Who do you actually want to win the 2016 election?

I really hope the people on this thread don't say in the real world they like Trump. I can imagine how difficult life must be for them. Seriously, if you like Donald Trump don't say it irl people will think you're an idiot. You guys should watch some Colbert Report sometime. The problem with children stating their political candidate is they will never read what their policies and beliefs are. You could like Donald Trump now just because he has "nice hair" or that no one understands him, which makes him edgy, but the fact he's for "traditional marriage" and his very character should bother you. I don't know how Donald Trump even is on this poll lol.

Not to mention he wants to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. and get all of the Muslims out of the country like.... wat

People who support him disgust me tbh

No, with all the hate he's getting, he'll never become president.

Do you think people didn't despise Obama when he got elected? Is this a talent show now?

 

[Kess]

Bernie Sanders

The thing about Trump is, he's a lot of things I don't want in a president. First off, he's sexist. Women are already discriminated in so many ways in America (and so are guys in many cases as well) and it will only worsen for females if he gets voted in. Secondly, he's extremely homophobic, transphobic and racist. He appeals to the older generation in so many ways. And sadly, that's the generation that votes. The younger generation who actually has a clear view on how everything listed above is 100% not okay, won't vote this coming election. "Oh my vote doesn't matter, it's just one vote right?" WRONG. Every vote is so important and if everybody works together, we can make sure he doesn't actually lead this country. It's scary to think about a man as terrible as him to have so much power. Hopefully everybody will vote this coming election. Because trust me, your vote matters.

Yes, two parties, and the voting system America has to go along side them is really bad, and why the two most talked-about politicians this election are so left- and right-wing respectively, because people feel they haven't had a political party/candidate that represents them and now things are surging to political extremes (for America, Sanders is pretty extreme), which can be a bit dangerous (Trump could get elected).

My friend showed me this video a while ago, which explains really well why the voting system is fundamentally flawed (in reference to UK politics, but it's basically exactly the same in the US).

I think a lot of the things of most concern in UK politics are wrong (the environment has completely fallen off the radar, and immigration is often the top-reported concern of the people when it's really not that big an issue), but some of the childish things in US politics (clothes and appearance, attack ads) are really just silly.

I was asking myself, "This video going to be the one from CGP Grey on British elections?" And indeed it was. It makes very solid and easy to understand points anyhow, so I quite like the video. Anyhow yes, too much politics in the USA is smoke and mirrors and just completely obfuscating the important topics by attacking the competition and what they supposedly did wrong.

because there's a lot of other factors besides half the country hating him.

Anythings better than our current president (obama) or clinton.

Guess I'll have to go with Bernie Sanders. None of the Republicans are sane at all. As usual.

I am really against the two party system, and unfortunately, there have been no solid third party candidates at all. There's talk that Trump might end up running third party, but there is no way that I would ever vote for him. IMHO I think his whole racist/sexist slant is one gigantic act; he was a reality star before all of this and knows how to purposefully be offensive to draw a massive amount of media attention. But that's still a really ****ty way to behave, and while it might be entertainment for some, the presidential campaign shouldn't be treated like a reality show. I mean come on, a giant Game of Thrones styled wall? Give me a break, that's not happening. And if it does, I really am making plans to move out of the country asap, that would be so horribly embarrassing.

Bernie Sanders is the only one who seems genuinely invested in the well-being of people of the USA, but on principal of disagreeing with the notion that only two major parties having power, I still have a hard time seeing myself voting for him. But if it means voting against some whacko like Santorum or Huckabee, I might be thwarted otherwise though.

Hilary Clinton for sure. She'll do a fine job. If Donald Trump wins, I'm moving to the moon.
