    Don't worry, even if your wish to ruin US by supporting Trump will come true, it sill not going to reach the irrelevance of Romania.

    And you are supporting Trump? I guess that is because you want to see the US doing "worst and worst each year". It all makes sense now.

    How many Trump supporters do it because they want to see America burn? It's just a different spin on that demographic.

    And then they wonder why some ppl in Western Europe are getting tired to pay for them.

    For the first time in my life, I think the third/fourth party guys have a chance this year. And I'm actually starting to buy in to the ridiculous notion that Bernie Bros might vote Trump, just so raise their middle finger to the DNC.

    Can't these folks find an island to go to and let that burn instead? I simply don't understand the mentality of voting for someone so that people suffer.

    I say we shove them all into Texas (allowing non-Trump supporters to flee first). Then let the state break away from the United States, and let them fight their war with Mexico on their own.

    I actually like Texas except for some of the folks politics so we can't do that. I think we let Peter Thiel build his island in the ocean and these folks move there. And if they want something to burn they can go ahead and burn down their own shit.

    If they didn't behave like a bunch of childish dudebros, the epithet wouldn't be necessary.

    Wasn't Glenn Beck wanting his own island nation too?
    Maybe they can hook all up?
    Give them Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Hannity and O'Reilly along on the trip too.

    Then we can go full Louis Armstrong.

    what a wonderful world..

    I take it that by "behaving like a bunch of childish dudebros" you mean stuff like "voting for a socialist" or "not falling in line behind Hillary", right? That's called democracy, though. They're free to vote for whomever they want.

    As for any other "behavior", most of it is bullshit and propaganda peddled by DNC-bought (bought with the currency of access) establishment media outlets and trolls paid for by pro-Hillary superPACs. "Chair throwing" and other such BS that never actually took place.

    What has taken place, though, is Hillary supporters spewing horrible vitriol towards Bernie supporters from day one, and the DNC screwing Bernie's voters, delegates and campaign volunteers over constantly. That kind of treatment makes people pissed off, which is why they may behave like they're pissed off.

    I'd be pretty odd for me, a self-identified socialist, to criticise them for doing as such.

    Having served as a delegate for my state caucus, I can assure you that the 'behaviour' is extremely true.

    They deserve every inch of said finger.

    Yet you believe Hillary deserves their vote?

    I'm just asking, because I find this kind of "Screw you, asshole! Now vote for my candidate!" -mentality very confusing.

Forget about the individual that is HRC because it really doesn't matter how you feel about her as a person and start thinking about how to vote to get as much as you can of what you want out of the government. Simply put, protest voting isn't going to get them anything except President Trump and President Trump is just going to change the Republican party to be as volatile and crazy as he is, just as capitulating to the Tea Party in the first place made them crazy. On the other hand, voting for Hillary might actually accomplish some things they're happy with and won't run the risk of getting things like same-sex marriage overturned.
    abortion laws reverted... millions losing health care... religious anti gay agenda renewed.
    possibly minimum wage abolished.
    and yep, as many as 3 arch conservative supreme court justices...
    Good night Lorelei.. And all just because, Hillary is allegedly such a bad person.

    Why would Hillary get any of her SCotUS nominations through? Obama sure didn't.
