Oh look, someone trying to push Trump on us. Bless your heart, you just think we’re all idiots here.

No, they’re not the same. None of us are buying it.

Why is it so common that people assume if you don’t like one candidate that automatically makes you a proponent of the other? Is it not possible for you to conceive that both candidates may be power-hungry human garbage?

They’re centrists, scared centrists, who recognize that political in-fighting can result in a split vote letting the party with less votes take the election. However in addition to being humongous pricks about it (helping the in-fighting), they fail to recognize two very obvious facts:

  1. Progressives don’t have a candidate. In any party. You can’t split the vote if there’s no other option to split the vote with.
  2. The popular vote doesn’t matter. Hasn’t mattered since the Republican party stole the election in 2000 (if it ever mattered in the first place). There’s somewhere between 3-6 states where the popular vote, if you trust it to be recorded and reported accurately, can swing the election one way or another. In the other 44 states, the popular vote does. Not. Matter.

I love how Americans are unable to comprehend that people outside the US exist and that internal US politics aren’t the top priority for the rest of the world. The burger empire is a plague upon the humanity regardless of which piece of human garbage is at the helm of it.

I really do wish the effects of US politics stayed within the US, unfortunately for the rest of us the actions of US plague the entire planet.

What are you going to do about it? Complain more on the same internet invented mostly by the country you hate?

It’s like you’re protesting Chinese slave labor but posting it on your slave labor produced electronics like a hypocrite.

“You criticize society yet you live in it, curious”

Also the US didn’t have the first internet type network

And there isn’t slave labor in China

You’re living in an alternate reality.
