You can't seriously think social conservatism is a winning issue in the current political climate. Even the GOP realized they lost on social issues.
    Said what in Europe, European countries have a Muslim population of like 5%, for some reason the right makes people believe that we live in a country with ShariaLaws, just a few mosques isnt a big deal

    So call me crazy if I don't trust the government with my rights.
    Your rights exist because of the government, so you don't have much of a choice.

Kinda like a hooker if you think about it.

    So sucks to be you (american) right now.
    Not really. Even if Hillary is elected, the worse that will happen to me is I will fly my flag at half mast. But otherwise I will continue to live the life most humans on this earth only dream of.

    But I do agree the choices this coming election sucks.

    If you feel like you're a misogynist for voting for Trump, the issue might not be with the candidate but how you perceive him.

    Honestly nobody is going to argue against that

    He will win so much and so big and so hard and....you will ask him to stop winning. No Mr. Trump, we can't take it anymore. Harder, harder, faster, faster!

    I'm not voting for Trump, but it has nothing to do with any non-existent misogyny. I'm not sure what you're driving at.

    Natural rights are those that are not dependent on the laws, customs, or beliefs of any particular culture or government, and therefore universal and inalienable. They are granted simply by existing the Goverment doesn't give you shit.

    This is not actually a reason why he isn't a respectable choice.

    But Nathreim is correct. May as well stay home then to vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning. Trump is not likely to win, but he could.

    Rights are not something we naturally achieve by existing. It's entirely a human concept. If you live in the wild with zero government, you do as you please. If you live in a dictatorship country (or the like), you're rights are entirely limited. If our government suddenly takes out free speech, we lose that right.

    Trump and Clinton are complete degenerates. I don't vote for degenerates regardless of their actual chances of winning. Just a personal policy.

    This is such nonsense. There are many uses of a vote. And one is to protest the current options. Another is to actually vote for someone who represents what you actually believe as opposed to one of the two who might be closest. This "you must vote one of the two party's" silliness is presumed on the basis that you, not the one voting, knows best how to use their vote. You don't.

    Not totally true. Even within animal groups the biggest baddest alpha males dominate and they decide who mates with what female. And in some cases there is a alpha female. So what you are saying is true if you lived on a private island with only you or you as a male alpha.

    Granted, we have certain human rights in the US for example because the government's ( constitution ) law grants them. But our constitution acknowledges we are born with certain rights given to us by the creator. As the wording actually says. But of course those can be taken away by a dictator or tyrannical government. So you are not totally wrong.

    I understand that and you have the right to vote for whom you want or not to vote at all. In Some countries they do not have that right by law.

    It is nonsense to you because you do not think like I do. For example, if I am going to vote for Trump or stay home and not vote, that is in effect a vote for Hillary. If I vote for say a independent when I would have voted for Trump rather than Hillary, the results are the same. Hillary gets more votes than Trump does.
