The US Presidential Election Thread

Is that Orazio Fantasia in a new career move doing the interviewing?

Bit of a reach

I'm pretty comfortable with the view that anyone getting religious tattoos is a nutbat who should not be allowed near power

Southern Cross ones are ok though… right?

Hopefully he bans pharma advertising.

It is out of control. The day I was sick in bed in NYC two years back every second ad on Tv was pharma and I’m talking everything, not just headache pills like here

Yep it is crazy over there . We were so amazed by the pharma adds that we would sit there waiting to see what adds would come on and how fu*d they were . I even videoed some of them to show people back home. Little Timmy having trouble focusing in class ‘eat 10 of these a day…. With disclaimer he may die . I liken it to our gambling adds

Cenk is such a w***er.

To be honest, youtubers, podcasters, social media 'commentators' are just as bad and playing the same game as TV/print media - all of it is produced to get a reaction.

I don't know why anyone bothers with any of it to be honest. I find interesting from a human reaction point of view though.

But yeah (and this thread is good example sadly) of a group of well meaning people getting sucked into binary debate fighting defending two sides that are really dancing together. It's a complete waste of energy and time.

It's like pro wrestling but politics.

It’s exactly like pro wrestling, but for grown ups.

Dunno about grown-ups, anyone with half a brain knows to stay well clear of politics over there. Both major parties have had a man child, and a bloke with major cognitive difficulties in charge. Dunno why people dislike Yanks, feel sorry for the entire US general population that are getting played by both sides.

Sad thing is the binary debate crap has made its way over here.

At least with pro wrestling, the people know those in conflict are already in cahoots with each other.
