    See title.

    Personally, I strongly support Jill Stein.

    Reasons why: Clinton is a Republican (Democrat In Name Only), cannot be trusted, has a terrible record on virtually everything, and is an actual human rights disaster on foreign policy. Trump is a Republican, cannot be trusted, says terrible things on virtually everything, and is a disaster in general (although he IS entertaining). Johnson is actually crazy (he supports the TPP) and sounds like a used car salesman. Stein can be trusted, has a great record on virtually everything, has far and away the best foreign policy out of any candidate, and bonus! she really means what says when she states "I oppose the TPP".

    Lol today at my football game my coach said to me, "you can go right-wing if you think it'd help us win".

    Literally Hillary Clinton in a nutshell.

    I'm a reluctant Stein supporter as I recognise there's like no chance of her winning but I'd still vote for her. If Clinton needs Bernie/Stein supporters to win the election then maybe the Democratic Party should've elected someone who can beat Trump on their own merits.

    I'm terrified for America, and knowing how much of a pushover politician Trudeau is, for all of North America.

    Considering all the s*it that's going on I may want to illegally emigrate to Mexico and call myself 'Juan'.

    What about the other 2 big T's? I feel like ttip and tisa will be more harmfull, since they affect a greater share of the global gdp.

    And yes, i do support Stein over any of those..

    But i will be undecided until Noam Chomsky tells the public he is not running :grinning:

    I'm far too lazy to write another paragraph, so here's a copy-past from an earlier thread:

    Why on earth would you, as a professed communist, buy into the lesser evil illusion and support a crony capitalist, corporatist, science denying, interventionist, ultra hawkish progressive and communist anti Christ like Hillary Clinton? What is so abhorrent about Donald Trump that makes Clinton look remotely okay?

    Because Trump has talked against an entire religion with more than a billion members based on a few hundred thousand members of said religion have acted bad. That's ridiculous, it's not like I bash every single Christian because there are Christian extremists.

    Got to choose the lesser of two evils, I don't like either the slightest.

    Question is though: what if there was no Jill Stein? Gary Johnson or Hillary? I've read up a bit on Johnson's policies but I wouldn't be sure.

    This is why we have a broken system. Choose the candidate you like most, don't vote for bull**** just because it smells better than horse****.

    So a racist and corrupt candidate is better than just a corrupt one, then? Both probably have a hundred more downsides, but Hillary won't create a mayhem of deportations and bans.

    Hillary. The libetarian party would be a complete disaster. Take climate change for example. I would argue that Johnson would threaten the entire excistens of the human spieces, atleast in any decent form. Take an other one, our economy. Letting kapitalism run wild is not vise. As jon stewart said in a debate against o'rilley in 2012, "i mean, what could go wrong?".

    I'm tempted to agree with you. There's an argument to be made that the government should be the rule of the people so by and large letting people do what they want is a good idea as its their own choices, and it doesn't have to be cycled through government. But human nature is dastardly thing and people are wild animals. Like any wild animal, we need to be reined in.

    If I was American I would [ IMG REMOVED BY ME]
    Because I really don't think any candidates are good, so I'd like to see Trump destroy the economy. The only reason I don't care is because I'm English.

    Also if Img counts as Meme plz no perm ban Roke I fna


    EDIT: On second thoughts Id rather not risk a Perm-ban, so I removed the image. It was of a thing just saying 'VOTE TRUMP '16', but it's not worth the risk.

    Ah, a Marxist that believes in the spook of a static human nature. It would be wise for you to brush up on your understanding of Dialectical Materialism. Also, nice reasoning for unbridled authoritarianism.
    That is quite some nice revisionism you have there. Also, evil is a spook.
    You're a Communist that supports restrictions on gun ownership? This is such a common thing to hear from uneducated and young Marxists. Please garner a greater understanding of the tenets of Marxism before you find it necessary to speak any further.
    Holy ****, you don't even seem to have a minute grasp of Dialectical Materialism and of what it entails. You seriously need to brush up on your theory. A lot of what you have been saying has been going against the most basic principles of Marxism.

    Ah, a blablablabla, who blablaba blablabla. You clearly have to brush up your understanding of blablablabla. A lot of what you have been saying has been going against the basic principles of Blalablabla. More blablabla.

    You see, we can all use our fancy terms, but there's no need to. It takes attention away from the arguments. Your post has a total lack of them.

    This. I agree with this.

    Holy ****, you don't even seem to have a minute grasp of condescension and how much it pisses people off!

    Simply because we think of ourselves as a subscriber to a certain political standpoint, doesn't mean we must adhere to all of the requirements of that standpoint or be lectured by you because our perhaps "Marxist" views aren't always 100% to the word what Karl Marx wrote.

    Newsflash: sometimes we describe ourselves as what best fits, not what we are in our entirety. If I say to you I'm a Pragmatic Democratic Socialist, which I like to think of myself as, that doesn't mean you assume all of my political opinions and get to lecture me about how uneducated I am if I have an opinion you don't think fits inside the parameters of that term.

    And thanks for pointing my reasoning for unbridled authoritarianism. Your post was quite good reasoning for why Google dictionary is a detriment to our society, as any person like you can look up big words and spout rubbish about our lack of understanding without really adding anything to the discussion.
