Pennsylvania was a dream, and holy hell, it still feels like a dream. Wisconsin and Michigan and you were in a coma hallucinating. But really, you oversold Obamacare, foreign policy by experts, the malign effects of racism sexism and transphobia, and a dozen other issues. I'm frankly very satisfied knowing you'll blame the voting population for being too dumb to be trusted to vote in the country's best interest (the more radical ones will say in their own self interest). It might get us another reorienting election. Something tells me we'll get to see whether those claims were oversold within the next two years. ...well, this is why we have this system of government. It'll work out, or it will not. | ||

Hint: taxes is a small thing. please sell all your stock so i can buy it. and in a few years, i will be rich, and you will be poor. im willing to bet my retirement on it. | ||

You are right, all in all, what we do is insignificant in comparison to nature's numbers. But whatever, lets go back to politics. | ||

I have no idea what the Stones are, but Waters has a history of being quite a bit more about sticking it to the man. When he performs Brain Damage it's not unusual to see plenty of modern day leaders (and indeed Trump is incredibly likely going to be one of them) projected unto the wall. | ||

Oh and if you are going to bring up global warming, I hope you know that the REAL fight against global warming is actually against the meat industry. Little known fact is that cattle raising is BY FAR the number one source of green house gases. Combine that with deforestation for land to raise cattle, it's easily the number one cause. I couldn't give a shit about global warming anymore because no one is allowed to address half the problem so the problem can't get solved anyway. FYI, it's a little known fact that there are laws in the US where you can't publicly criticize the meat industry. Even Oprah got fucked by this law before. So you are saying, "the house is on fire, but we can't ever get to the root of the problem, so let's just let it burn down and fuck it." Wooo. yes, cattle are a huge green houes gas producer, yes political it is hard to deal with the many varied sources and causes for it, that doesn't mean we should just right it off and elect someone who denies it. And why do you want conservative judges? So they won't legislate from the bench? They do that just the same as the so called "liberal activist judges." Except they legislate what Republicans like, so it's all hunky dory. Reasons I don't want Conservative Judges, Gay Marriage, there is 0 reason to stop 2 consenting adults from getting married in civil society. There are many, many benefits that only married people can get that gay people could not get for themselves and their partners without being married. Hospital access to sick spouse, legal benefits, economic benefits, etc. If religious institutions don't want to give them a religious recognition? That's fine by me, but we need in our non religious civil society to let them be married. I can think of more, but I am tired, its' 3 am and I have work. Good night and good luck. | ||

Then it will be the Dems turn to be the smug assholes with "I told you so". The cycle continues -_- | ||

Four years is a long time, long lasting damage can be done in lesser. | ||

All he's got going for him is being an outsider and the young vote but that's it. I don't see how it'd make a difference. One difference that has been glossed over is that he's a man and Hillary is a woman. There's still a lot of sexism in our society, whether explicit or implicit, which is certainly a contributing factor. | ||
