    If this whole sexual assault thing hadn't come up I think him winning would have been entirely possible.

    Ah, no. It was rigged the whole time.
    The election is not rigged against Trump, lmao. I can't believe you actually think that.
    My guess is the election is rigged by Trump to be against Trump. I really don't think he wants the job- just the attention/ego ride.
    Bingo...I've been saying that for a while...a billionaire who is causing shit, or him and the clintons rigged the election?
    Definitely the latter.

    So you truly believe that Trump is acting on Clinton's behalf still? I know it's a theory that's out there, but I'm surprised some of you are taking it seriously with literally no evidence to rely on. I would personally need some actual proof of that... and if there were some, I wouldn't be shocked.
    I would need proof to prove that the election is fair. Certainly it is not. There is literally no proof to prove that Individual people (actual people who don't work in govt) votes matter anymore, but there is plenty of proof via emails showing how this game of Clinton's is rigged for her. See the Podesta thread.

    Feel free to find proof that the theory is wrong. As for me looking for proof, I'm not even going to attempt to find proof that either theory exist...probably neither theory can be proved even close to a 100%...but I'm convinced he definitely never wanted the job, I doubt he thought it'd get this far...either way I think the Americans got played big time to end up with these two candidates, but truthfully I'm having fun with it, a country that goes around bullying, meddling and war mongering the way they do are getting exactly what they deserve...

    I'm talking about Trump working on Clinton's behalf though.
    And I have read that thread, and no, I don't feel that the election is rigged. I think those emails just show politicians being politicians trying to win a campaign - both sides have an even playing field, and one is just playing a way better game in the insane arena of US politics. I feel like the primary process is completely fucked up and needs to be addressed though.

    Yeah its just a theory...

    I think the primary process will be addressed, so a Trump and Sanders can not make a serious run in the future.

    The emails show how a campaign can be run, which is separate from actual voting. You're suggesting that "votes don't matter", so a scenario where 75% voted for Sanders, half of those ballots would be shredded?

    When I hear stories from friends about anxiety and worry and read all these stories about people feeling super uncertain about so many things- and for good reason- I think, shit man, wouldn't it be nice to have some leaders who really and truly give a rats ass at least about people's well being and a healthier planet. We could use that solid platform to swim to in rough seas. That and other people who care (lots of them here) and busload of faith to get by (thank you, Mr. Lou Reed).

    "WASHINGTON—With a dozen days left until Election Day, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are refusing to commit to working with each other after the election, putting in question the winner’s ability to heal the country’s wounds after a volatile presidential race."

    Work with each other after the election? Of course not! Why would they work when they can...

    why would they work together? if Trump loses, he's back to being a private citizen. if he wins, HRC is out of a job.

    Yeah really. It's not like Trump is going to be a member of the federal government or any government when he loses. Talk about a non-story meant to create pointless concern. I guess the media really needs a rape or embezzlement charge or something. They have run out of material.

    Last I checked I am free of this disorder.

    Why wouldn't you be? Seems like something that would only be applicable to Americans, no? I find the whole thing distressing, but am still aware of my necessary detachment caused by not being able to vote and living under a government and society that is not suffering from all this bullshit (we will just be unwitting victims of the results). I am very concerned and obviously enthralled, but wouodn't be so presumptuous to claim that these worries run as deep as they do for some Americans.

    I think if I were not an American I would find this U.S. election years distressing. This country has enormous impact on what happens to the rest of the world.

    Which leads to the question, how is that so? We've depleted many of our natural resources. We have massive debt. We hardly produce anything tangible anymore. We don't even produce the kind of wonderful cultural output like we did in the past. Yet somehow we still maintain this major influence of the civilized world and our elected president will still exert a major influence until we finally grind ourselves into the ground.

    Great question.
    I can only say that Trump has openly called out Canada to pull some more weight.
    Having said that I think America is getting tired.
    Capitalism has run amok in that country - it even has invaluable Canadians living their fulltime.
    American elections are just ridiculous all round.
    Super pacs? WTF
