The US Election 2016, Part IX
He has filed the application, but it got stuck somewhere in the corridors at the ministry of Truth & Broadcasting. Rumors are abound that he probably breached the independent thought protocol and now the big club is petty over their supposed Golem not being one at all. Source: http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/WikiLeaks-Clinton-Promote-Carson/2016/10/11/id/752705/ Is anyone supposed to be surprised or outraged by that? Anyone not a cynic or ingrained in Edward Bernays views of humanity. But that's beside the point.

Like, say, for example Trump. Sure, that's why they are all in favor for Hillary.

Trump ain't part of the "big club" if that's what you're thinking. The big club being the political elite in the US and the world, their financers like Wall Street, Soros, Rothshields, Rockefellers, assorted hedge-fund billionares and international bankers, old royalty, with their Bilderberg meetings, Trilateral commissions and World economic forums at Davos. No Trump is more like Rodney Dangerfields character in "Caddyshack" and he is messing with the plans of the big country club has for their agenda golf-course. Hillary however...

A good explanation indeed....but why is he supporting Hillary? He is speaking of the people and the area that he is from after all.

^The benefits of not watching TV. I have no idea on who that guy is, but he looks like someone who would get things done without complaining about the weather or having to get up early.

Hey, a more accurate political compass. There's room for everyone here! I had nowhere else to post it, so why not here while waiting for election night?

Well, would you look at that. Bruce turned a thread about the US election into one about SA. Well done!

Empathy is a thing, though. The world you live in is the result of history. If you can't see that the American Indians got an incredibly raw deal, and they are still struggling because of it, that's not good. Doesn't mean you need to hang your head about it all day long, but it also seems pretty bad to just write it off as ancient history. In SA though, they seem to burn history instead: http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21693278-students-are-throwing-colonial-art-pyre-whiteness-burning

You right, I didnt explain the relevance to this thread I wanted to say at the moment there are several global populist movements in most countries. What is relevant to all of us who live in Western countries is these populist movements are something that manifests itself in our countries in different forms and creates degrees of chaos, anxiety and sometimes depression or concern for the future What I wanted to highlight is this whole USA election and the general levels of frustration from many of US forum friends is understandable ....but imagine living in SA, you have people believing you can recreate science in an African prism because the current education system isnt designed with an African consideration and doesn't represent " South African values " Its nonsense of course Uh, branding every emerging movement as populist will bite you in the ass in the long. Putting the arise with Duterte in the Philippines with South African blacks claiming that witchdoctor ju-ju belongs in the university curriculum is superficial at best.

Stein is....interesting. On one hand she has picked a VP that thinks that protesting against the attack on Charlie Hebdo is a sign of white supremacy, but on the other hand she supports Trump's foreign policy. Maybe she just likes everyone. Perhaps a stalinist?

Agreed, the basket of deplorables are people too. I never argued for the deportation of deplorables. What would you want to do with them without turning the situation into a violent one? Install economic policies that actually help with their living situation? Poor rural white people have been shat on by both parties for a long time; no wonder they're growing angry and desperate. Give them someone else than racist buffoons who upholds their interests and whom they can see as a credible representative of themselves, and maybe their support for racist buffoons will dwindle. As the article say, there is no one else even if the author goes overboard with his policies being racist. Elect Hillary and let the cycle down the drain continues. And how will Trump stop this? Also, can always choose neither. Choosing neither will still elect either even if you have different priorities (libertanian/green) or no interest at all. Trump is simply a sign of the times, because otherwise he would not have gathered support in the first place. Just like Obama was back in the day after the politics of Bush and his neocons. As for Trump, he wants to throw the illegals out, build the wall and focus on business that will (maybe) be in the economic interest of the mostly the white middle class, but effectively most americans despite their ethnic background. By having effective border control he will not only hinder the perpetual inflow of low-skilled labour undercutting the lower and middle class but also soften the demographic displacement which is a ticking timebomb if it isn't slowed down to sane levels. But most importantly, the most paramount reason of them all still stands. I want you to listen very, very carefully: He is the kryptonite to SJWs and their salt and tears will refresh the tree of sanity. By If he fails in his goals, then atleast there was a chance to try.

You asked what I would do, not whom I'd vote for. I was referring to the people mentioned in the article you linked.
