I know what hilliary clinton wants to do, and I want the country to do things differently.


Hillary Clinton is a right-winger, and has only been acting left-wing lately to win the voters that would otherwise prefer Bernie Sanders.

Anyway, where'd you get that chart from?


The chart has a link to the site it came from. It's based around the idea of quantifying political ideology on a coordinate axis. You can take a quiz to see where you fall.

I was very towards the center, I tiny but to the left for my social ideologies I guess :P

I still dislike my choices other than Trump, though ;) I dislike Hilliary as a person in general, and all those scandals, and I disagree with Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein's economic ideologies.

Also Marionumber1, why does Dimentio still have his Christmas hat on? :P

This is something that unites almost everyone.

Got too lazy to change it, and it's unique/strange enough to keep.

I'm concerned that you want Trump to win.


Why would he feel guilty of proffering a candidate over others. All the memes and facebook posts about Trump are inflated to the point where people that post about how bad Trump is look stupid themselves, seeing as to how much more popular Trump becomes with each attack towards him. For example, when someone criticizes Trump of being a racist, a lot of people tend to see his perspective and prefer that point of view. Sure Trump arose from sensationalism, but right now, he seems to be the only person to have a shot at winning and having reasonable solutions to problems, and his opinion matches a lot of people's.

Anyway, watched new Mr. Robot episode yesterday. IDK wtf just happened, that was the most fucked episode of the series, but still interesting since it puts you in his perspective.

I think that the furor over Trump is way overstated. He's made to seem like a fascist devil who would destroy the country as soon as he got elected. In reality, he's a conman likely running to get attention and fame. Even if he tried to do some of the crazier things he promised, there's no way that it would get through our system of checks and balances.

In fact, Trump would quite likely not govern at all. His son said that Trump would let his VP handle foreign and domestic policy while he focuses on "making America great again." So what we really need to worry about is Mike Pence, not Trump. Mike Pence, a far-right religious conservative, is not someone I want as president.

Hillary Clinton, though, is also a bad choice. She's untrustworthy and beholden to the corporations that donate to her, especially the financial industry and military-industrial complex. She would pursue deregulation and overseas intervention to benefit her donors, at the expense of everyone else.

But even worse, she represents a continuation of "centrism" that stops our country from moving forward. The Democrats win elections promising to fight for progressive change, then refuse to fight, and blame the "evil Republicans" in Congress for getting nothing done. This is a lie, since they had total control of Congress from 2008 to 2010 and still underdelivered. And the reasons Republicans keep winning so much are their fault:

* They don't follow up on their promises, causing their base to get demotivated
* They don't challenge corrupt systems that bring the GOP into power, like electronic voting
* They have terrible organization at the state and local level

Yet they can keep getting elected and being ineffectual, because they're made to look good in comparison to the Republicans. Trump, in particular, is the ultimate scapegoat for the Democrats. All the overstated demonization of him is giving Hillary a chance to win, even though she's heavily disliked.

Anyway, watched new Mr. Robot episode yesterday. IDK wtf just happened, that was the most fucked episode of the series, but still interesting since it puts you in his perspective.


There are some interesting theories about Elliot, such as

he's actually in prison or a mental hospital.

Yeah, I agree with all of that, I'd rather have Trump than Clinton, Clinton already showed how much of a liar and how dangerous she is, especially in foreign affairs.

People that believe the fascist racist Trump bs are the people that would click on buzzfeed stories, full of sensationalist shit about how he hates american born hispanics because he thought a judge would be biased, while when you hear the interview, he clearly says he has nothing against hispanics, but he could be biased due to the infamy Trump has.

And wow, that Mr. Robot theory, that would be a pretty interesting twist, while at the same time it would be pretty sad and rage inducing to say the least. But I would expect that, the series is very volatile.

Yes, exactly.

So for now on, if you people want to continue discussing politics, please take it elsewhere, like a new thread.

No need to continue derailing the thread further :v

Right at this moment? Nothing, sorry.

Recently watched a few episodes of Everybody Hates Chris, and also The Time Machine (2002). Interesting movie to say the least. I still prefer Back to the Future (the trilogy, which is kinda a unfair comparison but welp) because I like the more humoristic style.

Everybody Hates Chris indeed. Heard that this series wasn't that successful on the US, but boy it was well-known over here. Even if it's a little exaggerated, it's still funny.
