Again, this is a foreigner view. Maybe it's different when you actually live there, though I doubt it. But from my point of view, both parties suck extremely and unless you somehow manage to get a 3rd party to win, you're fucked for eternity. Both parties have no reason to make anything better if they know you'll vote for one of them anyway.

I wish that I wasn't correct. But I guess all I can say is, get some popcorn and watch the insanity unfold. And do everything you can to stop it from infecting your own country.

I wonder at what point you will realize that everything you just said in that comment could not have been more wrong. Will it be the the federal ban on abortion and birth control? The mass deportations (that include some US citizens, "whoops")? Concentration camps? Political prisoners and executions?

Yeah, concentration camps and executions would probably be up there.

Not abortions, though, that's exactly what I was talking about: democrats are saying that republicans will take away your abortion rights for 20 years (probably more). Why didn't they actually do something about it? As I said, republicans want to take away abortions and democrats want to blackmail you into voting for them because otherwise abortions will be banned.

Well, let's see how it unfolds, I still think democrats are the lesser evil, so I'm not very happy about Trump being elected because, like it or not, the US is too big to ignore wherever in the world you live.
