You're less American than my hat made in China, because you're not a real American. Trump is winning 40-50% of 40-50% of voters, and that's half the country? I don't know how you have an it degree if you're that bad at math
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;49954267]the majority of voters is disconnected[/QUOTE]
well, that's the first thing you've said that's right
Have you ever been to another country Fisher? Ever?

That's the whole point of having elected officials vote for laws on our behalf, and it's one of the major failings of democracy that was expected in the drafting of the constitution: uneducated masses are not qualified to make rational decisions in politics.

Just compare the coverage of the European migrant crisis by big western news outlets and with smaller Eastern European outlets.
You will see that the western news outlets tend to blame the Eastern European countries for closing their borders. Meanwhile, photo's from those Eastern European outlets show stuff like ''''refugees'''' threatening border guards and always showing the 10 women and children in a group of 2000 ''''refugees'''', which consists of only military aged men for the rest where we have zero idea where they came from, to the western journalists because that scores cheap pity points to the uninformed reader in the West. Which also seem to be the average EU politician these days. Or what to think about Swedish newspapers trying to hide news about ''''refugees'''' committing crimes? Or how long those big western outlets ignored the Cologne Mass Assaults?

So you say "Nah I don't buy that story, but I totally buy this story"
and don't have a lick of proof either way
so you continue on your merry way?
How does that make logical sense?

Mexico and Canada; I have a meer 4 weeks in japan planned given my meager salary that is all I can afford right now.
Also what the fuck does "being more american" even mean at this point? Because right now all I'm seeing "American" represent, when out of the mouths of Trump supporters, is "I'm more of a misguided sheep piece of shit than you are."
So explain in your words what you mean by "being American."
Bet this somehow makes Trump even more popular somehow and makes his supporters support him even more lmao. Fucker is like the hulk, you fight him and he only gets bigger and scarier.

Trump's turnout is abysmal if you take into account half those Republicans are voting for Cruz and kasich

Trump has the highest unfavorability rating of any of the candidates running right now.

Turnout for Trump is larger than it has been for the GOP in the bast 3 elections

And when you went to Canada, did you say "WOW THIS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WORLD AND CULTURE" or did you have the realistic reaction that "oh, this is pretty much just like back home, it's pretty much the same."?
Make america great again means what to you?

I don't know how true this is, really.
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;49954331]you said you were rich earlier[/QUOTE]
According to Dems someone without a degree is not likely to be rich, I am using words Bernie supports told me that I should vote for Bernie because "people without degree's don't make much!"

Not really sure how around 50% of the votes of one party = a majority of voters.

Is literally everything you say just rhetoric?
Do you have anything original to say in that fucking head of yours or is it all just filled with empty, hollow, pathetic rhetoric

I understand our trade is shit and our economy could be better.
But at this point you're talking pure rhetoric and not policy.
trade this. deal that. muslims are bad. wall is good.

Look, when I see video's of ''''refugees'''' trying to ram down the fences on the Macedonian border with fucking battering rams, I seriously start to wonder why that doesn't get as much attention in those big-name western outlets, yet they still seem content to keep showing photo's of sad women and children while going ''Boohoo those evil Macedonians not opening their borders to them, what monsters'' while ignoring the fact that there are people trying to charge down a closed border with a battering ram.
Those ''journalists'' are obliviously on the location, yet they still tend to neglect those things that would go against a narrative they are trying to set and to milk for all it is worth.
I thought the press was supposed to be unbiased, but guess not.

Ah good, so you saw ALL of Canada then and made this judgement?
You're so reasonable and rational, how can I ever be like you?

I'm going off what the Dem party is telling me and only trump wins.

I'm not saying the narrative isn't skewed.
I'm just saying you're taking an equally skewed narrative and saying it's the truth

I drove through many parts of Canada, not all of it. But from what I saw, I realize we need to make sure america never falls this low.

Of one party. Half of the votes of one party is not a majority of [B]voters[/B].
