Bleh. I'm sick of politics. I hate all the candidates and nobody represents my views. Trump is a blustering idiot and hardly a decent Republican, Hillary is a criminal, Gary Johnson is irrelevant and Jill Stein is insane.
My opinion still stands. :P

I second this.

My only consolation: I won't be able to vote. Thank heavens.


Paul Ryan for President 2020!

The real problem is, that it might only get worse.

As for the purple heart thing.... I don't understand how that makes him racist. I think the proper word is. Rude.

Maybe I should've specified, that wasn't to show that he's racist rather than to show that he's sick if he cannot respect his country's soldiers.

He donated a million dollars to military charities. And he tried not to make a big deal out of it until biased media forced him too reveal what he did.

The fact that he said, "I always wanted a purple heart." And Marine got upset about that, isn't Trump disrespecting our soldiers. That's a Marine getting upset about something, which I think is minor compared to other things Trump's said.

We could do our elections like China, where one party gets 99.9% of the votes for every election. ;)

Well, in all fairness, a one-party state can still have competitive elections; the people in the party simply split into new factions and fight it out within that system.

Now, when you have a nation like North Korea, where 100% of the voters are on record as supporting Dear Leader, then things might be a little bit rigged.

And the opinions still stand!! >:0

Do they even have elections in North Korea? I thought Kim was Supreme Ultimate Benevolent Commander for Life.


That's fine Ashes, I think that's a perfectly noble opinion to have. Honestly its such a toss up between mouthy and sickly anyway. I only go for Trump because we've been on the Democratic slide for far too long now. You can't take eight years of bad polices, and turnouts and still blame it on Bush.

They have elections for the lower positions. I think they do for his position too. He (and the officials in lower positions, for that matter) just win with unanimous approval every time.

Well I guess that is to be expected.
