I would hope not, but at this point, the US feels like a one-party system with the Republicans being a bit of a joke since like year 2000. This is going to be a colossal landslide and Trump is poisoning the party against anyone who may run in 2020. Meanwhile Clinton just showed herself a beast at this shit. I don't think it's too early to place money on 2020. | ||

It's just problematic, since they can all be refuted so easily with an emotional argument that doesn't have merit with the average demographic. Libertarian has the problem of having to apply the idea to everything or the believability of the idea goes way down. That's how you end up with things like Johnson saying that we should be "allowing consumer-driven market forces to reduce over-harvesting and ocean pollution" despite that having been the disastrous situation that has us talking about ocean health to begin with. | ||

In the same way TL doesn't allow homophobic comments to allow everyone here to feel welcome... Don't make these kinds of polls to make other people not welcome in this thread. Hillary supports outnumber the Trump supporters here, but no need to crap on them. | ||

And because that's the kind of election we're doing this year I guess. If reality says Trump is losing then reality must be corrected by the Trump fans. | ||

I would hope not, but at this point, the US feels like a one-party system with the Republicans being a bit of a joke since like year 2000. Every single cycle due to demographic changes it gets harder for republicans to win the white house. By 2020 itll be very hard and by 2024 virtually impossible barring a massive change in the party but the membership wont let that change happen. | ||

The mods can look at what's going on and who's voting in the polls. Pro-Trump botters have bombed every click poll they can find on the internet for every debate. | ||
