Rukh Whitefang Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I really get irritated when I here about people that don't vote. Only half of my work crew went and voted. Not just for president but voting at all. My state had a huge laundry list of things to vote on. Presidential election, House of Reps, State house/senate. A new county sheriffs, State Supreme Court. And in my city 2 major tax increases. And lastly a bunch of board of trustees for the major colleges. You just ignore all that.... Its ridicules. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilishlyHandsome49 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I voted earlier today for Hillary. No line, took less than 10 minutes. I get this sinking feeling though this is gonna be a close call or go to Trump. If Trump wins this, any respect I have for my country will be gone and further prove just how fucked and divided we really are. I'd rather have someone who's more stable and at least have some political background than a rich. irritable wannabe dictator that's so disconnected from reality and is unpredictable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of her problems with Russia stems from old shit from the cold war. Just talk though. Turning all of Russia into a no-fly zone (this isn't Iraq or Syria we're talking about, this is RUSSIA, one of the biggest countries on the planet) would be a pretty hard thing to do. And even I don't think Hillary would be that stupid. Are you sure you didn't mean Syria? I could see that being a thing. I also have been curious about the anti-clinton (usually trump supporters) who say she committed treason. If they mean the emails, I don't see that as being treason. Treason is the deliberate aid of enemies. 3 minutes ago, Sidewalk Surfboard said: "Someone I dislike might win, therefore America is now shit because it is not conforming to my opinions." It's less that it doesn't conform to my opinions and more that most Americans are willing to vote willfully and eagerly for two bad candidates, ignoring or explaining away all their flaws with shit logic. There's some serious cult of personality going on there. People are willing to grovel at the feet of those two. It's stupid. Our country should be smarter than this. Plus, there is the fear that whichever idiot wins, they might fuck up this country in absolutely terrible ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rukh Whitefang Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'll add on here that no matter who wins, this election is changing things. Statistically one candidate had a huge ground campaign. The other, next to nothing in that regard. Thats unprecedented. And whatever side wins HAS to pay attention to the other half of the country. And in my personal opinion that lies more on Hillary than Trump as she is part of the political establishment. Its a wake up call to both parties on how dissatisfied people are with them. Not to mention if Trump wins, it will be a first that an outsider took the highest office in the country with NO political experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she made that into a No-fly zone, people should understand why. As for the emails thing, that shit's become a meme now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGravitas Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 "Who rules Central and Eastern Europe commands the Heartland. Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island. Who rules the World-Island commands The World." The Cold War was not the beginning of history. Soviet policy in Eastern Europe under Russian rule reflected Imperial Russian policy. It was not coincidence. It was not a shared ideology. It was logical. It is inevitable. Without a proper weight to keep the balance, the world system will lean the other way. It is not old hatreds, it is not a question of a new ally or an undesirable ally. It is logic. It is geopolitics. It is what it must be. And if we let it slip, we will not get it back without far greater pain and suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rukh Whitefang Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'd never imagine I would ever say this sentence, but I actually partially agree with a Micheal Moore statement. That there is a HUGE group of people, who because they are so justifiably furious at both establishment parties decided throw throw a live grenade into the political establishment and walk away. I honestly cannot fault people for that sentiment. Maybe this is what it takes to fix our broken government, Throwing a live grenade into the WH. Obviously I am not a Trump fan, yet I am one of those who voted for him. Not because I like what he has said, not because I like his character (I don't), not because I trust him per say. But, because he is so far out of the box, that just maybe this is whats needed. I guess when I voted a couple hours ago I decided to roll the dice and see what happens. Also shameless plug but it looks like whoever wins MI may end up deciding the election. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Edit: If that happens then the House votes to decide the Pres and the Senate votes to decide the VP. But the GOP has held and gained in the House and Senate. So if that happens more than likely Trump would win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
