You can trust Johnson to fuck the economy, but that's about it. The man is a plastic libertarian; using the guise of minarchy to push a pro-corporations agenda that would wipe away labour, environmental and human rights protections.

I don't really know what to do man. They're all really shit candidates. I want to vote, but none of them sound any good. Johnson is the lesser evil in this case in my opinion.

[Calvary]

The 'lesser evil', is Jill Stein, but she's polling around 2% and she's also thick as two short planks by the sounds of things.

 

Honestly if you want my opinion on what to do, (and in no way am I telling you whom to vote for, I wanna make that clear), Americans ought to close their eyes, clench their teeth and vote Clinton. Once they do this, they should hold her to account in terms of her foreign policy every single step of the way.

 

Really though, the more important question, one that goes above and beyond the presidency is this: what do you do to re-establish a Democrat majority in your Congress? If by some feat of 2016ism, Trump actually won the presidency, the Democrats would be absolutely fucked. They've been wiped out of Congress, wiped out of local government and their potential to retake the Senate is still not secured. It's great to have your (wo)man in the seat of power, but if you've got no one to back them up, it doesn't matter!

I agree with everything you say. Jill Stein is the best as far as the environment, but I did not mention her because she usually only has about four people at her rallies. The environment needs to be protected, but I think space travel for humans to inhabit other planets would also be a very good idea. Donald Trump has said things that can usually be ignored because it's what the Republicans were thinking anyway, but the things he said about women just make me cringe. I can't believe someone who would make hateful comments about women is allowed to get away with it. I will support either Hillary Clinton or Gary Johnson, but they are both way too religious for my taste. I wish I knew how to buy one of 96bananathing's shirts, but that robot never even said when they were leaving earth. Lol.

I have never seen ANYBODY that is more unserious as you are! Even if I die soon, do you have to MOCK me with it? Just get your funds to the bank.

Okay so tonight is the big night, right? What do we predict will be the outcome?

 

I believe that Clinton will see a Pyrrhic victory in her favour, in which she clinches a narrow win but must come to terms with the fact that neoliberalism is in it's death knell, an increasingly socially conscious precariat will expect her to uphold her progressive election pledges, and that she is ultimately not trusted. She will continue to receive the unbashed support of the Democrat party core, including St. Bernie Sanders, who will wheel himself down from his beach house funded by campaign pledges and reaffirm support for Clinton to return the support of disenchanted leftist Democrats who felt betrayed by his submission to the Establishment.

 

Trump will lose without grace, will probably deliberate over bowing out straight away and will make rumblings about a fixed election that will plague Hillary for months. His loss will incense the ultra-right and a surge in patriotic-nationalism will lead to a further deterioration of race relations. He will continue to hold Clinton to account and could force her either to shift back to the right to appease his support, or shift even further left to condemn Trumpists.

 

Jill Stein will bake herself into a mud sarcophagus and rest under a pine forest in Yellowstone for 700 years until The Awakening.

 

Johnson will be quoted approximately twelve seconds after the announcement asking, "what exactly is the Congress, anyway?" Will probably do a lot of cocaine tonight. May or may not fade into insignificance after fucking up his best and only chance at turning the Libertarian Party into a viable and realistic alternative to the bipartisan norm. 

[Affray]

Clinton will win and the U.S. will continue being the same shit show it has always been, which was going to happen regardless of victor.

The real kicker this time around is that the history making first female American President will be someone who deserves absolutely none of the pride that a milestone like that should bring. Before too much time passes everyone will stop being excited and realise that they are ashamed of who their appointed leader is and that they wasted such a monumental historical progression on a piece of human garbage that didn't want the position to better her country, just to have the position. But by then it will be too late to do much of anything about it and they will all get angry and turn to the internet to bitch instead of actually doing anything about it because guess what, that's exactly how they got in this situation in the first place and it's all they know how to do anymore.

 

It is very difficult to care about the politics of a neighbouring country when the people of that country clearly don't care enough themselves to take it seriously.

[Capsicum Annuum]

Who will be the president after Hillary Clinton?

A transgender hispanic lady?

Better yet, I slept all day and work all night. As long as I avoid all social media I'll be fine.

Good survival tactic.

You are not wrong. Several of the people I have spoken to have told me they voted trump because they think it will be funny if he wins. Fucking hell. 

 

Also some of us do care. I donated, canvassed, and phone banked for Sanders.

 

Blah. Time to drink.

[Krankykoala]

Oh fuck. Hes going to win. 

[Calvary]

Fuck sake guys you made me look dumb.


No seriously guys, fuck sake, we're doomed. Maybe time to exercise those gun rights you keep fucking going on about.

[The Robstar]

BARACK OBAMA FOR A 3RD TERM!!!!!!!!!

"There's no way Trump will be taken seriously." ✓

"There's no way Trump will win the republican candidacy." ✓

"There's no way Trump will become president." ✓

"There's no way President Trump will start a nuclear holocaust."

 

 

Also, Obama for Caesar 2016

I've been saying Trump will win since it came down to him versus Clinton. Nobody believed me.

 

On the plus side this means the accolade of first woman president won't be wasted, maybe.

Jill Stein 2020?

[Bowsette]

I sure hope not. Half of her ideas, she has no idea how to implement. If you really want to put a monkey in charge, just stick a Harambe statue in the oval office. It'll be the same effect as having Stein there.

I mean, apparently people actually did write in Harambe...

Over 14,000, from what I've heard.
