Hate speech laws are retarded. If I want to say something stupid about some group of people, I should be allowed to. Good thing we don't have them here in the US.
Anyways, I still haven't seen a real reason not to vote for Trump from anyone here. If anyone actually paid attention to him past the sensationalized media, or past what the Huffington Post tells you to think, then maybe you could give me an argument. All I've seen are comments that basically say, "Trump is an asshole." Well congratulations, most politicians and rich people are.

Because fanatics are highly motivated and likely to vote.
As a moderate, failing to vote gives the outcome to those who do, the extremists.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

Yes, I understand that the current political environment is FUBAR (and by current I mean since the dawn of human civilization). My question goes deeper, in that it addresses why we feel we need "leaders" in the first place. I have more to say on this topic, but I do not wish to derail the political purpose of this thread.
