US Election 2016 Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[paralleluniverse]

Because this isn't the primaries and there isn't a "Republican Election 2016 - Donald Trump" and a "Democratic Election 2016 - Hillary Clinton", there is only a US Election 2016.

The separate threads are emblematic of the mod's leftist safe space culture. They are attempting to promote niceness over political debate. Clinton supporters, go to this space here, Trump supporters, go to that space there (and what about 3rd party candidates?). Avoid contact, avoid conflict, a safe space for everyone.

Here we do not designate a space for Trump discussion and a separate space for Clinton discussion, here we discuss the US election, as one complete and open debate.

You can thanks me later.

Or perhaps they have them separate to try to stop it devolving into a shit slinging match

They kind of already have devolved into shit slinging matches.

1) Bashing mods isn't a way to keep your thread open.
2) Only mods can create official megathreads.
3) Next time try starting your thread in a less antagonistic manner. Snide dismissal slanted towards one side (with extra thrown around for everyone) isn't going to get a productive conversation going.

Megathreads are idea born braindead.

So instead of 2 threads where the pros and cons of each candidate can be discussed, now we'll have 3? One of which will have no clear purpose other than being an ever derailing sideshow?

No "thanks" you.

If you think those threads are "safe spaces", then you've never been in either thread, or met the community here. But, please peddle that garbage some more.

[Crissi]

Our current mega threads are sufficient. You also started the thread badly.
