Trump or Hillary as President, who else is petrified?

[LJay]

[MENTION=22821]NativeSon[/MENTION], My headache is raging again this morning and I don't really understand your point.

I do understand that in any political contest the various groups involved do indeed weigh the options and their consequences.

Please clarify.

^Aw...

Did any of you Green converts attend the Green Party Convention? It was a very important convention.

[Emiliano]

No, I don't live near Texas. I've been following the speeches and events though. I really like what Stein was saying at the APIA event last week.

Dan Savage on Jill Stein: Just No.

Yeah, let’s talk about the Green Party for just a moment, or third parties, getting a third party movement off the ground here in this country. Because we are sick of the two party system!

Here’s how you fucking do that: you run people not just for fucking president every four fucking years.

I have a problem with the Greens, I have a problem with the Libertarians. I have a problem with these fake, attention seeking, grandstanding Green/Libertarian party candidates who pop up every four years, like mushrooms in shit, saying that they're building a third party. And those of us who don't have a home in the Republican Party, don't have a home in the Democratic Party, can't get behind every Democratic position or Republican position, should gravitate toward these third parties. And help build a third party movement by every four fucking years voting for one of these assholes like Jill fucking Stein, who I'm sure is a lovely person, she's only an asshole in this aspect.

If you're interested in building a third party, a viable third party, you don’t start with president. You don't start by running someone for fucking president.

^^^and then lecturing those of us who have had to plug our nose over the years for the greater good....

IF we had done the third party dance...you might have had a President Romney...or a President Palin....

We would NOT have marriage equality

For me..the worst thing is people who have never voted telling people who show up every time for every election what "we are doing wrong"...like where the f*ck were YOU? when it mattered?

I show up every time...for School Boards....for local elections....and we have Hitler now running for President....and they want to teach us a lesson....now?

I have learned the lesson though..and I will never forget it. It might not be the lesson they want me to learn....but it is a lesson nonetheless.

I just came across this and thought I'd share:



I'm not making a point, just sharing something that made me laugh when I saw it.

[supasyd]

If it means anything; almost everyone here across the pond are in awe (and not the nice kind) over how Trump has even been taken seriously at all by anyone, let alone such a huge chunk of the country. You think you guys will be the only ones fucked if trump gets in?

[LJay]

Good to hear from you, Supasyd.

You are right. The UK has Brexit and Uncle Sam has Wrecksit!

I've lived on the streets, I've mingled with outcasts and criminals, explored underground subcultures, read subversive and objectionable literature (not to mention some of the shocking stuff in the world of fanfiction)...and yet the rise of Trump makes me feel as if I'm still naive.

People keep telling my I'm too cynical but I keep finding out that I'm not cynical enough!

I have been asking people for months now to give me examples of how Trump is racist, sexist, or just a "really big mean stupid head". I've had conversations at work ( I work at Whole Foods, btw), gone to the Huffington Post, Washington Post and to YouTube and watched the Young Turks spew their ridiculously immature "Political views". Whenever Trump is brought up all I hear is "He's a dick", "He's racist", he wants to build a wall, he wants to ban muslims. I have to ask, What's the problem with wanting to build a wall and banning muslims temporarily? Btw, there is no evidence to back up Trump being racist or sexist. He's one of the best presidential candidates for the LGBT community. Any politician that is willing to continue to tell the LGBT community (specifically) that Islam is friendly to Gays and that the Orlando Massacre is a gun control issue and NOT a Muslim issue, is neither your friendnor do they care for your safety. Stay safe people.
