Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Lord Arceus  
President Mike Pence the worst future.

@TheMagpulPone  
The only good thing that Trump did in my opinion was standing against the TPP.
 
However sometime during April 2018 he did comment on the possibility of America rejoining…
 
I’ll admit this:  
I didn’t vote.
 
I was gonna go with Hillary since Sanders tapped out but overtime I grew more cynical of her to the point where I decided just to sit the election out.

@TheMagpulPone  
I won’t be voting cuz they’re all corporate friendly status quo morons who don’t actually care about the country, Trump included. Especially Trump. He was supposed to go to El Paso to console the people and ended up bragging about “crowd size”.

@Mikey  
If he’s not on the 2020 ballot if he becomes prez.

@Mikey  
If Sanders sells out to Dem cheating again, he can forget about running in 2024.

@TheMagpulPone  

 
As am I.
 
If only because I’ve been robbed of reasonable alternatives.

@Vivace  
The man’s 77. He shouldn’t even be thinking about 2024.
 
Is it too much to ask for a President who’s not legally dead?

@Background Human
 
Still think a Warren/Sanders or Sander/Warren ticket is the best outcome.

@Background Human  
My grandad is 94 and he’s smarter and more active than most people literally half his age… If you age well you age well, 77 isn’t “at death’s door!” anymore.

@The Smiling Pony  
The life expectancy in the US is supposed to be over 90 (close to 100). It’s 2-4 years higher than my own country.

@Derpy Whooves  
Starting 1991, you needed a firearms license to purchase firearms in Tasmania. 1
 
And since we’re already talking about Australia…  
Several sources generally agree that firearm homicide reductions cannot be reliably attributed to the passage of the NFA. Firearm homicides were already in decline in the West since the early 90s. Further, suicide reates are back where they were before 1996. 2

This probably won’t matter to anyone but I visited an Australian pro gun group’s website and some social media pages and read the opinions. They aren’t very happy with how things turned out. I just think it’s important to have the input of the groups that will be directly affected by your policies.

@TheMagpulPone
 
“Happily” would be a strong word for me.

@Derpy Whooves  
Because gun control was, at the very least initially, a racist policy  
Supporting such measures to me, especially when you are implying that the Mulford Act was good(pursuing right policies for wrong reasons is a very fucking bad look when talking about a legislation targeted at black communities) definitely seems like racism to me, even if it is more unconscious than anything or simply not caring about the consequences against POC communities  
Also liberal isn’t really an ad hom I pretty much thought he was a liberal unless he is one of those anti gun conservatives  
Though I admit the way I put this across was less tactful than I should have
 
I also realise I’m calling a lot of American liberals racist but I’m sticking with it because honestly, a lot of America is racist and the left is not exempt from that
 
@Latecomer  
This is like when libertarians are “socially liberal, fiscally conservative”  
Equal in name but not in practice  
You know how drug laws disproportionately impact POC ? Same shit here

@AC97  
Don’t get me wrong, he’s not my ideal choice, but he’s better than the alternatives.

@TheMagpulPone  
I’m kinda interested in Bill Weld personally. The republican party isn’t good anymore tbh and hasn’t been since pre Reagan.

@Mikey  
*pre-hoover

@Mikey  

Well how about you do it anyway, because there are plenty of bigger morons out there who are going to go out and try and vote the worst president in American history back in for a second term, and not participating does not help improve the situation one iota. Regardless of whether they are all “corporate friendly status quo morons” or not, there is still an obvious better choice here, and that’s basically anyone who isn’t Trump.
 
 
@Dustcan  

I’m honestly hoping for that. It’s the pairing I like best at this point in the campaign, and I like what I’ve been hearing from them policy wise.
 
But frankly, I’ll settle for anyone halfway competent who can win. Anything that isn’t Donald would be a step up in my book.

@Background Pony #F6AF  

 
I mean, yeah. But I’d still like for a candidate to have some credibility besides “Not Trump”. We’re still a ways off from the Democratic Primary - we can afford to be picky.

@Mikey  
I’m gradually liking both parties less and less.

@TheMagpulPone
 
Yeah… I still don’t really regret voting against Hillary.

@AC97  
I don’t either, but seeing the Republicans blaming video games for mass shootings annoys me nearly as much as dems blaming guns.

@TheMagpulPone
 
Oh yeah, that annoys me too.
 
Video games don’t cause violence, neither do movies.
 
Which reminds me of something: I hope Jack Thompson’s feeling happy about how much of a failure his crusade against video games was.

@Mikey  

 
If more disillusioned people like you don’t vote, the bunch of racist pricks who hate LGBT folks like you get to decide who’s your president with little to no opposition.

To everyone here who voted for Trump in this thread;
 
I hope you’re happy over how he fucked your country.

@Violet Rose in The Rain  
How do you feel about the non-voters like me?
 
I had hopes for Sanders but Hillary ended up taking his spot and she just didn’t cut it for me.
