[Merged]US election stuff

[LondonManc]

Not a wailing liberal here ... just amazed how utterly unsuitable a person has just been elected president. Hillary just as bad ...

I think Americans have voted for the better of the two; the amazement should be reserved for these being the best two candidates that the parties believed should stand. That said, it's a big pointer towards the frustration with the current establishment and the result shows that the people have had enough of said liberal elite.

No because regardless of left or right wing stance, the US police have a race issue that would make 1970's South Africa proud.

They also seem to have an issue with people killing cops. In fact they have an issue with killing full stop. But we only get to hear about Blacks being killed

Black Lives Matter, innit bruv?

An endorsement from KH is fairly damning in itself. And he has Farage blowing his Trump-et too.

Play the arguments not the person making them. After all if they are ridiculous someone with such a great intellect as yours should have little difficulty dissing them

If you like your president to possess the following qualities then yes I agree:

racist
misogynistic
compulsive liar
self-serving
cowardly (draft dodger)
bullying (of the disabled no less for e.g)
xenophobic

The evidence suggest he's a shallow, charmless narcissist. The only ray of hope is that he actually has no real clue on how to deliver on his election promises.

Stop sitting on the fence. Do you rate the guy or not?

Oikophobia

Learnt a new word today:

Oikophobia, the irrational tendency to be righteously furious about democratic decisions made by fellow citizens. Usually characterised by suggesting that anyone who differs from one’s own perception of a liberal consensus is thick, badly informed, poorly educated, racist and white working class.

Or you could vote for someone who:

wants to invade Iran because she doesn't agree with their regime
is prepared to go to war with Russia for no good reason that I can see
self-serving cancels out
compulsive liar cancels out
cowardly - openly condoning the assassination of opponents ("droning" Assange) isn't?
cheated to win the nomination, as revealed in many email leaks
was knowingly funded by the same Middle East backers of ISIS
Let's not forget the ongoing email server case

But yeah, a brash entrepreneur that wants to put 'murica first is much worse.
