Oh of course no one ever says it, you just imply it.

I find it interesting that when pushed, you retract your insinuation.

I couldn't give a fuck if you doubt her, your opinion is utterly irrelevant to me, but I am going to say something when you play that game, because it needs to be called out.

You know what bothers me about Hillary? The fact that one doesn't dare express doubt about her without some asshole popping up and making idiotic threats.
Do you think I am scared of you?
Will you beat me up?
Oh, you will come on a forum and put words in my mouth... yawn. Ho fuckin' hum.
I will say it again, I don't like either of the two candidates for different reasons, this is not north korea, I can speak against people in power

What a steaming pile. The only "threat" is that if you persist in idiotic behavior say, blaming Hillary for this board, I'm going to point it out.

They're both equally corrupt, but that doesn't mean they're equally bad. in terms of how to run a government, Hillary has the abilities, Trump does not...

Hillary is not "equally" corrupt, she's not corrupt. Donald is corrupt.

Are you just nuts? You fucking sentence makes no sense. Now point it out, you have been placed on ignore.

Does Trump have any real political experience? I know in a documentary about his 757 private jet on Discovery that he held up a flight just so he could watch a political debate, so I knew he was interested in politics, but has he ever held any kind of political office?

The only thing I'm aware of is that he tried for the Reform Party candidacy in the 2000 but dropped out.

No, he's got no political experience, never held office, and has basically waffled back and forth on Party depending on who he thinks could benefit him.

I knew about his Reform Party and dropping out. So, he really has no experience at all. We had a Reform Party once upon a time, from 1987 to 2000, led by Preston 'Refor-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-rme' Manning. It was followed by the Christian Alliance party under the leadership of Stockwell Day. Despite Day's youthful looks, the party failed miserably and merged with the Conservative Party 3 years later. Both parties were too far to the right for Canadians.

 

[Alnitak]

Regrexit.

Fair enough. I've seen both.

 

[NotHardUp1]

I have heard more than a few people dislike both candidates without calling them equal. What I read in this thread by Peeonme wasn't making them equal, only both not his choice.

Ultimately, the email issue doesn't get anywhere except with conservatives who needed a concrete issue to waive about, else looking merely silly.

Those who aren't idealogues can pretty easily see that Trump lacks both experience and disposition to do the job, whereas Clinton lacks nothing despite character questions which are subjective in the main.

Anyone wanting to vote outside the two parties can do so as usual, and taking a stand on some principle or other, but almost all those votes come from the conservative side of the ballot in this atmosphere, and that will insure Trump loses badly.

The GOP just had their golden chance handed to them on a video platter and balked instead of ousting Trump which was entirely do-able. Instead, because of their cowardice in actually standing for their supposedly precious principles and family values, they sold out to their own malice. As payment, their candidate is now completely out of control and shredding what is left of the appearance of a party.

 

[Kabluey]

They sold out to populism long ago.
When populism took over completely, they didn't quite seem to know whether to reject it or embrace it.

Maybe it will encourage conservative politicians to drive a more rational line, in terms of policy and politics, but who knows. The polarisation of politics seems to have originated on the right.

 

[NotHardUp1]

Well put. I'm not sure it matters where the polarization began. It has spread and is increasing. I fear for our country in the aftermath of this election.

 

[kallipolis]

^I believe that all political polarisation adds lustre to the debate now taking place across the United States, teaching us that freedom of speech is an essential ingredient in the development of the democratic ideal enabling the human person to benefit by ensuring that all potential political leaders are subject to the greatest scrutiny by their respective electorates.

Today the press has the announced the death of one of Western democracy's great commentators, whose artistic response to corruption, and incompetence in Italian politics has contributed enormously to the growth of questioning those who presume to lead us.

“Scandals are the fertilizer of Western democracy.”~ Dario Fo

 

[rareboy]

^ It effectively began with the civil rights act which led to Nixon's 'Southern Strategy', which culminated in the deal with the devil made with the evangelicals. At each stage, the strategists used wedge issues to divide the nation in order to clearly define an electoral base. Karl Rove essentially perfected the approach....but also sowed the seeds for the Tea Party rebellion and the takeover of the Republicans by the far right.

And now we are watching Trump set his core base against the moderate mainstream.....inciting violence and exploiting the dark underworld of racism.

 

[rareboy]

I would note that as of today, Hillary's back to an 86.3% chance of winning the presidency.
