Horseshoe theory implies that Clinton feels like a Republican because she's such an extreme liberal when the reality is that she feels like a Republican because she shares several viewpoints with them
Today in news that surprises nobody...
Anyway, I've said this before, but I'm not a Hillary fan. She's an oligarch, a lifelong Washington insider, and she was one of many players in turning the Democratic Party away from regular people and marching it to the Wall Street feeding trough right next to the Republicans. Her administration would be, at best, a rehash of 80s/90s vintage Republican policy.

Perhaps she'll take a more liberal stance once she releases her new agenda? It would be the smart thing to do with the heavy criticism she's been getting from hard liberals and populists. At the very least she'd be in favor of keeping Dodd-Frank intact.

Maybe. She might tack left a little bit for the primaries, but I don't see her campaigning as any kind of real liberal.
Money talks and bullshit walks. Championing the causes of the people doesn't raise money like promising to grease the palms of hedge fund managers.

Ok.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHahahahAHHAHahHAHAHAhahaa
But the others seem reasonable.
I may sound cynical and I'm not sure that this is a good attitude to have, but I assume that almost all politicians are narcissists and bad people in some way or another. I think becoming a politician almost requires it. I just want to vote for the person who won't destroy our economy and won't cause more political catastrophes. I'm... ready for Hilary.
Jesus, on NPR today they said her campaign for the presidency is estimated to cost [I]one billion dollars.[/I]
That's the price for the presidency. And it all goes up in flames if she loses.

I feel the same way. Which is why I won't vote for Hilary. Her record speaks for itself, she can't be trusted with the Oval Office.

This is also fucked up, but I hope that when she is in power that her husband has heavy influence on her decision making because I know that he generally has good judgment... at least with policy.

what is it with these "oh i don't wanna look POLITICALLY INCORRECT" types using pictures of people mid-sentence to make them look dumb? first it was thunderfoot and his neck-jigglin' fury at that woman with the pink hair, and now i guess it's hillary clinton? how brain damaged would you be to fall for this

honestly hillary has more power in her position now than she ever would while president so i'm sort of okay with this campaign. what's she gonna do? sign a bunch of executive orders: everyone knows legislature grips the prez by the balls, or in this case the breasts

I don't see much hope for a former Governor from a state that a lot of people don't even know [I]IS[/I] a state, sadly. When I tell people that I'd vote for Johnson the response is usually "...Who?"

Still won't change my vote.
I don't vote for someone because they "might win". I vote for someone who I align my own beliefs with.

Clinton vs. Bush again? We better get used to our corporate sponsored politicians.

I don't think anyone old enough to be out of diapers, let alone vote, is unaware that new mexico is a state
i have lost so much hope for this country long ago
i used to just support Democrats because ~muh lib'ruls~ but everywhere you look is a potential candidate who has demonstrated evidence of corruption, or happens to support seal clubbing, or wants to push invasive civilian surveillance, or doesn't believe in climate change
it is my personal belief that bureaucracy was never supposed to become this large. it makes me want to immigrate to one of the many (reasonably-sized) European nations where the government's got their shit more together. failing that i guess i'll join my sibling at their self-supporting collective-anarchist commune

[QUOTE=Jackald;47508209]American politicians look like fucking cartoon characters from the perspective of someone outside of it. Here we are in the run-up to UK national elections, with parties arguing about EU policy and the extent to which the privatisation of the NHS should be controlled, and over in America they're bringing in laws to discriminate the gays on religious freedom, and trying to sign over huge legislation to control the internet.
It's like a completely different world where being a raving lunatic is not an impediment to winning an election.[/QUOTE]
The same could be said about UK policies to an outsider as well. Not everything is as black and white as you spell it out to be.

Don't worry, it looks like a cartoon to us as well. Sad thing is, there isn't much we can do about it. Too many people over here go 'hurr durr ima vote republican' and always choose that candidate solely for that reason. And vice versa. Or they pick one issue, or they vote based on the TV and some perceived duty to do so.
All I can think about is the Supreme Court justices. They're getting old...
Under Hilary Clinton, the US is going to become a helicopter soccer mom state.
Protect the people's freedoms by censoring and banning everything they don't approve of.
I'm probably going to vote Republican just for their stance toward Israel. It seems that in the USA it's a choice between raving far left politicians who want to make everything "politically correct" and uber religious right wing candidates that want to turn America into a Christian state.
