That 'The Choice' special made me realize that Trump's entire life has been dedicated to an elaborate performance art parody of The Fountainhead.

It made me even more afraid of the idea of him being president

I knew he was dumb, and not fit to be president, but I didn't realize that literally all of his success has come from dumb luck, scamming people, and getting bailed out by smart people, nor did I realize the catastrophic scale of his failures.

We would be SCREWED.

best i can say is that i got blocked by richard dawkins on twitter for calling him a racist and a dick

lmao

That dude is the worst. People like him and Julian Assange helped me to realize that the people on the news aren't necessarily any smarter than that pretentious kid from your freshmen year dorm.They probably were at one point the pretentious kid from someone's freshmen year dorm!

I do but Hillary Clinton is not the candidate with the most progressive platform!

My question was dumb, let me rephrase it.

You believed in Bernie enough to donate $2700 to his campaign. That's pretty cool. Judging from that, and from the passion you display right now, in this thread!!! I have to ask:

Why do you ignore Bernie's current stance that Hillary Clinton is the only choice? Why do you think he took this stance? Why is he wrong?

And you said you were double-toxxing, so you support Trump? Why would you support the very candidate that Bernie says CANNOT become president?

And if you're voting third party, I mean, I guess I just hope you live in a state where she's going to win anyway? Because that is the only excuse for wasting a vote on a third party candidate, though in this election it still isn't a good idea.

Bernie is right that Trump cannot become president. The consequences would be extreme.

I think a lot of it is also that Trump is (or at least WAS) so vague you can sort of project your own image of what he is on to him.

Like, forums poster the Saurus saw Trump as secretly pretty liberal. He did take some unusually progressive stances in the beginning, but then he'd take the opposite the next day. Everyone knows that Trump is a pandering liar because he's so obvious about it. I can sort of understand how someone might assume they figured out the REAL Trump. That THEY were the ones who could tell the lies apart from the truths.

I mean, in the beginning. And if they were already kinda dumb.

They should convince Trump to run in the midterms.

That would be one way to spread awareness.

If I were Hillary I'd be like "ooohhhh man, I hope Trump doesn't try for congress. That would be soooo baaaaaad!"

I don't think there will be serious riots or anything, but I'm starting to worry about the long-term effects.

Trump is now aggressively driving the narrative that the system is rigged. He has also created the deplorables party. It's not enough to win him this election but it's probably going to snowball into something very ugly over time.

Like, we're all cheering-on the destruction of the GOP, but sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't??? The future is scary.

The notion of things being rigged is bigger than Trump, though. People have been cynical about politics for a long time, obviously, but you can't ignore the amping-up of aggression.

It's comforting and feels like common sense to say everything will go back to normal but idk

I can't think of an explanation for that last part other than blatant partisan hypocrisy. I'm trying to think of a logical argument for covering one thing up and going public with the other, that actually relates to national security, but I can't think of anything.

His explanation was that he had publicly testified about the email investigation being closed multiple times, so he felt the need to be open about a change in its status.

Regardless of what you think of that explanation, I don't understand how disclosing the Russia thing would have been partisan.

Saying something like "we are investigating whether or not Trump paid Putin for his services" could be.

I guess they meant that people knowing Putin wanted Trump could influence them to not want to vote for him because of their negative opinions of Putin? I dunno. I guess that's debatable.

But these two issues compared side-by-side do not feel balanced to me.
