A plea to our US contingent

A quick flashback to a fateful evening exactly 8 years ago in New Haven, CT, USA: Andrew and co. were onstage and in fine form; an elated Eldroid was passing his laptop to us folks pressed against the stage, so that we could watch the U.S. presidential election's vote tallies live. The atmosphere was electrified and full of promise...
This morning? Nothing but fear and dread. I'm truly frightened. Plus, Canada's already told us that we can't live there, so... Yeah, terrified.

No doubt about it, Trump is vile. I'm pretty convinced he won't win. It shows the state of things that he even has a chance. Quite a few of the politicians up our way would have views not too dissimilar to him in terms of social attitudes at least. Hilary Clinton is to say the least no means perfect but the lesser of two evils and all that. Of course there is a narcissistic muscle-brain sexist racist with his finger on the trigger already in the shape of Putin so maybe Trump would balance it out in a sort of MAD way...or we may all get blown to pieces.markfiend wrote:I am genuinely terrified of Trump.

From where we are now, Trump is the worst thing to happen. By far not only for the US.

If Trump wins I'm well and truly buggered. Can't move back to the UK, since Brexit appears to be turning into a reality, can't stay here (I was counting on marrying Sinnie and the pair of us taking advantage of the "if you're married you can move to Canada" rule, but since she appears to have married someone else this is a non-starter. Unless...I wonder if Canada recognises polygamous relationships... ), so it could be I'll have to bugger off to somewhere enlightened. Burma? North Korea? Bhutan?

they are both terrible candidates agreed, but she is at least a politician. and since when did politicians not line their own pockets/outrageously lie/abuse their position?
trump is the more dangerous without any shadow of a doubt. and a bigot, and a racist, and a misogynist as well as being a 5 year-old's word for a fart.

I'd be tempted to move to Aleppo - yes it's a warzone and a shitshow, and you'll probably get a barrel bomb dropped on your head, but it's probably no worse than the US under the Trump presidency.abridged wrote:Hmmm I wonder if it would also take Syrian refugees...

They are both terrible, albeit in different ways.
The benefit of a Trump win is that he is a Molotov cocktail aimed squarely at the Washington establishment, both democrats and republicans. That's why they hate him so much. He's such a divisive figure that, if he wins, our governing class might rediscover checks and balances and the separation of powers in their need to oppose him. Maybe the legislature will reassert itself as a legislature (one can dream, anyway).
Clinton, on the other hand, is a thoroughly corrupt creature with a mindlessly neoconservative foreign policy. If you liked GW Bush, you'll like HR Clinton.
Gary "Aleppo?" Johnson is an idiot. Jill Stein is a nutball.
All of our choices are awful. And the truth is, it doesn't really matter who wins. Neither one is interested in the rule of law. My hope is that we will get a profoundly divided government, and that whichever party gets the White House doesn't get the congress.
