Put down the politics and puff on some peace instead.'"ALAS,"said the mouse, "the world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when at last I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into." "You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.' --Franz Kafka

I disagree to an extent. I translate the term political correctness as the attempts to deal with politics (the interaction between and governance of people) in a correct way. A problem with PC is when it is taken to extremes and people get needlessly offended by things which is IMO a kind of bulllying and therefore paradoxically becomes a form of political incorrectness.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore...
I think that all sides in all these political arguments are misinformed, truth and objectivity have fallen victim to political spin and opportunistic generation of propaganda...

When Donald becomes president all of the (American) milksops in this thread who refuse to vote and therefore haven"t voted will have played a part in his being elected.

slight left libertarian, in principle, but there needs to be some serious corporate legislation reform, because corporate personhood is real bullcaca. they'd basically pollute as much as they want.

I think we're a little past the point of worrying about ethics. Personally, I'm ready to watch the whole sh*t house go up in flames. May just write in "Camacho". I hear he has the most electrolytes. "The cost of sanity in this society is a certain level of alienation." - Terence McKenna

im with the guy who fires people on TV! ( my twin sister is down for trump also..........actually my entire crowd is.........) I do. It's called not electing Trump. I'd love to discuss actual substantive ideas here, but this thread is clearly not the place for that. God forbid I interrupt your orgy of fetishized egomania.

How about the fact that Trump's policy proposals are racist, break international laws, and he seeks to commit war crimes against innocent families. How about the fact that his wall is not only unnecessary but also not possible. You would need to croos 1900 miles with wall and that's not even taking into account all the rivers and mountains (ever heard of the Sierra Nevada and the Rio Grande?) in the way. I could go on for pages with what's wrong with his ideas, but you asked me for my solution. Personally, I'm a Sanders supporter and advocate for tuition free college funded by tax increases on the super rich and cutting military spending. I also believe in establishing a police oversight agency to manage and regulate police internal and external conduct to prevent things like unlawful practices and violations of citizens rights. There are many other things that I believe would be beneficial for this country, but none of them hinge upon discriminating against groups of people based on race or religion, or committing war crimes or xenophobic agendas. My ideology, imperfect as it may be, is based on love. Trump's message is rooted in hate and is itself unadulterated hate-speech and war-mongering. If I'm wrong, at least my intentions are that of compassion and aid; not ego, xenophobia, hate, and fear.

Finally an observation about persons that actually makes sense and has political substance. All the brouhaha about candidates is just showbizz and entertainment. It is, in the end, distraction from any actual political process involving citizens. Everyone who buys into the election show is simply volunteering to be reduced to an audience. The whole show is a troll.
