The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[Katman]

....91% some bird I've never heard of, 42% some bloke I've never heard of....

That's probably just a sad indictment on how blinded by the mainstream media you are.

[PrincessBandit]

I got 77% Hillary; 70% Jill Stein.

Quite frankly given that the result is going to be between two evils, I think I'd still prefer a rational sounding and appearing one than a wind bag buffoon who quite frankly doesn't seem to have a jot of anything constructive to say. And that's every time he opens his pie hole. The guy comes across as a limp - yes limp - dick.

Or that I'm just a realist, and know the US voting system well enough to know that independents have no chance, even in years like this.

But I could use a laugh, so what sort of mainstream media sources do you think have blinded me?

The ones that you agree with.

Do you not see the circular nature of such illogic? Perhaps such an assumption is simply a sad indictment of the way you 'gather' information.

At least I know the names of more than just two of the presidential candidates.

Well look at mister clever clogs over here

Do you also know you don't get to vote for any of them

[Hemi Makutu]

93% Jill Stein. But 14% for Trump! WTF? I'll hit myself over the head with a big book I must need to smarten up.

Hey, be fair, he is aping a number of ol' Adolf's populist policies, so that's a likely result for any hard-as fucker..

( Just make sure the 'big book' is Mein Kampf, eh fella)..

He's blinded to more than that. We have discussed the other two candidates and what they are standing for in this thread.

The Yank politicians are a worry particularly the ones that come through as Governor of a state. They tend to know a lot about State matters but very little of international affairs.

When the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson was asked, "What would you do about Aleppo?"
His resonse was, "What's a Leppo?"

In the search for the proverbial truth, the "everything the MSM says is wrong" approach is just as delusional as "everything the MSM says is right".

It's not so much that MSM reporting is wrong it is more about the selective omissions that give cause for most concern!

Because the non-MSM NEVER Cherry Picks or selectively omits relevant data........

How the fuck would you know?

You refuse to acquaint yourself with it.

I refuse to brainwash myself with it - There is a difference, but keep praying to your Idol.

They seem to find plenty of time for real news like sports.

Anyways how do all you MSM bashers know whats MSM without watching/reading it?

Would knowing who all the Presidential hopefuls make me better informed at my non voting rights in the US elections?
