2016 USA Presidential election thread II: And. Here. We. Go!

[tyven]

Ok, so if you get to keep one of Obama's biggest achievements, but the other 3 get scrapped, which do you keep?

1) Obamacare
2) Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Protection Bureau
3) The Iran nuclear deal
4) Our commitments under the Paris climate change accord

Choose 1 to keep

2 is not a big ticket item on Trump's agenda so it could live for a while, maybe even survive

I think crying doom and gloom is as unreasonable and childish as the people taking the "BERNIE WOULD HAVE WON!" stance as well.

The country isn't going to implode. The world won't end. Life will most likely end up slightly, but measurably, worse for minorities, women, and LGBT over the next 4 years, but life will go on.

Claims of apocalypse and the like belong in the fucking trash with blind idealism. People need to grow the fuck up.

It's important to people who have no fucking clue how conception works.

Man, all these people who voted for Trump is going to have buyers remorse soon. They laugh now but more and more people are going to join that women in the fetal position. Hope I'm wrong and Trump is decent, but I'm fully convinced we will see a dystopia in these 4 years.

what exactly do you think he's going to do?

Whatever gets people to stop abusing our EMS systems(like calling 911 for stubbing your toe and other stupid shit I see on the daily) and gets people to stop using ER's as primary, I want that one.

I can understand the ER.. a little bit. Have had to use it like that just once. Appointments at one point use to be really long waits, like 3 weeks. They are getting better though.

Edit: and it wasn;t for lame thing.

I vote for the Paris Climate Accord. As much as I think Obamacare has its plus and minus's and with some work it can work much better, and I don't want to see people without healthcare because they cannot afford it, our Climate is currently fucked and if we continue down the path we are and destroy all of the work put into protecting the climate we are in a lot of trouble since that's the world we are talking about

So that's a funny one. All of the corps who are signing on to meet Obama''s expectations are also funding legislators who are against the idea of climate change.

I think you underestimate just how much Hillary was disliked and how much baggage she had. I think we can all agree maybe if you are under multiple FBI investigations prob not best to run for office.

And you can sit there and cry about that and let republicans continue to control the country so you can feel better about yourself.

i wish i could accept this with the level of force you present it with. i mean i think all of us who were on the losing side wanna believe things will be ok and that we won't all be hurt too badly.


but man it's just not what i feel right now

[Olo401]

what exactly do you think he's going to do?

It's pretty clear - he's going forward with his campaign promises.

And Paul Ryan is already all in joining him on that train, enemies list or not.

Sorry, in four years I'll be practicing and hoping the patients I serve actually have access to health care.

Feel better about that.

Lots of talk about Bernie.. yet he did not get past the primaries. /confused

I mean there is hard, hard evidence of collusion with the Media/DNC to make this happen.

Become a yes man to do the least amount of work possible.

The instant flip in reddit (especially r/politics) is amazing. I wonder how many full time employees CTR had been using to keep reddit under control.

As a member of one of these groups, I am very fucking worried. Overall the country will survive, but I stand to lose a lot of ground on my rights.

Please elaborate on exactly what you're worried about

But apparently that's not important enough to you to try and build bridges rather than burn them.
