2016 USA Presidential election thread I: The warm-up

[Dimmauk]

I'm voting for Trump because the Oligarchy has hated him from the very beginning. Anyone the oligarchy hates, the oligarchy does not control. I could care less if he's an awful President.

Whoever the media hates is the guy or gal I'm voting for, and the media hates Trump.

That basically means a vote for Trump is a vote against media, banks, money-politics, party establishments, etc.

He can shit in his hand on live television, and throw it at the moderators, and I'd still vote for him, because my opinion of everyone else is so far below sea level.

Fox News blatantly engineered a Romney nomination. A lot of Republican voters wanted to go outside the box and vote for Ron Paul, but they were bodied into thinking he had no chance against Obama. Now they're pushing Bush, and probably in the end Bush/Rubio. They're so predictable it's embarrassing. Everyone will hate them enough that absolutely anyone for the other party will be able to beat them, and we'll get another meaningless election.

Time to introduce a little chaos.

Why not vote for Bernie Sanders?

[Jaybar]

Because like Trump, he wants to elicit a dramatic response from those around him.

Screw that, let him vote for Trump. Hopefully, like 10% of GOP voters have the same mindset. Trump may be, pun intended, the democrats Trump card come general election.

Completely agree.

At this point, we should just get Vince McMahon to run. Then we can get pyro for debate entrances and silly political promos.

Bernie Sanders can't even control his own speaking events... 1:05 is pure gold.

[Dimmauk]

That's not Sanders fault at all.

[Aksannyi]

Isn't Bernie Sanders like, the one (or one of the few) candidate who is on the same side as the #BlackLivesMatter movement? What do these protesters have to gain by interrupting someone who is on their side? Why not pull this crap on one of the GOP?

Or am I missing something here?

Guys don't vote Obama, a senator stood up and called him a liar at his state of the union address.

They are a rogue BLM faction. https://outsideagitators206.org/blog...bowdownbernie/

And this shit is why liberals get a bad rap.
They shoulda been chucked off the stage, that's just embarrassing for all parties involved.

I think Bernie handled it perfect. You dont want to go heavy handed even though they deserved it. He just bowed out and let them dig themselves a grave.

He also didn't speak at all after them and ended up just shaking some hands and leaving. I doubt Hilary would let anyone stop her from speaking.

That's why I have a problem with decentralized movement, BLM movement will soon go the way of Occupy Wall Street. Without a real leadership from BLM, this will keep happening, and the media will surely pin this on BLM even though it's just a few people who went rogue under the guise of BLM banner. Honestly I feel bad for them, they didn't accomplish anything out of this other than undermining the BLM movement, and they look uneducated more than anything.

Bernie keepin it moving, gotta go fill up stadiums and shit. #realrecognizereal

That's my city... 90% awesome, 10% wtf.

[Blubbartron]

Those people need set on fire. Jesus fucking christ. The amount of disrespect is just unconscionable. It's not your fucking event to speak at. If you want to speak, go speak somewhere else. Fuck.

Come on... Seattle is WAY more than 10% WTF. This city's about 70% awesome, and about 70% WTF. There's just a lot of overlap between the two.
