So again, in the United States roughly 50% of the population is eligible to vote. Out of that Roughly 50% (60% in a high turnout year) actually cast a ballot. This means that roughly 25% of the population is deciding the election. That being said, a majority of the people for and against both candidates are not even going to vote. They protest, but they don't do the one thing that they can do that really makes a difference. I personally will not waste my vote on either Swillary or Chump. I will vote my conscience. Maybe this is the year that a serious inclusion of third party candidates can happen.
Point by point, 11 million ILLEGAL immigrants. Whether they crossed the border illegally, or entered legally and overstayed their visa are CRIMINALS. Deporting them is not racism, it is following the law. Inconvenient, maybe, but not incorrect. His assertion that they are rapists was over the top, but the assertion that those who cross the border illegally are criminals is not inaccurate, though melodramatic.

Database of Muslims goes against what it means to be American. First Amendment to the constitution guarantees that we all have the right to religion as we see fit. It was so important along with assembly and speech that it was the first thing that our forefathers added to the constitution. It was followed by the right to keep and bear arms so that we the people could protect that right against corrupt government should the need arise. Our oath to support and defend the constitution means that we as service members and veterans should be demanding that our government honor their oath to do the same.

Sexism, well sexism is what it is. If the women in his life tolerate it, that is on them. As for in a business setting, women as a whole still earn 75 cents to the dollar against their male counterparts so to say he is the only one is ridiculous. For a Clinton supporter to bring up sexism when the first gentleman in a Clinton White House would be a know and proven philanderer who has a history of treating women as sex toys is hypocritical.

Trump making fun of people with disabilities is atrocious. That being said, how many people have dealt with another person, and been left asking if that person was retarded, mental, slow, or just stupid? I know I have. It is not mocking those with disabilities, it is lumping people who annoy in with people who have disabilities. It may be meant in jest, but it can still be construed as mocking the disabled.

As for lying, if everyone in politics who lies through their teeth to get people to vote for them was kicked out, we would be left without a government as there would be no one left. At least then there would be an explanation for how dysfunctional the government has become.

The issue of trying to stave off a Trump presidency is ridiculous. I am so tired of the "Lesser of TWO evils" argument. It is Bullshit. There are more than two candidates on the ballot. The American People have become so used to being spoon fed the two party system that the thought of voting for a no party or third party candidate doesn't even occur to most. IF the PEOPLE actually took the time to look at a candidate, and what they have shown their values to be, and then voted for the candidate who was most in line with their thinking (since there is no such thing as a perfect candidate), then things could change. If we did not have TAX PAYER funded primaries for the RNC and the DNC rather just a general election in November things would change. Until we demand change, change will not happen. So it is not the liberals' fault or the conservatives' fault, it is the fault of the American People who are content to be sheep.

As for Trump's fascism, that seems to be the direction that both the Republican and Democrat party are going. The rights that the Republicans are touting as unchangeable are the rights that the Democrats espouse as outdated and in need of elimination, change, and restriction. The rights that the Democrats tout as being undermined by the Republicans are the rights that the Republicans think are not well defined, ergo in need of change, restriction, definition, or elimination. Both parties would have the United States run in a manner where the GOVERNMENT has all the control. The United States was founded on control being in the hands of the people. The government should fear the people, not the other way around. Though it is coming to a point where as an American Citizen I do not trust the government to do anything that is in the best interests of the people.

As to violent resistance, people are waking up. They are waking up and they are pissed off. They are pissed off at a system that is failing everyone not in an ivory tower. There is anger and resentment, and no outlet. So when something is seen that is so vile, people are reacting to it violently. The United States exists because the people decided that they were done having their fate decided by an out of touch government. Now we are once again faced with an out of touch government. We have the tools in place to make changes, but it is going to require these people who are pissed off to show how pissed they are at the voting booth. America is at its strongest when we have an informed, United, engaged, educated population. The government is taking steps to make it so that we are none of those things. So is violence the answer? Maybe, maybe not. Violence directed against each other is just what is needed to keep the people subjugated. The more divisive they can be the less likely "We The People" are going to be to unite and vote the bastards out of office.

It is time that we did unite. It is time that we agree to disagree on certain issues, but unite as one voice to tell the government you represent us. We are not your subjects. You are there to represent the interests of the people in your districts, not the special interests and lobbyists.

Trump haters hating Trump more than Bernie/Hillary haters hating Bernie/Hillary. Another thing to look at is that Bernie/Hillary haters are of the younger generation as opposed to many Trump supporters.

that's such a childish argument... "he's being a hater" im really sick of seeing it everywhere. its almost always followed by "well yeah but that guy did it too" can we not elevate Trump without either sounding like its a "if youre not for him youre against him" or a 5th graders defense of their actions? the guy has merit and has fault. disagreeing or demanding better doesn't make you a hater.
