do hope that Bernie supporters do not get pulled into the lesser of two evils argument but instead vote for whom really shares their values because I really don’t see a lesser evil in this election especially. I think Hillary Clinton is a criminal (Libya, Honduras, e-mails – Teflon Don) and Donald Trump is at the very least a bigot (if not outright racist). Vote your conscience not for a lesser evil because it does not exist.

Like flies around shite, in steps the vainglorious cunt bucket.

The dem convention hashtag isn't trending if any of you need proof of twitter manipulation of trends. It's no conspiracy, just a sad fact at this stage. Something being used this much would definitely trend compared to some of the other apparent trends with nowhere near as much activity : https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23DemsInPhilly&src=typd

 

Maybe they don't want as much of the world to see so many Bernie supporters cause a scene later. It's not even trending in America, nevermind worldwide, which is just completely wrong.

 

edit : it might "reappear" at some stage if they allow it, it hasn't been trending for a good while though.

 

Ah and the roll call vote is expected to start soon. A link if anyone wants one (not streaming yet though) : https://www.c-span.org/video/?412846-1/democratic-national-convention-live-430-pm-et-cspan

[Red Phoenix]

Tulsi Gabbard speaking for Sanders now before the roll call.

 

edit : they had nominating speeches for Bernie and people seconding that, now they're doing the same for Clinton.

[Red Phoenix]

The actual roll call is taking place now, you can see it here : https://www.c-span.org/video/?412846-1/democratic-national-convention-set-nominate-hillary-clinton-president

If you can't read the last few words of your post and tally them with my response, I don't see a way in which I can't be condescending! You're certainly not setting the bar very high.

Ah, cheers. So you split off the end of the sentence, ignored the rest, then wondered how I found it hard to work out what you meant? Not even sure what to say really.

 

The last link to the roll call I posted was hammering my laptop, incase anyone has similar problems :

 

[Jairzinho]

What did Tulsi have to say?

[Red Phoenix]

What did Tulsi have to say?

 

Another great speech, it's here (edit : replaced the first that had sound problems.) :

 

[Jairzinho]

Ta, just watched Bernie's. 

 

It's all a bit depressing really.

[Red Phoenix]

Watching that was depressing, yeah. I thought Bernie supporters would cause a scene but it went smoothly for the dems in the end.

[Red Phoenix]

And so it begins : https://twitter.com/GreenPartyUS/status/758078729318899713

[Jairzinho]

She's right. The Democratic Party has gone.

[Jairzinho]

Tulsi really is great. 

 

Can't believe she's in the same party as Hilary Clinton.

[Red Phoenix]

Had been really looking forward to this, and wanting to see how Jill Stein and the Green Party started getting more attention and support once Bernie's campaign was over. But watching that roll call tonight and thinking of what Bernie has achieved to create something so amazing, well I just feel really bad for him and feel like shit now.

 

Here's to his supporters moving on and making some serious changes in America for the better in the future.

I've decided to stop watching any coverage of the US election.  Instead each time I get the urge I'm just going to read Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail and get drunk.

[Red Phoenix]

Might have to read some Hunter S. Thompson shortly as well, could be a good antidote to some of the shit I've seen recently. He would've had an absolute field day with Clinton and Trump if he was still around and writing.

A wise choice,  I am doing my best to avoid too much news full stop, 

Rant levels have been red-lining since Brexit

[magicrat]

This made me smile

 

[Funkasy]

Now that the leaks show that the democrats have crushed Bernie Sanders campaign, do you expect all the democrats that voted for him will put their vote on Trump. 

Is Hillary anything other then a wallstreet mobster ?
