Election thread

But I still think Trump is so over the top that anything ridiculous he tries to pass would be rejected, and his 'advisers' would tell him to tone it down.

All the warmongers in Washington would love Hillary to be made president. Shes just a warmongering yes bitch and the invasion of Libya proved that. Shes still trying to deny the country is in complete and utter dissary because of it.

IDK why they cant just focus on US issues and forget about the rest of the world for the time being.

Like the whole AIPAC thing. No other country has to hold a conference for their presidents for another country. Another win for Bernie in my books for not attending.

Everyone big industry from WallStreet to HighTech have her in their back-pockets...if Bernie doesn't win the country is fuked

lol @ these pussies protesting


- College students left traumatized and terrified by pro Trump chalk markings on pavement


http://cdn.thedailybeast.com/content...549.cached.jpg


Controversy is brewing at Atlanta's Emory University over pro-Donald Trump chalk markings on campus.

After messages like "Trump 2016" and "Vote Trump" were drawn around campus, several dozen students protested outside the university's administration building this week.

They claimed the chalkings made them feel "frustration," "pain" and "fear."

According to University President James W. Wagner, they will review footage from security cameras to identify those who made the chalkings.

Wagner said that if they’re students, they will go through the conduct violation process, while if they are from outside the university, trespassing charges will be filed.

Josh Goodman, a junior at Emory and a member of the college Republicans organization, said that the protesters claimed that merely seeing pro-Trump signs left them "traumatized" and that it was a "violent action" against them.

Goodman said that chalk markings are a common sight on campus, noting that he's observed pro-Bernie Sanders and Black Lives Matter messages.

He explained that he was disappointed to see Wagner speak out and "legitimize" the protesters, instead of standing up for First Amendment rights.

"It's college campuses today," Goodman lamented.

{:( you have to wonder how society sank this low. helicopter parents? abundance of shrinks?

I also wonder how many of these kids held down a summer job before? it's as if nobody has ever told them how to deal with different opinions or setbacks


having a boss breathe down your neck who doesn't care at all about your personal well being is an integral part of your upbringing (I'm not joking either), none of these pussies seem to have ever been told 'no' or 'just because I say so' or 'if you don't like it, leave'




the biggest L is for the university itself on this one. can't believe they are enabling these pussies

You guys do realize that none of this bullshit matters cuz Hillary will easily win the general in November right?

That's just not going to stick.

Republicans are really pitiful. We can't try to act like it's happening on both ends cause it's not. Now it's about who's wife is the biggest slut.

I didn't factor in the Obama, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton Factor, but the dems have the only politicians that are popular across the spectrum, so nvm my thinking Trump can beat Hilary. The real election is between Bernie and Hilary. What I know for sure is Bernie winning the primary will be the cleaner blow up ala Obama v. Romney.

It is pretty pathetic.

- In a video posted on social media of the tense scene, the young fat woman appears to be arguing with someone and appears to shove or punch at the person before the pepper spray was deployed. She appeared to be holding a sign that accuses Trump of supporting white supremacy.

from the same article, heres some more info that you...missed


In video posted on social media of the tense scene, the young woman appears to be arguing with someone and appears to shove or punch at the person before the pepper spray was deployed. She appeared to be holding a sign that accuses Trump of supporting white supremacy, and is standing next to another young woman holding Black Lives Matter sign. Others in the crowd could be heard chanting, “All lives matter.”

“A male in the crowd groped the 15-year-girl; when she pushed him away, another person in the (crowd) sprayed her,” the police department said in a statement. “We are currently looking for two suspects, one for the sexual assault and one for the pepper spray.”

I would hate to see the person who wanted to grope the fat chick, if that really happened. If she punched one of the people first, I don't feel too bad that she got sprayed.

--- Investigators recommend charges against girl at Trump rally


Investigators said Thursday that they're recommending a disorderly conduct charge be filed against a 15-year-old girl who was pepper-sprayed after she punched a man at a rally for Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in Wisconsin.

Video of the altercation shows a crowd of people in a parking lot outside the rally in Janesville on Tuesday. The girl can be seen holding an anti-Trump sign and arguing with a 59-year-old man.

The video shows the man turning away with his hands in the air. Seconds later, the girl punches him in the face. Another man wearing a red Trump hat then pepper-sprayed the girl and disappeared into the crowd.

The girl told police the first man groped her breast. But Chief David Moore told reporters during a news conference Thursday that additional video doesn't show any evidence the man groped her and that 12 out of 13 witnesses said they didn't see him do anything.

They really need to cut the mic off for Clinton at these debates. A total cunt when it comes to sticking to her allotted time slots and listening to the moderators.

Bernie makes a lot of sense. Not sure if he would make it through a term.

all of check two's posts are about women

The dem debate was pretty lame though more 'aggressive' than previous votes. I think Sanders understands how to make things happen more than people are giving him credit. 'the people' (a coalition of your own supporters) is just as strong as a group of companies. Most American politicians win and leave the people at the door as is normal with a republic. Sanders proposes that he'll keep people involved in the process and it will be harder to pass bullshit by if people are engaged and the process is transparent.

Just look at his campaign financing. By getting ppl involved and engaged he has enough campaign money to win a US election without getting (to our knowledge) corporate contributions, something ppl would have said was impossible before him and Ben Carson.

can't remember who said it, but someone was recently saying that he even underestimated the extent that congress is in the hands of companies and it's impossible to fight because it's human nature. Made me realize that government-wise were more 3rd world that we think and are just better at marketing than any other country in the world.

The person was saying that it goes beyond receiving campaign money, that that's a small part of it and there are components to the congress-corporate relationship like getting friends hires, getting friends/supporters company shares, event invitations, air-time on TV, etc etc. Basically campaign funding is a small part of how corporations buy congress.

Well yea that's how it works. You scratch my back I'll scratch yours.

That is indeed human nature I cannot ever see that not being a part of any form of human interaction whether it be politics, corporate, or just everyday life.

People just want to carve out a slice for themselves and their families. That'll never ever ever ever change.


The only way you get a utopian society is through complete mind control. Religion is ridiculously effective at this.

In a democratic and capitalist society, where free thought and individual rights and innovation are held at the highest degree, you will never have control like that. It goes against its nature.

We have a mix of a lot of things depending on where you go in the country, they lean one way or another.

It's all rigged at some point.

racist 'when trump wins' threats at the end is why. it says something about some of his voters

My bad... I didn't get all the way through that.

very, very, very doubtful.
This is the only candidate addressing how sold and and weak to money our country is and has consistently not cared about financial rewards for over 70 years, I don't think he's going to want a new car at 80. Though he's already been on Bill Maher prior to running.

NY is a disappointment but was clearly rigged, though I think Hilary would have still won marginally. I'm even questioning the results in the previous southern states as well.

I was reading something last night about all the donations Hilary has received over the years. Huge oil companies donated millions to her campaign and then she goes and OK's an oil pipeline that they have wanted? US politics is fucked. Irish politics is fucked as well but in a different way. I think Bernie was a little ahead of his time personally, another decade and I think he would have gained a lot more. People seem to be getting more and more sick and tired of money hungry rich elitist cunts like Hilary Clinton who could give a fuck about what the average American wants but instead would like to appease her multi million dollar donators and scumbag warmongering allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Yeah Hilary is exactly what Bernie came to stand against but that 'system' is very strong and like you said Bernie is well ahead of his time. Has been since the 60s, and history consistently proves him right. Even with him standing up to congress to say they should look into the trillions of dollars companies are using to evade taxes in tax havens over 10 years ago. We all knew it was happening but he was the only one that cited it's extent as an extraction of resources from the US.

Today everyone is saying it.
Many americans are also naive to the extent by which foreign actors are a part of this system as well. The seediest of seedy foreign actors at that. They don't know the kickbacks israelis and their companies or qataris saudis and their citizens get just because they own shares in White House Inc. We're all sick of it, that's why Ben Carson, Trump and Bernie all did well with either their own money or small donations, but a Hilary victory means that shit wins because it's also going to take momentum and moral away from the movement against a bought and crippled government for both republicans and democrats.

There are a lot of 'future' issues that Bernie is addressing and the public has received it well, but the people benefiting from it are in the tightest visible collaboration I've personally ever seen though I'm young.

lol my sister says if Hilary gets the nom she's voting Trump. I'm opting out of the election in general cause I don't see a candidate saying anything reasonable outside of Bernie.

Bernie is the candidate, and the democratic party doesn't understand that Bernie voters will never support Hilary. If she believes she can beat Trump with 1/2-1/3 of the democratic party then best of luck.

The level of robbery that happened in NY tells a lot about where we are in our electoral process.

I was really impressed by Bernie not going to AIPAC and instead continuing his campaign. And then his recorded speech he made in a video which is what he would have said was really impressive. He basically attacked Israel for their treatment of Palestinians, their theft of land, denial of basic human rights & apartheid system but at the same time said he was 100% pro Israel. Every US politician usually has to bow to Israel so it was great to hear someone speak his mind.

I think its crazy that during elections, all politicians have to bow down to another country and dictate their love for that country and what they will do for them if elected. The whole thing is preposterous. Plus the fact every Americans tax dollars go to a foreign nation. Why not back into the US economy? WTF. With Hilary this shit will not change.

If anything, I guarantee under Hilary especially if she gets a second election there will be another war / invasion in the middle east. Saudi Arabia want to nuke Yemen to rid the Houtis. Israel has been wanting to go at Lebanon again for some time 'to target the Hezbollah' even though we know they want to target the whole country and also they want to permanently remove the Palestinians from their own land. And both want to at Iran. Since Hilary is basically a cum dumpster for both of the those countries, I wouldn't be surprised if this shit happens.

Seen this on a forum. I heard shit about the NY primary not been fair but I dont have the details or know too much. Is the below true?

--The DNC made the early primaries, which Hillary Clinton was likely to win against any challenger, primaries rather than caucuses, thereby encouraging the perception she had greater popular vote support.

--The DNC rigged the debate schedule making it unlikely another candidate would be able to overcome Clinton's name recognition and her support among professional Democrats.

--The DNC created / maintained a superdelegate process that effectively granted Clinton a 700 delegate lead and also the appearance of inevitability.

--The DNC cooperated through studied passivity in suppressing the vote, as in Arizona.

--The DNC cooperated with the state Democratic party in New York in suppressing the number of new voters who could vote in the NY primary, and the number of Independents who could change their affiliation in time to vote for a candidate other than Clinton.

All these and more benefited Hillary Clinton, and even so she will barely win the nomination.

Oh, that's right, you're journalists. Doubtless you'll get on this some time after November 2016.

dude I'm even suspecting that very out of character invitation from the Pope. Does that even make sense?
