US General Election Thread III: Clinton vs. Trump

[Wallenburg]

Are you kidding me? He's almost as ignorant as Trump! How does he not even know what Allepo is?

If it is not the name of something you can order at your local Starbucks, changes are that many members of the American public are unfamiliar with it.

Yes, but if you are running for POTUS, you ought to know more about foreign policy than the average American.

In other parts of the world, maybe.

The fact he doesn't know about Aleppo, a besieged city in the largest conflict going on right, is really bad.

[Thermodolia]

“What would you do if you were elected about Aleppo?” MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” panelist Mike Barnicle asked the former New Mexico governor during an in-studio interview Thursday morning.

“And what is Aleppo?” Johnson responded.

“You’re kidding,” a stunned Barnicle replied, to which Johnson answered that he was not.

Barnicle explained to the Libertarian candidate that Aleppo is “the epicenter of the refugee crisis” in Syria, giving Johnson enough information to finally answer the question.

What I don't like is that this is going to dominate the news for the next several days while Trump gets a pass on everything

I know, right? Hell, even looking for news on what is happening in Aleppo is hard now, with so many Johnson articles drowning out the war reports.

The average American is stupidly dumb when it comes to foreign affairs. I'd bet you that 30% if not more have no clue what NATO is, 40% think that Europe is its own nation, and many others don't know shit outside of their immediate area

shouldn't everyone be going apeshit over trump praising putin, wanting to steal oil--actually have BLOOD FOR OIL--defending a tweet suggesting that women in the military means rape in the military?

Wow...that's sexist against both men and women. I wonder if he's going for a triple.

Nope because Johnson, who isn't going to realistically win anyway, said what's Aleppo?

There are probably about 20,000 people who would literally believe you

it is crazy

trump says more disqualifying things in a day than Johnson will say all campaign but Johnson is what we have to talk about.

Hummus is terrorist yes. I got a 350 ml container of it discounted for the sell-by date and scoffed it down, then the hummus released poison gas in my subway. If anyone had been standing nearby they probably would have died.

I wouldn't say the hummus was organized though.

"I'd grant the leppos asylum in the US" or "I would bomb the leppos" are both wrong answers.

Still it's better than, "Idk, let's let Russia decide"

The day's not over yet. Surely we can squeeze another outburst of righteous indignation in our busy schemes.

Sorry I'm all out of righteous indignation, I do have a few "fucks to give" though

Take solace in the fact that Clinton doesnt know what human emotion is. At least Gary and Trump know what they are.

Nah she knows what human emotion is. Now Ted Cruz, there's a guy that has no idea what human emotion or facial expressions are.

What a load of misogynistic crap.

Clinton is more rational and self-controlled than Gary Johnson is, and enormously more so than Trump is. If this was a contest of all men, you would certainly prefer the candidate who was most rational and self-controlled.

Clinton isn't emotional enough for you, but that's not her fault. That's your fault. You expect from her something that you wouldn't even look for in the other candidates. You want her to be emotional.

Fuck that. I hope you spend the next four (or eight) years with President Clinton four times a week top of the news and you never see her cry. When she's done pretending to be nice and humble to get elected, I hope she's as hard as Thatcher. I hope she kills your sexist assumptions stone dead.

And also, how long did it take you to type that up?

Trump keeps being all the Trump the Trump can be so consistently, people tend to become jaded. Hence the desire to focus upon something else, no matter how insignificant it may be in the long run.
