Sometimes all it takes is saying you agree with something to get people's votes. Many people don't look at a practical means of achieving a goal, but rather the intentions. Donald Trump may not actually back up what he said, but because he said it people believe that he will somehow do it.
I believe Donald Trump's willingness to say whatever will get him elected, as well as his demagoguery, are nearly his entire appeal.
Trump flipped on a few issues Abortion and Assault Rifle ban, but Hillary has Flipped on Nearly Every issue (except abortion and assault rifle ban ironically enough). Honestly I might have been behind Bernie as long as he stuck to his guns on being anti-TPP/anti-Nafta etc. but I just can't vote for Hillary I'd much rather have Trump.
As someone who grew up in a post-socialist, post-communist environment I have a very visceral reaction to all things Marx. His ideas are all nice on paper, but the premise of living in a constant war of the classes doesn't appeal to me. It's such an outdated concept, these days you can ascend beyond those artificial divisions. I'd rather live in a world where I can pave my way up, one in which having a good idea and capitalizing on it is a mark of success. I feel comfortable dismissing Marx because every attempt at putting his ideas into reality has either crashed and burned or became a totalitarian nightmare. Every fan of Marx should take a hard look at themselves, then Cuba or North Korea, then at themselves again and see if they're still smiling. I'm not even adding China into the mix since it's currently more capitalist than many western countries, however it never quite got rid of the "totalitarian fuckery" bit of the equation. I also can't side with hippies because I don't care for the environment all that much and I value money, so we have no common ground whatsoever.Sorry, didn't mean to trigger you into pulling out your effigy and stabbing it with needles. That's the problem today with American discourse or lack there of, is you bring up certain words or symbols and people will default to certain clichés and stereotypes and never hear the other person out. Sports statistics, recipes, video games, and other forms of meaningless trivia are fare game to discuss at no end, but as soon as someone proposes the idea that we collectively arrived where we are at today, by the foot steps we took yesterday...
...bam, shut down as if a mad man talking non-sense.
Well I am sorry, but in order for a building to be built the first brick must be laid. I have offered plenty of information for one to take into consideration and research on their own time. If at the end of that process the still feel to be in a position to mock me, then I would hope that they could do it in a scientific and rational manner.
Take back America, take back the world, SLAY ALL SOCIAL SCIENTISTS!!!!
Actually, he still stayed true to his promises. He said he would support Hillary if he didn't win and he supports her.
Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders are also in alignment on policy 95℅ of the time, while Sanders and Trump are total opposites on policy. Why a Sanders supporter wouldn't vote for Clinton in November is beyond me.
I would personally vote for Jill Stein, but sadly I know that would end up being a wasted vote.
Who knows how many people are in the same boat as you and aren't voting for Jill Stein nor Gary Johnson, keeping them around 4% and 8% respectively in a four-way race, when they actually have more support that that? This is why we need something like instant-runoff voting, not to mention the elimination of the Electoral College.
Not necessarily...
I don't feel betrayed at all. Bernie has a plan& it's just all coming together. polls released where Hillarys # fell pic.twitter.com/ycDeWUNSYU

Secretary Clinton is the nominee. She has a majority of the popular vote (55%), a majority of pledged delegates (54%), a majority of superdelegates (78%), and a majority of total delegates (58%). In order for Senator Sanders to overturn the will of the people and get the Democratic nomination, he would have to convince 489 (73%) of the 667 superdelegates who either support Secretary Clinton or haven't supported anybody yet to support him. Even if he got all of the undecided superdelegates, Senator Sanders would still have to convince 68% of Secretary Clinton's 560 superdelegates to switch to him. Most of her superdelegates are establishment Democrats who would never switch to Senator Sanders, and a large number of superdelegates aren't going to be persuaded to go against the winner of the popular vote. Secretary Clinton is also the only Democratic candidate with the money and general election campaign ready to take on Donald Trump.
It's one of those things, where we all know we just need more of us to vote, but they don't make enough to get out there. In fact, I actually learned about Jill Stein back in the 2012 election when I took the same test and got 98% agreeing with her platform.
I'm not sure, however, how I feel about someone who is willing to unnecessarily split the Democratic vote for no discernible gain.
