the US political system is utterly broken and it is essentially impossible for a third-party candidate to win a presidential election under current state laws

this is the reason neither Trump nor Sanders ran as third-party candidates

they are, essentially, both third-party candidates using the political apparatus that exists instead of wasting everybody's money and time on a stillborn-by-law campaign

That's got nothing to do with Independents being mewling, unreliable shitheads with no ideology except whatever sounds good at the moment or FYGM, and the youth vote failing every pro-youth candidate since the inception of Democracy

When would the RNC realistically need to have settled their plans for speakers and all that? Could it feasibly have surprises through the end, or would names and times be locked in a week or two in advance?

Nobody actually cares to research the full Twitter background of the thousands of blurbs and memes Trump retweets and the "mistakes" keep Trump's name blasted over every single airwave 24/7 for exactly zero dollars. Clinton spent more money this month than Trump did his entire primary, the polls flipped entirely in his favor, and you legitimately think you are smart people behind a smart candidate. :master:

Every casino union busts? It's not a good thing and that's exactly the opinion you're trying to bait out. It's true the casino business is a lovely field filled to the brim with legitimate mobsters and criminal enterprise. Nasty choices have to be made to compete in that field. Union efforts are usually met with bloodshed in Vegas, not consultants.

If we're comparing candidates here, which by god we're going to do in CSPAM, Clinton receives and gives concessions to countries with legitimate slavery. Her history of supporting human rights abuse is awe-inspiring.

Given the labor conditions in Trump's overseas clothing factories, as well as his other sketchy international business connections, that's an interesting angle for you to take. Let's run with it. Hillary is pro-slavery, ok!

Which is more likely: Hillary (re)instituting slavery in the United States, or Trump continuing to contribute to deteriorating labor conditions in the US?

and trump wants to give one of those countries nuclear weapons, as well as having businesses in countries with legitimate slavery, but i guess he has to do that to compete as well, right?

but you're right, let's stop our associations with any countries with human rights abuses, since we couldn't influence them and try to push them to working on that issue, i'm sure when they align with russia or china instead that'll make things so much better

Hillary will continue to erode workers' rights, compensation, and job availability through globalist trade agreements that increasingly export manual labor to third world countries. She will pass tax plans that heavily damage the middle class while allowing 1%ers to dodge them through tax evasion, low capital gains taxes, and charity loopholes. Judging from her hard-on for the tech field and the inevitable effects of a massive minimum wage hike, she will immensely contribute to automation and put millions of Americans permanently out of jobs with little recourse to turn to. As a fiscal conservative, she will deny or veto any efforts to establish any kind of universal income to offset automation, and will break welfare systems in areas that do not contain Democrat constituencies. She will pretend to be on the side of the worker, as she is now, and veto all legitimate attempts to salvage an increasingly desperate and dying middle class.

Trump will institute protectionism to reclaim the manufacturing capacity of the United States and bring production of goods back to our country. He will end abusive immigration loopholes that allow tech, farm, and industrial companies to import foreign nationals willing to work for pennies on the dollar. His plan completely eliminates income tax on the bottom 50% of Americans, and closes many loopholes used to push tax money overseas. Globalist conglomerates like Amazon and Wal-Mart, who rely on slavery or undercompensated foreign workers, will be hit with deep import tariffs on their foreign productions, either forcing them to employ American workers at a living wage or pay trillions of dollars in taxes to fund American infrastructure. We will be able to rebuild factories, schools, and properly train and prepare our populace for automation in a manner that does not throw the existing middle class into a trash pit. America will be Great Again, and we will be able to compete with nationalist economies like Russia and China on an even playing field.

they do make less, but it's more like a few thousand dollars less, not pennies on the dollar lmao

and he also slashes taxes for the rich and corporations, resulting in a 10 trillion dollar loss in revenue over 10 years

why would trump care about a living wage when he's been against the minimum wage as it stands, much less raising it so every worker can make a living wage? and even if he did raise it, he'd also raise the prices of many goods, muting the effect on increased income

would love to see some numbers on how you got to trillions of dollars in new taxes on corporations, when he'll lower the base tax rate for them
