RE: dont vote for trump! - Rick_ - 11-11-2015
Love a bit of off topic discussion.
I live in the UK and I can see that Trump (Just like all other politicians) was clearly very privileged in his upbringing; lots of you may feel that that is a bad thing because he doesn't seem to connect with the people as much as liberals often do. But this is barely about trump as a person and more about the ideology that you may have as a person. If you have more capitalist ideals you'll probably feel as if Trump is a good candidate (The demographic shows that a large portion of Americans agree with his proposals, even if not openly), whereas the increasingly liberal and PC mainstream media largely goes in favour of Clinton (I don't like her at all but I'm not the one voting).
Overall, from following the coverage, the debates, and people's general opinion through social media etc. I've just managed to reinforce the picture in my head that the presidential political system is awful and the general population is going about it all in completely the wrong manner.(Congressional seems a fair bit better). Most of the time it seems that most Americans are far too focused on what is happening in the run-up to the election and their opinions on the candidates as people, whereas if you actually plan on making sure your vote is in your own interest you should look at the entire party's agenda, and the proposals of the candidate. Look at whether or not you agree with those and look to see if you think they will be able to carry out those promises (Something that they all too often don't).
tl;dr Your two party system and your media fuck you daily.

why? Trump has probably the best ideas I have ever fucking heard, and is prob the best candidate so far. Would love to see him become America's president. Would benefit capitalist countries like the one I live in grow

Since of the recent Paris attack, the next debate will be geared at those and policies and ways to deal with terrorism. That will sway the poles that NO ONE can predict. Trump can't "Read a book about it" and Carson cant "Come up with an easy, comprehensive plan". It'll flip the polls drastically.

Trump is gaining support because he says shit like let's bomb the shit out of them. America was built on anger and war, it's almost natural for us to want to use it as a fix.
