I keep seeing RIP AMERICA everywhere :D
- trump is a useful, charismatic person, well suited to entertain and distract while unfavorable measures continue to get implemented
- any inexperience or uncertainty will be handled by his advisers who are probably well aware whose interests they need to take care of first
- no one man is in control of usa, there are too many large-scale interests at work to let that happen
- apart from his personal controversies, i'm expecting a similar usa politics in the world and in general
also, his motto is 'make america great again', the question is: at whose expense?

You know this is serious business when Sarah's Scribbles, a comic about an awkward girl that never gets political, gets political.
It doesn't matter who the president (the puppet) is...Quote:
If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.
Most of Trumps public appearances, shows him as an asshole.
An sexistic and rassistic asshole.
But in one single point, he was correct: He could kill a person and would not lose any vote.
Even Clinton looked more nice against him.
He is "loved" because he is an asshole. Maybe because other assholes felt more great if there is a bigger one.
If I should compare him, I think some aspects of Hitler are very similar:
Both looks like asshole and both are gifted speakers.
I hope, there will be more differences than the language and time.
But from my current point of view, he is definitely one of the last guys, which I would gave power over a-bombs.

might as well start from yourself by spreading love and acceptance towards trump or those blocked people :PQuote:

we will see how its goes, i knew he would win.
We sure live in interesting times.
3 million people deported soon :stupid: Don
Trump has said that he was against the middle east wars. And he seems to get along with Putin. So maybe he's not that bad.
Trump will be the best president ever. He is a good guy.

hillary did'it :))
Dont know how People could even vote for Trump.. insane. :rolleyes:
Maybe useful to remember that H. Clinton (whom I don't particularly support) got 3 millions more votes than D. Trump. This one was only elected president because of a somewhat archaic voting system (the "winner takes all" rule, plus a few peoples in rural zone electing more delegates than 10 more people in urban zones, and finally a few hundred voters in the swing states having more weight than several hundred thousand voters in California or New York).
Here's an interesting article about Hillary winning the popular vote (which she did) and the electoral college system in the United States.

Indirect elections seem like something that made sense in the early days of democracy, but are now easy to manipulate or at least influence. My country did away with them in the early 90s for that reason. Then again, I'm not an expert in American politics and this particular aspect is unlikely to change in any case.
someone already said that 'those who count the votes decide the winner'
so the real question is can you trust the counting/voting system and people directly in charge of it or those overseeing it? somehow i doubt that the deep state would just let such an ace (trump card) slip through their ever greedy fingers, as they already own the (majority of the) mainstream media, entertainment industry, finance, politics, large global business corporations and the like

Remember when I volunteered for that election work? We had to count the votes with at least two reps from different parties watching (but not touching anything), to ensure everyone was keeping an eye on everyone. Afterwards, the tally for each table was signed by all people present, scanned and posted online for transparency purposes. I think that's fairly good... we had a brief fling with electronic voting machines, and while they made the counting process much easier, they were later banned due to concerns that individual ballots could be invalidated (therefore indirectly favoring the other candidates).
In any case, the fairest and most transparent counting system to ever exist would only prevent hard fraud. There are other ways to manipulate an election so that people will want to vote for you even if it's against their interests - media influence, social networking, appealing to emotions and fears rather than objective policies - and unfortunately they're the rule and not the exception nowadays.
were all polling places covered by oversight like that or just 'most of them'?Quote:

did you count the number of people who cast their ballots and compare that to the total sum of tallied votes?
what happens while a volunteer temporarily leaves the polling area (lunch, toilet,...)
reps may be accomplices, especially if we are talking about large parties or their known satellites, to whom losing is not an option
small party reps may be for sale as these parties are desperate for more votes
volunteers are an unknown factor, they may or may not be involved in suspicious activity
what happens when there are too many volunteers?
some pre-election polls are known to be fairly accurate, up to a few percent error, thus there may not be a need to even attempt hard fraud, at least in the absence of a tight raceQuote:

in the USA, with their mandatory two-party system or elsewhere with 1-2-3 traditionally large parties, all it takes is to have sufficient access to influential persons within those parties - then it does not matter who wins, something along the lines of:
either way, the globalist deep state New World Order leaders are hell-bent on covering all available angles and they do not shy away from even the most unthinkable or unethical solution in such pursuitQuote:

Voting boxes had to be inspected and sealed with volunteers and party reps present, then this was logged in a journal with timestamp and signatures.
The number of voters was counted in two separate journals as they arrived and had to match 100% afterwards.
There were two volunteers per table; breaks were allowed but had to be logged in the journal, and the second one couldn't move until the first returned.
Not sure about your comment regarding small party reps. If they're desperate for more votes, they would be corrupt in their own favor, but if they're up for sale, wouldn't the "buyer" want to get votes for his party instead?Quote:

Attempting to actively interfere with or manipulate the voting process is punishable with prison time, then again nothing's illegal if you don't get caught =]
The last question is good and I don't know the answer, but since there can't be more than two volunteers per table, I suppose they just send the rest home.
Polls can give a good outline but also say whatever who's behind them wants them to say, so they should be handled with care. On 2015, a lot of independent/third way voters here ended up voting for Macri since polls predicted his victory, therefore "he's going to win anyway, so might as well" (a terribly wrong reason to choose any candidate, but that's a different issue), which was one of many factors that secured him the margin needed to actually win.Quote:

The second paragraph is partially what I meant with "easy to manipulate or at least influence" before, it's easier to sway or pressure a few thousand electors than millions of regular citizens.
the camera(s) need only to watch the sealed boxes where votes are put into, so that no one tampers with them during the dayQuote:

so if someone is preparing to fix the scores and wants to handle the volunteer problem, all it takes is to apply two of their own(ed) 'volunteers' earlier than othersQuote:

i was thinking professional or internal polls, not meant for the public - these need to be accurate or they would be out of businessQuote:

I think Sanders would have been better as a Democratic candidate. We'll see what happens.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears to be one of the few Democrats who would take a proper attitude at least towards the Corona Plandemic, unlike other DemoncratsQuote:

Looking from the outside it's the choice between someone who talks shit and someone who talks nothing. I'm not sure what's the lesser evel.
let's not have a vote then :/
Very strong increase in participation, to the benefit of both sides. Maybe this post will be completely obsolete tomorrow, but at time of writing: Ohio -> Trump, North Carolina -> Trump, Florida -> Trump, Georgia -> Trump, Texas ->Trump (not official final results but very plausible projections). So it seems in my opinion Trump is going to win the race again, except maybe if Biden is able to get Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona without losing any state where H.C. won in 2016. Moreover in that case a perfectly even 269/269 result is not completely inconceivable (the House of Representative will chose the President in that case, leading to the shortest possible victory for Biden). Has such a configuration ever occurred before in history?
A Trump victory could be (paradoxically) better for keeping the US "united", at least in a short term perspective. A (short) Biden's victory would lead to chaotic situations, with torrents of enraged protests on behalf of Trump, popular upraising from both sides in various states, etc. Biden will be much more respectful of the electoral process in case of defeat I think. But the forces acting in favor of political polarization will remain. And the demography will continue to act. The conservative are keeping Texas probably for the penultimate time. After that, things are going to be very hard for them.
Agreed :wwink: Let's wait at least one day. Also, indirect elections mean we shouldn't treat current results as set in stone (even though they'll provide a very solid hint).
True to some extent, but still a horrible reason to vote for one candidate over the other.Quote:

I could not resist to take some risks. There is very few fun to wait until things become completely sure before allowing himself to attempt any forecasting.
Correct I think, but it is the case in most (all?) voting systems (although indirect ones, particularly those with "winner takes all" kind of rules and gerrymandering practices are amplifying that a lot): Discrepancy between the election results and the popular vote, absence of transitivity (Smith could be preferred to Johnson, and Johnson to Williams, and in the same time Williams preferred to Smith). Also, many people don't vote along their sole own preferences or interests, but take into account what they think other voters will choose. This kind of feedback tends to increase instability and to make the election results "biaised" as they are no more the true aggregation of the voter's own preference, rapidly leading to voter's dissatisfaction, frustration and cynicism... It's very difficult to define a voting system avoiding these risks.Quote:

True, but I never said nor even though that. It's just a sad fact that, when you are in position to not respect the rules of the game without risking anything, you tend to win more easily (until the game itself get destroyed and everyone loses -but even in that case not mainly you).Quote:

Same here but not exactly in the same order: More "lesser evil vs evil".
I'm able to understand your position about "zionism" (although I appreciate the Jewish culture very much) but in USA the most "zionist" of all are the "new
born evangelical christians" who are 95% voting for Trump whom they consider almost as God's envoy on Earth. Trump step son is a true zionist, and Trump chose to give him potilical power and he entrusted him with diplomatic missions. Moreover Obama had bad relationship with the (zionist) Netaniahu.
Any discussion about Freemasons is more complicated because first of all being a Freemason is confidential, and secondly because there are many groups of Freemasons, far from agreeing on everything, but generally explaining nowadays they promote freedom of speech and are fighting racism.
As for the "Deep State", if it exists and so as it has then prevented Trump from taking full power like did Palpatin during the fall of the Republic, it is really a "lesser evil", too.
Concerning R.F.K., I often appreciate to read what he says and don't like what Bill Gates did in India, but concerning vaccine, supportting the opinion that the virus Sars-Cov-2 was created/invented at some deepstate/freemassons/illuminati instigation in order to inject nanites in peoples's body in order to control them, seems really absurd to me.
