Question for Americans:Voting?

[Macanudo]

Here's a link to Trump's website and a transcript of a speech he gave last week regarding his economic plan: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/an-america-first-economic-plan-winning-the-global-competition

After reading this article, I'm leaning toward voting for Trump. I think he can assemble a better group of economic advisors that what we can expect from Clinton and her friends on Wall Street.

I have just been notified by the US Embassy that on Sep 22nd there will be a meeting at the Embassy regarding the US elections of next November. Please note.

The details were posted in #86 in this thread.

You are funny. Hillary Clinton, the anti-racist paladin.....right.
BTW, I am as anti Trump as the next guy. I just refuse to chose between criminals. I guess I am quaint like that.

The video is, I believe, very old. Today HRC gets 90%++ of the black vote and 85%+ of the latino vote. They must know something.

And as I stated in my last post, it's really not a choice between criminals. I would say it's a choice between someone who didn't pay their parking ticket (HRC) and someone who robbed a bank (T). Nobody's perfect, especially after 40 years under enemy scrutiny but the few things HRC is proven guilty of are really very minor. This is not a comparison of equivalents.

"More than any presidential election in recent memory, this election is less a contest between competing political ideologies than a contest between the primitive instincts of the reptilian brain and the potentials of our limbic and neocortical brains. It is a test of our intellectual, social, and emotional readiness as a nation to take the step to a new level of maturity and possibility."

TomAtAliki:
Absolutely agree.
It's just that eternal malcontent and devil's advocate Camberiu up to his sensationalist antics again.
Will he ever give it a rest?

In this election cycle, only two names are mentioned as our options (thanks to the D and R control in DC).

I listened to the second Presidential Libertarian Town Hall on CNN. How refreshing to hear two candidates intelligently and calmly answer questions.

And the Green Party Town Hall takes place on August 17 with Dr. Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka at 10PM BA time on CNN.

Both of these parties' nominees need to be heard and considered by voters before the election...because unfortunately they may not be included in the four presidential debates.

It's unfortunate that Americans in Argentina will cast their votes at the US Embassy on Sept 22, days before the first presidential debate scheduled for Sept 26 in New York.

I'll be mailing my own absentee ballot to Illinois.

"If it weren't for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton would be the most disliked major-party presidential nominee in recent American history." And this is across every demographic and ethnicity, including blacks and latinos. They must know something.
This is why I can't stand American partisan politics. It makes me sick to my stomach. Right and wrong only exists for the other party. As long as "my guy" does it, it is fine. So, Hillary's politically motivated, fear mongering racist remarks are not valid because they are "old"? So, what is the statue of limitations for racist remarks made by politicians? Does it change depending on the party of the politician? So, by your logic, Trump discriminating against black renters back in the 70s should not count either, right?

So, either you equate "White water", voting for the war in Iraq, for the patriot act, for the wall street bail out and being the architect of the overthrow of Qaddafi in Libya and financing the Syrian rebels as a "parking ticket", or the one with the parking ticket is Trump. Because he says a lot of horrible things, but he has no blood on his hands, yet, unlike your witch of the west.
Elizabeth Warren, in her own words, on how Hillary "parking ticket" Clinton is owned and paid for by Wall Street.

Sign the petition to open the presidential debates to all candidates. This is a way to get the media to invite Gary Johnson and Jill Stein to debate with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. This election is too important not to include other candidates. The first debate is September 26.
