Presidential Election 2016 US (17)

So I thought I would keep on track on the election for you guys and try to post everyday. Right now the election is at an even side. Hillary lost some support due to her emails being hidden.

Trump has been gaining more support as Hillary is losing some as it seems.

They should really change that voting system. 55 votes for California and 29 for NYC?
That's blatant power manipulation.

>>6 It's population based, essentially, so states with less people don't get an unfair advantage over states with more. All votes count equally this way.

Every state also gets 2 additional votes (to represent the two senators), so even states without a population would theoretically get a vote (not that any exist).

Yeah,it is kinda ridiculous.Not to mention how much money they waste funding said elections that couldve been used on the country instead.Atleast Trump has used his OWN money...

Current Locations:

>>8 They're both funded by a combination of self-financing and donations. It's not like Clinton was using taxpayer money lmao

I agree, though, that elections shouldn't be campaign based. Financials should have no part in an election. (I do appreciate that the money spent is getting out of pockets of a few big companies and back into the general system, but I'm sure there are better ways to do this.)

I thought Clinton used swindled money from her 'charity' foundation?

So trump won, and Russia said they wanted tk rebuild relations with the US. It's bittersweet. On one hand I hate trump, but on the other I've been scared if Russia, as they are a nuclear power.

12 Name: BarabiSama !lmBitchbiw : 2016-11-09 07:35 ID:dE70yuNE [Del]

>>10 The campaign donors are listed publicly online, if you're still curious. Most of their money comes from insane donations from stakeholders in big companies.

>>11 As much as I want to rebuild relations with Russia, it's not something we can do without risk if our allies aren't on board. Trump's campaign implied he wants to choose Russia over the allies we already have, rather than adding them as another asset, which is... dangerous.

We'll have to see how all this nonsense goes now that everything is majority Republican.

>>11 I don't think Russia is stupid enough to nuke us just yet. Really, they have no good reason to. I was in Russia this summer, everyone seems to be getting by. Mostly, people actually want peace.

Already watched. Shame he didn't mention Pence's anti-gay crusades. If he did it would have probably increased public awareness about why the LGBTQ+ community at large is scared of him.

TLDR: Pence won't do anything to the LGBTQ+ community.

You realize that Pence never said anything about using shock therapy to convert people into heterosexuals. He may not like them but that's his personal opinion, besides, the likelihood of him being able to pass alnything along that even remotely discuss the 'removal' of LGBTQ+ right is very low, the givernent dosent really like taking rights away from people nowadays.
At this point it's safe to assume that anything you hear about him targeting the LGBTQ+ community and making them the victims of some great social injustice is most likely false. Feel free to disagree but I am serving out what I understand to be the facts.
If you look at the whole picture, there is nothing to be gained from doing something malevolent to the LGBTQ+ as it would give people a reason to actively go against the government, which if you've brushed up on history, dosent end well for anyone.

17 Name: BarabiSama !lmBitchbiw : 2016-11-16 22:08 ID:dE70yuNE [Del]

>>16 Who said anything about shock therapy? We're not talking about going back to the stone ages, just about undoing the last decade or two of social progress towards equality.

And the problem is that it's really not just "his personal opinion." If that were the case, his stances would be closer to Kaine's, who shares his moral opinions and religious beliefs.

Pence is different -- he thinks the gov't has the right to step into women's and LGBT+ matters, and he's been proving how accurate that train of thought is over they years he's been in office.

Take an actual look at the bills he's passed and/or has tried to pass throughout his (even recent) time as a politician; it's not a pretty picture. He's much more threatening than Trump as far as internal politics go.

"there is nothing to be gained" Except loads of support from far-reaching religious activists and donation-heavy republican extremists.
