Election Thread 2016

[Joust Williams]

see, this is trash:

"Another telling detail: Clinton won handily among the voters who said the quality they wanted most in a candidate was “electability.” Her advantage among that group was 81 percent to 18 percent. But Sanders dominated in the group that said the most important quality was that the candidate “cares,” and in the group that said it was most important that the candidate was honest. In the group that cared about honesty, Sanders won by 92 percent to 6 percent, according to CNN."

They really are riding that electability nonsense all the way arn't they.

I'm going to be fucking disgusted if we elect Hilary because it "seemed sensable"

Bernie is a trash can / elect the possible.

Don't cry to me when we elect Actual Hitler when Herr Sanders fucks everything up.

[Josh]

We'd never do that. This is America.

[Doc Holliday]

Trump is bad news.

[Melf]

That can't be a real ad. Haha. Ted Cruz is not that clever.

[Calliander]

That is brilliant and bold.

Been trying to wrap my head around the concept of democratic socialism (social democracy) and thought this was a good read. If anyone finds anything better, don't be afraid to share. The political/economic system we have today is absolutely broken and needs to be fixed. If Scandanavian countries are consistently rated among the happiest in the world, and are socially democratic societies, then maybe it's not such a bad thing? Granted their small size affects their rating, but I imagine the policies they have in place are also a big factor.

I'm economically conservative but even I'm at the point of too many cakes, time for veggies.

People are parroting that line everywhere online without even realizing they're eating up a talking point.
