I guess the system really is rigged. Sad!

Can someone explain to me why election day isn't a federal holiday? And why one would need to make the effort to register to vote prior to a certain deadline rather than being automatically enrolled in the system à la select service (aka the draft)? And why online voting is still not a thing when people are forced to…

His best shot is if he wins FL, NC, OH, and MI. Again, it may be unlikely, but it's not impossible. So as much as I'd like to pretend this race is over, I'll be in a hot sweat for the next 24 hours.

Say what you want about the tenets of the alt-right, dude, at least it's an ethos.

This should be known as the confederate-flag-as-your-profile-picture effect.

I wish I had your level of confidence. While Hillary is clearly in the lead, Trump still has a 30% chance of coming out on top (according to 538). That possibility is not really too easy to dismiss - especially during such an unpredictable campaign season. So while I really, really, really hope you are right and I can…

Can someone explain to me the purpose behind political bumper stickers? Does it somehow sway the "undecided voters" when they see a candidate's name on the back of a car?

That's just what the globalist lizard-people want you to believe.

Only in good fun, my friend.

He's simply trying to provoke a reaction to feed his hunger for attention. Best to ignore or block his type rather than engage with them.

Well, David Fincher has already made one successful film about a 2016 presidential candidate: Zodiac .

According to the logic of Harry Lime, a Trump presidency would usher in a new era of high art and culture: "in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had…

It's still a good quote which has a fair amount of truth to it, it's just that i was a bit blindsided by the whole white supremacist angle (which is what I get for not doing proper research).

I agree with everything you said, but let's keep in mind the power that special interests have in what the media covers and what the political parties demand. It's not in the interest of oil companies and other exploiters of the environment to arrive at any "compromise" with regards to environmental protection. They…

This is just a dirty political trick they (i.e. conservative pundits) are playing. They know the issue isn't akin to Watergate (as Trump claims), but they also know that headlines which read "Hillary Clinton" and "FBI Investigation" will certainly damage her brand. They're making a mountain out of a molehill and,…

There's a quote that I saw attributed to Voltaire which read something like: "If you want to know who rules over you, simply find out who you can't criticize." I used to quote this often because of how true it rang. Then I looked it up to provide a citation for it on a paper, only to find out that it wasn't Voltaire…

I've said it before and I'll say it again, democracy simply doesn't work.

This contrived 'neutrality' will be the death of popular media (if it hasn't killed it already). It's the reason why major issues such as climate change, income inequality, and poverty didn't come up once during the debates - because you know Republicans would cry foul over the "liberal" framing of these issues. So,…

If you can classify Under the Skin as a horror film (which might be a big if since the the film largely defies any classification whatsoever), I'd certainly throw that one in there as well.
