If you can vote, who will you vote for; if you can't, who would you want to vote for?

At this point I would't vote, I hate them all.

 

So because you hate the Presidential candidates, you refuse to vote, including all down-ticket seats on the ballot?

That is why our country is so screwed up.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS VOTE

Also, if it ends up being Clinton vs Trump in the General Election, I'm swaying towards Trump purely so he can keep damaging the Republican Party.

 

Lol, well hey, at least you found a bright side to him.

 

It's true. A Trump presidency would be the best thing to happen to Democrats since the 1964 election. Real reform being pushed through. Landslide win. What else could be better?

 

Basically.

Downticket seats as in lower offices? Sure, I'd vote in those.

What's worse than voters who don't vote is uneducated voters who do vote. There is nothing I hate more than someone who votes based off of trivial things (i.e. race, gender, etc.). I don't have a problem with people who vote for democratic candidates, as long as they know about said candidates, know their policies, and are voting for them because of those reasons.

 

Donald trump might actually be the republican nominee damn lmao the thing is it was all a joke at first but now it's the complete opposite

honestly I want free college tuition so I don't have to stress out my parents but you know Bernie sanders is probably lying

 

If they're still relevant despite GWB for two terms, accomplishing nothing since, and providing us with a choice between Trump and Cruz, then there's no hope for the American people.

There's no hope for the American people.

 

Obvious troll is obvious

 

\

Esp. when the other candidates are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

 

Cruz is literally Satan.

 

Lol

 

I am probably a Trump supporter at this point because I am pretty liberal in a sense I don't like our senseless wars, I personally think social programs are okay and shouldn't be cut out but I tend to side with Republicans when it comes to tax code. Do the two correlate? Lowering taxes but keeping social programs the same? Sure, granted we have growth and create more jobs (more people working = more incomes to tax) but that being said there is waste we can cut out.

When it comes to Trump many people think he is some nutty conservative but that isn't the case at all. He is a New Yorker, and they are pretty much all liberal lol. He has exposed the GOP and Federal government for how truly corrupt they are (similar to Bernie). Just like Bernie he believes in socialized medicine (I'm meh on this topic), social programs, anti-war at least in the Middle East, and he seems like he could improve relations with Russia. Countries will most likely respect him because he comes off as a strong character.

His most recent foreign policy speech was pretty good IMO.



Main topics for an election for me: Economy and foreign policy and it looks like Trump is well suited for those areas... When it comes to Hilary, she really isn't all that great.

 

First is true.

Second is hard to believe. I don't think Bernie is lying, I just think he's pushing for things that he probably can't achieve (yet -- may need another decade or two).

 

Nothing is ever "free", it will be paid for in the form of more taxes.

 

TLDW. At what point does he actually say something substantive?

 

No one. They are all idiots and America is doomed.

words to describe the candidates:
trump - racist, egotistic, selfish, stupid, ignorant, immature.
hillary - liar, desperate.
bernie - insane.

 

lol

 

Help me Obi wan kenobi,
You're my only hope

 

I'm taking loans out for graduate school that I will have to pay back equal to a Porsche 911 Turbo.... Do I want to take out loans? No, but I have to and I chose a profession that will give me an adequate income to pay them off. The problem is people going to college to have fun and party and get a useless degree. People decide to go to a $40,000 school a year and get a degree in psychology or theology then cry foul that they have loans when they willingly went there. No one is forcing anyone to go to a specific school that charges an outrageous amount and no one is forcing anyone to go into a specific major that pays peanuts. It's personal responsibility but hey, we rather blame others instead of making reasonable decisions.

I rather take personal responsibility and pay for my loans that I willingly put upon myself as opposed to paying higher taxes so others can go to college "for free" aka at others' expense and get a useless degree. But hey, they went to college right? They will be working a job that doesn't require a college degree so what's the point? They got to have the "college experience"? The simple fact is not everyone needs to go to college. The reason why public schools are tax funded is probably due to the fact they are minors for the most part (excluding grade 12). Any who, look at public schools.... you need a super intendant, super intendant assistant, and a bunch of other fluff jobs while private schools don't have those positions and run fine. Point is everything government touches generally costs more.

She's a sexist loon.

 

Wrong. It is feasible through hard work and common sense. Do not go to a school that you cannot afford, and do not choose a major that is useless. I may sound blunt but it is the truth. Going to a university that costs $40,000-$50,000 a year and choosing a major that will not return your investment is no one's fault but yours. I put in the necessary work during highschool to be able to go to an instate school with a good scholarship and a major that would return my investment. I could have went to a big name school out of state for the extra money and I could have taken out loans for this that would take a long time for me to pay off, but that is not what I did because I have common sense, which is something that seems to be absent in the minds of a majority of young adults who are in this point in their lives. Why should I, someone who made smart financial decisions, have to be negatively affected by the bad choices of others who decided to study Western Feminism of the 1860's at NYU?(That was just a random example)

Overall, the system in place may not be perfect(college costs are so high, but that can be explained by simple demand), but being successful nowadays is possible without daddy's money or athleticism. Unfortunately (Not really, but it is seen as unfortunate for the majority of young people who think they are entitled to having everything without having to work for it) it actually requires hard work, financial awareness, and common sense.
