I cant remember worst candidates in the recent US elections. Why vote for any of them?

There's one Supreme Court opening now, and a good chance of at least one more in the next four years. Who gets to make those nominations could have long-lasting ramifications.

The Supreme Court argument is really the best one this election. =/

Climate change too.

Seems like a fear-mongering advertisement with no relevant context on it's own. Wikileaks has a political agenda of it's own, so you still have to take their commentary with a grain of salt. It's particularly ironic that they use climate change as an example, what with Trump being a huge climate change denier. Yeah, HRC has some issues, but I have no doubt that a Trump presidency leads to a lot of social setback as a…

Asking people to read something is fear-mongering? We have sunk low indeed.

No, their particular way of asking without actually pointing me at concrete information to look at is the issue. It's trying to get a rise out of you to visit their site. It's an advertisement.

I disagree. If Wikileaks is fear-mongering there's a good reason for doing it. And as it says, Wikileaks has done a lot more for journalism than the top news agency have done in a century. I would not trust the mainstream media's propaganda of anit-women, anit-imigrant trump ticket.

What significant wrongdoings were there in the emails? The foundation got money from all kinds of questionable sources and spent only 68% on charity stuff. Who cares?

I mean, I only have to trust the words coming out of Trump's mouth to see that part of his ticket.

I feel there are multiple parts to a human personality.

These are just Podesta's emails keep that in mind. We don't know how deep the rabit hole goes. And I have a eerie feeling it goes a lot deep.

Where in the US do you live that you don't have a bunch of state and local elections?

All of my state and local elections are filled with bullshit issues and bullshit candidates too.

Voting isn't going to do shit in NJ. Never has. Never will. That's because everything is super corrupted around here since we're one of the oldest and most populated states.

My time is better spent doing things I enjoy. If I wanted to change things for the better, I'd move to a better area.
