US voting turnout is usually under 50% for the general election, and much lower for local elections. Despite the amount of media on the US presidency we are not actually a very political engaged country. I think there's a lot of non US citizens that care more about US politics than Usians do. The two party dynamic is uninspiring and I think leaves a large number of disinterested voters.

Some of it is also because voting is inconvenient. You have to choose to register in the first place whereas I believe it is common in most countries to automatically be registered.

Well I never cared much for it either, except in 2004 I was annoyed Bush won after he went to war and in 2008 I was annoyed people talked about Obama being historical just because he is black.
In 2016 I think we've been bombarded with this stuff more than ever before, but it may just be me who are a lot more frequent on news sites than I used to.

I dont entirely understand why some things on the presidential election make it to the front page, but they do. There's a lot of other things going on but even appointment or suspected appointment of cabinets members apparently takes precedence. BBC is my usual newssource and you would never know it's non-US based because they can't seem to shut up about it.

all media are run by one entity, blizz. only one. if you notice, even though they may state something different, they're all still pushing the same ideas out into the audience.

My thoughts exactly.

Trump also looks devious, like a child who has just been bad and knows he'll get away with it even after showing it in everyone's face.

they're making those faces because mitt was caught massaging trump's junk with his foot under the table. trump is making the same face he always makes when somebody uses their foot to massage his junk under the table.

...About the amount of voters this election, I have gotten different information from different sources.


That's another huge problem. Statistics is part of the Propaganda-Machines and it's "purposely" very difficult and time-consuming to get the real-numbers. Both "Partys" do this making them in Truth, two-sides of the same coin.

OhforfSake said:
...does it mean that only ~half of the US. population can vote?

No "cannot" but instead are sick to death of what Politics now means in the U.S. The dumb hayseeds (false sarcasm)appear to have enough sense to realize...lies are lies no matter who the hell says them. This results in a never ending "correct-stance" of "Why bother voting" which of course just happens to work for those who want the POWER and the BUCKS taken from YOU. Nuff said.

To say anyone is corrupted makes it difficult for me to take the post seriously.

But you need to man. Look up the old news about their Arkansas machine & Tyson-foods and the cocaine ring. And the stuff since then is far worse. How could you watch her testimony (and all the other party members before congress and not realize something is really bad behind the lies and evasions to Truth.


And later was apparently now.. , so I googled your keywords, and I found the Tyson Food scandal that was apparently about insider trading, which I understand is extremely stupid by her, though I don't find the magnitude that troubling.
I couldn't find the Arkansas machine or the Cocaine ring, what was those about?

Forget it...there is a huge wall of crap but honestly it is not worth your time and would not change a thing today anyway. I should not have said anything. Forgive me.

If she and her glorious hubby went before a real-court the last stuff would override the first stuff so like everything else Elitist in this nation...in the end it will be lost, if it hasn't been already (we've lost the entire field of investigative-journalism to the Globalist cartel) and disappear from memory.

Rather...Make your day great...the best you can.

It's only that it confuses me that to me it looks like:
Democratic election: safe bet Clinton vs ideological correct Sanders.
Presidential election: corrupt Clinton vs. unpopular newb Trump.

Doesn't make sense to me.

it's simple. there's no stopping what's coming, for a myriad of reasons. so snow it. play video games, set a fire, smoke marijuana, jerk off; do whatever you feel like doing because nothing really matters. those in charge are always going to screw the common man/woman, in a variety of ways. the common man/woman will always allow it, because of a myriad of reasons. not all their fault, but so what. society was always bullsnow, and always will be. it'll be so far up it's own ass that, when the eventual collapse comes, nobody but a select few will be able to survive; if anyone.
