Sanders is a dreamer and will ruin the economy even more and Hillary is allaround horrible and a chronic liar. Tough choice. _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT
As someone familiar with sociialist systems, Sanders's plan cannot ruin the economy, but it's precisely that he will disrupt the natural economic apartheid that has the elites running scared and using all their tools to convince you he's the problem.
If you like having your hard earned savings disappear with negative interest rates, and you like banks bankrupting entire countries, and you like your cost of living rising without your income doing the same.... then there's no help for you. _________________ http://www.moddb.com/mods/scorched-earth-ra2-mod-with-smart-ai QUICK_EDIT

There are other parties... but I have yet to see the day where a an independent gets elected as president. Anyway, I hope any democrat gets elected again, because the choices in the republican side are horrible, starting by Trump.
Anyway, MadHQ, I know your drama. In the last 27 years I had this problem in Brazil. The strongest candidates are always corrupted lying mofos. And that is not restricted to president. In the last election of my state (Rio de Janeiro), the top 4 candidates were horrible burglars that either steal the govern constantly, are involved with organized crime, church or all of them together. A bunch of incompetent pricks. One of them got ellected and the State that is organizing the next Summer Olympic Games (which happens in the winter here, but... errr.. ok) is already out of funds. Actually, they do have funds, but they pretend to not have. They've stopped paying governmental staff and companies that do service for the governmental structure to force us to pay more taxes (CPMF). Then, I'm not surprised that our state is not being able to stop a bloody mosquito and its side effects. Luckily, and despite all governmental efforts, I wasn't infected with Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya yet. QUICK_EDIT

Well, the fact that this man is able to get so close to becoming president pretty much sums up the retarded majority of the US citizens.
Y'all whining about him becoming president, but it's democracy, you get what you vote for.
If you don't want him to be president, vote for someone else.
And if he is still able to become president, you might want to look at your neighbors and ask yourself, with what type of tards do I live in this country?
Other than that I agree with LKO, an almost-definitive two party system is not the right way.
If there's only two options and both are bad, you might as well go with the better of the two. You never get what you want that way. Having more parties mostly works the same, but at least there's more options and you can vote strategically. _________________
Frankly, I'm not only worried about Trump, I'm scared about the general direction the world's going to.
Another economic collapse is bound to happen (maybe even before the 2020s), and we haven't truly even recovered from the previous one. The financial system has grown into an incomprehensibly massive and complex mess where control is impossible. There are large companies here whose real owners are a mystery even the government cannot solve. Tax evasion is a norm, and worst of all, its all legal. Not necessarily because governments are corrupt, but because large, international companies have the resources to invest in complex financing schemes that utilize loopholes, offshore companies and tax havens. It's absurd how a relatively microscopic group of 85 people own more than a group of 3,5 billion people.
Then there's the geopolitical situation in the Europe and Middle-East as well as the refugee crisis, which I won't delve into further 'cause it's a pretty thoroughly combed subject.
In my opinion, perhaps the most alarming issue is the ongoing global environmental crisis. And I'm not talking about just the climate warming or the holocene extinction. In fact, it's difficult to talk of a single subject since there are so many, but they are all woven together in that they are primarily anthropogenic. Plastic waste, overfishing, land-use, urban sprawl, chemicalisation*, land degradation, aerial pollution; the list goes on and on...
*maybe a bad translation. What I mean is there are thousands of synthetic chemicals and new ones are invented every day; many are in widespread use, even though their side-effects are unknown, let alone the combined effects with other chemicals.
While I wait for the doomsday, where should I invest my savings? Banks are anything but reliable. Maybe gold? Although, what good will gold be in a post-apocalyptic world. Maybe bottle caps... _________________

So, I do not know where to start from. During early 90s in Balkan were wars, including my country. Yugoslavia separated, crisis everywhere. Since 90s we had ,,dictator'' named Slobodan Milošević. Later ,,democratics'' replaced him by constant yelling at streets, making revolutions etc etc... Finally in 2000s he was replaced. Then democracy i nfirst few years were good, ot looked as good, we got some money, little higher standards, but many factories shut down and many people went on streets. That democtatic rule got separated in many parties. Nevermind, since 2008 up to today, we had some crisis, then our democratic president, after 8 years of rule and his government got replaced. Since he is not president any more, his party separated into many further parts, constantly attacking each other for bad rule for thievery, lying etc etc... Remember now that we were talking about ,,dictator" being quilty for everything. Now, he is gone, they forgot dictator, they start attacking each other FOR STEALING and other crimes between themselves. people got enough of them and replaced them for even worse. before election, ex president separated again from his party making new one, basically he made his companion to lose. Now, mostly people are low paid and do not have jobs, angry on streets etc etc... Corruption everywhere, you need to be in party mostly to get job etc etc... And now, after two years we again have election in two months. We constantly have elections.
So tell me, what are you two yelling at, you and MadHQ? be lucky if Trump is your only problem as I have seen much worse.I have seen many corrupted ,,brasilian-type" rulers and many Trumps around. And I am sure people have seen much worse than me.
But RP is right. He told that you get what you are voting for. Here, everyone is yelling at govern, but nobody is doing anything to stop them. In contrary, people would even vote for them again. _________________

The reason no one is doing anything, is because the government it so corrupt it will shut down anyone that wants to stop the current congress and such; Provided they're in reach of the US anyway. In some ways, Anonymous is hopeful at best, since even the internet is policed by the US government.
85% of the American people are lemmings that will just vote with the media says is the best candidate. Whether you want to take offense to that or not, I just don't care, because it's true. It's why the strict Catholic, anti-freedom Bernie Sanders is going to be President, because the people are so ignorant that they'll ignore the fact he's just promising the same shit the last 3 presidents promised and never delivered. Things like: "We'll pull all the troops back!" *Americans cheer* ... It never happened these last 12 years, do you really think it's going to happen now?
Even if it did, it would only cause more issues than America already has, being the world police. We have our hands in everything and no one will do anything about it; You want to have a residence in America and want to work in another country? Well you still have to pay us the tax on everything you make. You want to get financial assistance to go to school? Well if you were an illegal immigrant that never paid to become a citizen, it's FREE. You want to get assistance with your disability? Only if you're dying or missing limbs, even then you must wait 5 years. Even our own military wounded have to wait that long as much as we say we're dedicated to our military.
And don't even get me started on the whole race war that's happening at the moment. *cough* Al Sharpton starting shit *cough* or the lack of education in our country.
So America is not in the shape needed to even change the government in the state it's in. _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT

It just sounds like Brazil, except that our dictatorship has ended a bit earlier. QUICK_EDIT

That's because NATO destroyed your country for resisting the American Empire Inc. Those few "good years" of democracy were nothing more than a flood of loans to force the balkanization and sell-off to western interests like Greece when it couldn't pay.
As for the corruption, every puppet regime installed by NATO is worse than the "brutal dictator" they say they are replacing. Look at Ukraine, the UN recently ruled the previous pro-Russian govt was not guilty of corruption, yet the Poroshenko/Yatsenuk govt is hopelessly corrupt and literally milking the country dry by siphoning the foreign loans into their own pockets.
History repeats because the UN is a giant circle jerk since the UNSC can veto all democracy, and NATO is the official militaristic cabal that gives an air of legitimacy to western imperialism.
I'm just glad the Yemeni are kicking Saudi ass, and the Syrians are killing those expensive mercenaries to take back their country... QUICK_EDIT
It's why the strict Catholic, anti-freedom Bernie Sanders
I don't know much about Sanders, but even a few seconds of googling will tell you that's wrong. He's a secular jew, although his wife is roman catholic. _________________
You're right, don't know where I pulled that from, maybe his wife as you say; My apologies I was wrong. Still the rest make him the lesser of 3 evils. (No one is going to vote for another Bush, and Ted Cruz seems to be at the sidelines while the Republicans hide from Trump. Independents will never be voted for sadly.) _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT

Nope. I've never heard of it.
But a political party that directs the country's international relationship to bind with Cuba (Fidel and Raul Castro), Venezuela (Hugo Chavez and Maduro), Argentina (when Kirchners had the power there), Bolivia (Evo Morales), Iran (when Ahmadinejad was in charge of it), Lybia (when Kadafi was the supreme ruler there), among few other choices.... clearly isn't aligned with NATO at all. So, no I don't think they are their puppet at all. I am not against keeping relations with these countries and these creatures (despite my strong disapproval for all of them), but priorizing international relationships with them like what Brazil has been doing is a great mistake. In this point of view, they even managed to be even more stupid than the NATO puppets (PSDB). The president Dilma Roussef has once said that we are supposed to negotiate with ISIS. I wish he had taken her words a bit more seriously and decided to negotiate with them alone... just her, with no support from the federal police or inteligence agents... Maybe she could bring Temer (vice president), Eduardo Cunha (current leader of the deputies), Renan Calheiros (senate leader), Lula (ex-president of the republic who helped to get her elected) and José Dirceu (ex-leader from PT who stole billions from Petrobras and other state companies) with her... it would be perfect. QUICK_EDIT
Republicans are moronic troglodytes, Democrats are pansy ass morons... same shit, different day. I am so sick of the circus that is American politics. It's a laugh and makes us look even stupider. I love America and helping it improve means getting clowns from the "major" parties the ztype out of office. So out of touch with reality.
Sadly, Sanders is the only mainstream candidate I can tolerate. He's at least close to my views but still not that close.
I just pray we get the least shitty of the candidates. At least that will MOSTLY prevent some of the stupid shit from happening. _________________ KGR | AT

Actually I wasn't suggesting Brazil was aligned with NATO, but not being aligned also makes you a target for the financial manipulators.
I know a lot of the industry left, but we're talking about industry that is used to being the ones exploiting people, many of whom are in the same circles as all the American elites. These free-trade deals they keep ramming through everywhere allows them to play each country against the other, all to prevent anyone from raising living standards or wages successfully.
You already know the IMF and World Bank are really just weapons the elites use to bankrupt and privatize whole countries. What you probably don't know is they often fund riots, or outright pay for the campaigns of Washington-friendly politicians... even if they don't topple the populist govt, they can raise hell and make the incumbent weaker over time. You already had the Americans admit Ukraine's uprising/coup cost $5bn, and that's not including the previous one.
I'm sure you know how many Latin dictators were installed/funded by the CIA/Pentagon/State dept, but they also employ private corporations to do their dirty work sometimes too. Left-wing/Right-wing doesn't have the same meaning it used to, it's all about getting a brutal strongman in power who will be so corrupt, that he will depend on the drip-feed of foreign money, and not have the power to get off his leash.
You remember the CIA abducted Chavez when their handful of snipers and 5000-7000 paid rioters couldn't oust him? The only reason they brought him back was because the population demanded it.
In a place like Syria, Assad has as much popular support too, despite all the provocation, paid rioters, sectarian manipulation, Assad still won a landslide 87% of the vote. That was when he doomed his country to invasion, that was when America said "enough" and sent all the money/weaponry to the terrorists. The terrorists are mostly foreign fighters, bought and paid for by the Saudis, trained in Turkey and Jordan, commanded by CIA and Mossad and other intel operatives.
Brazil as I see it is manipulated externally, as much as it seems like corruption, the question is always, who is the drug dealer for the junkie. I don't have all the answers, but there's a saying in the business world, "the worst thing in the world is not being carried by Walmart, the second worst thng is to be carried by Walmart", meaning friend (vassal) or foe (independent), you still suffer.

At the moment I'd be plenty happy if we don't get nuked in a WWIII during the next 4 years, I don't even dare to dream about a longer grace period.
US, EU, Russia, China, the rest, it doesn't matter, although in somewhat different ways, to a certain degree all of them are a lost cause. Too much greed for cash and power, corruption, bureaucracy, egoism, arrogance, short-sightedness, religious crazyness, hatred and flat out incompetence. I don't believe in miracles, and without one the only open question is when it will all come crashing down for good (though I guess in a way it already started, we're just still in the acceleration phase, with the concrete wall slowly drawing closer).
