    Why is it that the internet can join forces to name a 9-figure boat ‘Boaty McBoatface’, vote in a goon to play in the NHL all star game, give a Rick Astley video 200,000,000 hits 30 years after it first sucked etc etc….but we can’t get a campaign going to write in a capable candidate when the parties refuse to give you one?

    you might have answered your own question indirectly ...

    it's not the choices that are the problem ... it's the electorate ... is it any wonder that a populace that prioritizes things that you wrote have Donald Trump as a potential POTUS!?

    Can you write in any name? I say fuck it....write in Rick Astley and have the election declared invalid (however that would work). Throw the whole system into disarray until the politicians get their shit together.
    I have always maintained that real change cannot happen in baby steps. It would take centuries. It won't happen until the western based world economy completely falls apart and the average citizens of the west begin losing their houses and jobs en masse. The electorate will not give a shit until we are made to live like the third world. At some point this will happen....it is already slowly happening. We're just being buttered up for a fall guy (Islam atm) so the cycle of using war when we need an economic boost can continue. This cycle will end when the government asks for war funding and half the country is already homeless, or when the BRICS nations decide to stand their ground....or the planet decides to shake us off.
    Yes, I'm a cynic. But I think my cynicism is grounded in reality.

    who are you going to vote for, gf?
    the union is backing Clinton but I just can't so it will either be Sanders or Trump......I don't where Trump stands on union issues but being a business man he may not like unions so much.
    and I just need to play this silly ass game with the union and the company 10 more years and I out !

    I dunno, but I think Boaty McBoatface is a spectacular name for a boat, lol.

    So, refreshing is the term you use for someone openly displaying racism, xenophobia, bigotry, and misogyny?
    I call it bullshit. My alcoholic, asshole of an uncle "speaks his mind" too, do you want to write him in??

    No doubt! I'm getting so tired of the Trump supporters talking about how he "speaks his mind."

    That came off pretty harsh. I guess I am just sick and tired of people treating Trump like a benign joke. Our resident trollmonkey thinks it's hilarious...
    It's not funny.

    But you do think he is a benign joke though right?
    Who is the resident trollmonkey? I think trump is very funny.
    Feel the Trump.

    Sorry, but the minute Trump hesitated on David Duke with a hint and a nod, that was enough to become a benign joke to people with any sort of morality.

    You think he is not harmful in effect? I know what you are trying to say but a lot of people think he is a harmless joke of a runner.

    Like a bad hemorrhoid removal. Which is what we might want to do with a certain presidential candidate. But I jest. The voters will see to that.

    Hillary is not a viable option. In fact that alternative is downright awful...

    You can post all the after-the-fact BS you'd like. I saw the interview live.. Funny how only that question was "hard to hear"...

    She's not my first choice, that's for sure, but if she does get in it will be "business as usual".
