The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[Oscar]

you tried that , how many times before???

Call me optimistic.
You still don't seem to have mastered the art of communication, though.

[Oscar]

Oscar and I fell out initially because I criticised Israel over their treatment of Gaza and the west Bank I.E. Palestine - IMHO Israel is no better than Nazi Germany!

That is the crux of our dispute but Oscar and I are like oil and water - unable to mix - so be it. The sun will shine tomorrow!

You are an idiot.
I have criticised Israel for exactly the same thing.
The main difference is that I don't compare them to Nazi Germany or make statements about ley lines in Jerusalem or "the myth of anti-Semitism".

No really, tell us about "the myth of anti-Semitism".
You're the one with all the answers.

One of Trump's policy advisors. Yet another moron who believes that capitalism means freedom.

but the fact that voters are occasionally able to stand against the powers-that-be is a small source of hope, or so it seems to me.

That remains to be seen .. Trump has appealed to the disaffected portions of the US - a classic would-be Politician's mistake. Exactly the mistake Pauline Hanson made in Oz ...Brash did the same thing when he made his Orewa Speech ... None of them won either ...

Appealing to the disaffected gets them all riled up and cheering - and it looks like the politicians gain a lot of support ...

However, this is one point these politicians have forgotten - disaffected people do not vote. Get it? Disaffected people do not vote

So while these politicians look like they have a lot of support, it rarely translates into actual support at the polling booths because VOTING is not high on the list of the habits of disaffected people - standing and screaming in anger in crowds is part of their behavior, but voting is not.

It's going to be interesting ... but Hillary is going to win ..

It means freedom for the very rich to screw everyone else .. INCLUDING all of us here ...

[oldrider]

There is always the possibility that if Trump gets in that he might be a "great" president! - Don't hold your breath but always stay a little optimistic at least!

With Hillary you can guarantee she will not be for the people and will revert to type at any given moment!

I had started to notice something similar... but I have been assured that said screwing is business and not personal and is completely normal and really is the best we can do. But hey, useless jobs are real important.

Haha what a load of dribble.

Hillary's handlers are going to steel the win.

The Hillary's handlers media bias in it's self is voter fraud.

Adam Smith and Ludwig von Mises spring to mind. I don't see Fuller as being completely and utterly wrong though, OSH being an interesting example

This is for you though

Well, it's not off-grid, it's not rebellious, nor indeed is there a need for self-funding. It is alternative, but I think you'll like it.
