10.10.16 | @luca no man I have nothing against you
Trump and Clinton are more similar than people think. He's been on the moderate left most of his life in the last two years posing as a conservative and she's been moderate right her whole life and is pretending to be something I don't know what exactly. He's better at pandering to people more likely to vote for him than she is because the progressive movement has completely abandoned her just like she has abandoned progressives. Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul are god damn heroes |

10.10.16 | What kind of argument is this. No guys, let's not invest into more efficient ways of harnessing coal, because currently, burning wood is way cheaper. Nvm. that coal is potentially way more capable.
Nobody is arguing. Hey guys, let's just do away with fossil fuels towmorow and go solar energy. But we need to advance the technology and yes, invest into improving it. It's called long-term investment.
Windmills are also good, but wind-energy is way more limited in it's potential than solar-energy. It's still a worthwile supplement to the energy mix though. Especially in the northern hemisphere. |

No presidential election in the world is gonna change the fact that your healthcare costs are the highest in any industrialized country. No presidential election is gonna change the fact that the system disadvantages the majority of the U.S. populace. No presidential election is gonna change the horrendous state of labor law in the U.S. (extremely low rates of vacation, no paid vacation per statute, outlawing of unions in many states). No presidential election is gonna change the fact that police brutality and judicial shenanigans disproportinately affect people of low socioeconomic status. No presidential election is gonna change the fact that the U.S. suffers from a mostly impractical casuistic judicial system and a lot of areas are woefully underregulated (i.e. supplements, banks, insurance systems and the likes). No presidential election is gonna change that people underestimate the importance of state level elections which influence their daily lives through the amount of laws they pass. No presidential election is gonna change the fact that Rick Scott is essentially Voldemort. And no presidential election is gonna change the fact that a lot of people are so blinded by prototypical American ideologies that they will gladly support people and ideas that disadvantage them.

another unsubstantiated claim. There's a local W.A town of roughly 30,000 whom have around 80% of their energy requirements met by a windfarm situated on a nearby escarpment - plus it actually serves as a tourist destination because the turbines are quite an impressive sight.

StarlessCore
10.10.16 | "So we're not all on board that Trump won last night?"
he actually did but lets remember a few things
1. hes still an idiot and doesnt have the knowledge to be president
2. the questions were better this time around he gave a few decent answers, which I believe are simply things people around him have told him to say, but he said them nonetheless
3. hilary did HORRIBLE and was grilled pretty badly on a few things. trump admitted he takes advantage of carried interest like all the donors that fund hilary's campaign and corrupt-to-hell foundation (if shes so wealthy and about equality can't she put her own money into campaigning just a thought)
i mean she is getting destroyed by the email questions. gets asked and slyly thinks her response is suitable. both og them spent way too much time not answering the question asked |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.10.16 | 1. Agree
2. Agree
3. Yup. She deserved to be grilled pretty hard on some things, the first debate was literally just a "fuck Trump" questionnaire while her misdeeds went unnoticed.
She deserves to get destroyed by the e-mail question, who she is being funded by is also pretty worrisome, her hand in Libya and much else of the Middle East, etc.
Her immigration policy is also beyond retarded.
Whoever wins, I'll be upset but for totally different reasons. Clinton is much more qualified and knows what the fuck she is doing (something I cannot say for Trump), but many of her policies are genuinely dangerous.
Also, yeah. 70% of that debate was them not answering questions. Trump still won last night, though. Clinton won the first round. I'm anxious to see how the last debate will go. |

10.10.16 | donald trump is a complete idiot and won the debate....the people arguing like yeah hilary is corrupt and wouldnt be worse than trump vote for her to block trump nah like shes so bad in general for other things the fact that shes knowledgable and 'qualified' in the sense that she has the KNOWLEDGE to be president isnt enough i cant vote for her cant do it |

10.10.16 | I haven't looked into many of her policies tbh so I'm going mostly by second hand sources but she appears as essentially a deceitful two-faced bitch although I think she understands how thoroughly scrutinized all her actions will be when/if she's president. plus she seems a little bit less stubborn then Trump in that from all accounts, he doesn't even consult other members when devising his ridiculous proposals. She may not have all - or many - of the qualities of a good leader but at least she's not likely to ruin diplomacy with half of the world and turn them against the US.
Put it this way in Australian politics (bearing in mind the election process is very different) you'll see glimpses of federal election candidates being shitcunts before they're elected but usually the shit hits the fan and their true shit colors come out once they've got the position (they'll fail to uphold promises they made earlier etc) but these two are already smeared in their own shit during their campaigns, it makes you wonder just how shit they'll be when they take up office. Drowning in their own shit probably? |
