The only thing that could have saved Trump did save Trump. He was asked a question, which put an end to what he was saying.

Those Trump clips are genuinely funny. Such an incoherent, rambling word salad tossing moron.

But the word salads are all entertaining.

The biggest morons are the ones who think there's only two options to vote for.

 

[SM]

Word Salad time.

What a moronic, tiny handed, word salad uttering white failure.

You're right, there's only one valid option.

Nonsense .

Vote Greens, Vote Libertarian. Vote Independent. Don't vote at all.

All valid options.

Not voting is perhaps the most moronic thing you could advocate doing. RFK Jr has shown himself to be as dangerous and crazy as Trump so he's not a valid option either.

No, voting for either of the two major parties is the most moronic thing you could do.

And then you ignore all the other valid options.

You don't think voting Green or Libertarian is an option over the duopoly?

I mean Trump didn't think so with the Libertarian's.

Not a valid option, it's as dumb as throwing away your vote. Have you seen their policies?

So the only party that anyone should vote for is a vile corrupt one?

 

[Bostonian]

So the party with a gay presidential candidate is an option then?

They boo the shit out of Dems too.

Spirited lot.

I love the "Walz is so radical" when it's like... ensuring kids are well fed at school.

Is this an actual Fox graphic? Or has someone edited this.

This all sounds great.

I've responded to many posts that have different opinions to mine.

Conveniently though, or perhaps it’s “strategic ambiguity”, you chose to ignore this one from Cruyff. Looking forward to the answer to this one:

Erm, haven't posts you've made on here previously shown your disrespect and equality toward women?

 

[glenferry23]

Wtf?

 

[Loonerty]

Haha what the ****

Damn kids, get a job if you want food.

In most countries it makes sense to vote for a candidate who best represents your views but the US system makes a vote outside the two main parties somewhat wasted.

George Washington remains the only independent to become president. Roosevelt got 27% of the popular vote in 1912 but was really a Republican. Perot was probably the nearest we've seen. At one stage he was ahead of Bush and Clinton in the polls and won the debates. There was some shenanigans, possibly blackmail, which caused him to drop out of the race for a while and ruined his bid. He ended up with 18.9% of the vote.

Depending where you live, you might not even be able to vote for your choice of president. The Democrats and the Republicans are the only parties that appear on the ballots in all 51 jurisdictions. And not all states allow write-ins. So, for example, you wouldn't be able to vote for JFK Jnr in Mississippi.

Congress is the same. In the current US Senate there are four independents and they all caucus with the Democrats.

That's exactly the mindset that the major parties rely on to keep the duopoly unchallenged.

If people started voting third party at local levels and it then spread to state level with independent Senators starting to be sent to Washington the balance of power and accountability would change.

We've seen in recent years how close the senate has been, throw in a bunch of independents to the mix and people would start seeing their votes actually mean something.

Just in case you missed it again. Considering you were able to reply 5 hours later to a different post.

He's busy campaigning for Nigel Farrage, give him a break.

No I don't think people should vote for Trump.
