licketysplit Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 P.S. Everyone is shallow. Men and women are shallow. PERIOD. Sure, we all possess negative traits, and they all surface at various points. But what are the dominant traits for these candidates? Clinton seems to be dominated by greed and a need to be in control. Trump seems to be dominated by ego and condescension. Can't disagree with this. Trump is no paragon, but his brand of shallow ranks lower on the deplorable meter for me.
HoonDing Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Hillary's gonna lose. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

To channel GuardDog, what about Johnson? GD doesn't agree, but in a two party system the only logical choice is to vote for the lesser of two evils. If by election day Johnson looks like a he has a chance, then by all means. Personally I don't like most of his ideas though.

BruceVC Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 As opposed to being 'likeable' if you are pro Hillary the candidate who brags about laughing at rapists, mass murdering people, and someone who views blacks as nothing more than votes but has no plans to help them.

How does something this big even end up as a voice vote? I mean, this is a fairly massive change in international policy.

Enoch Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) It's all about the feels with Democrats. That's an odd way to characterize an election where the Democrat is a low-charisma center-left technocrat with detailed policy proposals to back up every line of her rather tepid stump speeches, while the "republican" is an egomaniacal compulsive liar whose entire pitch is RAGE and FEAR that "only he" can address, using means that he won't or can't explain to the electorate.

Bit misleading to call a voice vote unanimous. How does something this big even end up as a voice vote? I mean, this is a fairly massive change in international policy. Everyone knew it was going to pass, the reasons to support it are all gut-level nationalism, and the reasons to doubt it are all nuanced and difficult to explain in an election campaign. So the opponents chickened out and let it slide by, with the prominent exception of a President who (a) actually has to deal with its effects on international relations and (b) doesn't have to face the electorate again. We'll see if any of them grow a spine on the veto override vote. (Not likely.) Edited September 24, 2016 by Enoch 2
Hurlshort Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 I don't get how it is nuanced to say it is bad to start letting private citizen sue countries. That seems like a terrible precedent to allow. Do they also get to sue the US for their work in Afghanistan in the 80's? Do victims of ISIS get to sue the US for destabilizing Iraq and siding with the rebels in Syria?
Wrath of Dagon Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 They would only be able to sue us in their country's courts, which means no more business for them with America. I guess with someone like Obola, who actually settles lawsuits with enemy countries, it could be a valid strategy. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Ah, so you want the US to cut off trade with any country that allows their citizens to sue us, but you are fine with US citizens suing other countries. Well played sir.
