BYAAAH!!!

This article just reminded me how awful Mission Impossible II was. Now I'm sad.

That's right, because people don't vote for candidates for reasons besides race, I forgot. Taxes, foreign policy, national security, access to healthcare… nope, people only say, "Hmm, as a white/black/Hispanic/Asian/Romulan-American, how will this affect me?" Race isn't the most important thing to everyone, even if it…

Well, shit, I didn't know it was still in use, either! This was the first I've heard of it.

Yes, Sanders' supporters are mostly white, but what does that have to do with him not winning the nomination?

Wait, it's an insult to call Democrats Democrats? You say "the Republican race", not "the Republican's race", so why would you change the formula for Democrats? Honestly, I didn't mean anything by it, and admittedly I'm not a grammar expert, but shit, if people are going to be that thin-skinned, I don't know what to…

Shit, man, if there was a Nobel Prize for injecting race into literally everything, I'd nominate you for it.

It's not even "faith", really, it's just history and common sense. Presidents always campaign that they're going to shake things up, change everything, etc. You've got two hundred-some Representatives and 50-or-so Senators who mostly agree with them, but also have their own agendas and races to win. And most of them…

He can try to "work around it" all he wants. You'll only get so far. I'm honestly more afraid of who ends up as my county commissioner or city council member.

And isn't it great, that we have a Constitution that prohibits him from doing those things, even if he is elected? Which he won't be? I think it's just swell.

Hey, remember how Obama's party overrode his own veto a week or so ago? And they fucking love Obama. Most Republicans are wary of Trump, or are only reluctantly supporting him because they hate Clinton.

"Allowing"? Who the hell is allowing anything? Where did this narrative come from that the GOP was kissing Trump's ass from the word go? There's a huge number of Republicans that opposed him and many still do. But he got the most votes, so he got the nomination. Because Democracy.

It's sad that I actually have these articles bookmarked because of the amount of times people have asked me, "Hillary Clinton? Corrupt? Why I never! Surely, you jest!"

Well, that's the great thing about checks and balances: they work whether or not you believe in them. Obama recently had a veto overriden by his own party. Whether you agree with the decision or not, it shows how even the President has to negotiate and compromise.

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

But they have defied him, repeatedly. And his "base" is a joke. Most of them shit on the GOP "establishment" as much as you do. A lot of them are closet libertarians and/or paleoconservatives of the Pat Buchanan model. In four years, a shiny object will distract them and they'll be a non-issue.

Liberals.

Wait, so a shitload of elected officials didn't just pull their endorsements recently? Plus, guys like the man I voted for, John Kasich, who never endorsed him at all. Believe me, we hate him just as much as you do - he basically handed this election to Hillary. But we're not afraid of him; he's a clown, not a…

Wait, just last week you people were ripping on the Republicans who had un-endorsed him, so which is it? I guess you just can't please some people.

How about, incredibly sane and logical? We have a system of checks and balances in place, plus a President needs the support of Congress to get things passed. I'm not saying Trump wouldn't be a disaster, which is why I'm not voting for him. But he wouldn't be able to put people in Gulags, either.
