Elizabeth Warren = Pocohontas

[The Industrial Atheist]

Ok now i saw the video of it. He's an asshole but he manages to have  disorganized speech patterns while he's at it. How the hell did this incompetent fool get 40 some percent of the country to vote for him?

While I am for a free press and for free speech, I will say we have had a flood of garbage for decades. Long before Jerry Springer you had Morton Downey, then the rise in popularity of "reality TV" with garbage like "The Real World".  WWE , tabloid magazines, and crappy networks like "Farts News".

NO, you are not going to get rid of all of it. But all that cheap quick satisfaction I really do think has created a very shallow political environment. 

I do however see more and more getting tired of this.

You know I actually watched Monday Night Raw (WWE) for a while a few months ago. It was actually ok and less about shock value than it was in the early 2000's.
But yeah Trump is garbage. He's done nothing worthy of admiration. I never cared to watch "The Apprentice."

He didn't.

The incompetent fool got some 19.4 percent of the country to vote for him.

Clinton got 20.3%.  

The remaining 60.3% were either too old or too young... or were ineligible to vote because they'd been in prison on some trumped up drug offence.

This low turn-out, btw, the keen-eyed will have noticed, is the weakness in the gerrymandering tactic.

It's a good point that people shouldn't be looked in a cage for putting what they want in their body. Drugs should be decriminalized but regulated. The most dangerous ones should still be illegal. Maybe provide a safer alternative.

If someone has addiction which is a medical issue, not a criminal issue, perhaps they should be forced into treatment. But I think jailing people for that only hardens them, and maybe even forces people who aren't bad people into gangs for protection.
