Goosey 3,017 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 4 minutes ago, Gagaloo92 said: America should really not be held up to this great standard for democracy. I'm American, and literally our process for electing a President allows them to win without winning a majority of the popular vote, which is how democracy should be. Instead, with the help of the electoral college, we can have presidents like Bush and now Trump who weren't even voted in by a majority of Americans. If they only went by the popular vote then people living in cities will always overrule those living in rural areas. People in populous states will always overrule smaller states. That's not fair either. "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J. Trump Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked today with the situation and I think I kinda need to change my perspective of you all American from the bottom up from now on. But I guess the title of the thread is too offensive tho. Not all American are stupid. You can neither judge the fruit by the appearance of the tree nor book from its cover Its tough to live here because when you find the kind of people that you describe the experience is all that plus more. We have communities, some that are HUGE, like cities of Millions where people are open minded and open hearted, but there is also different communities with different believes and ways of life.

I saw the statistics of who voted for Trump. Old, white, uneducated, mainly Christian, white men. Their number one issue they believe the US is facing? Terrorism. Nothing wrong with believing terrorism is a problem cuz it 110% is. But all I read with these results is: Fear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm 879 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 No this is just Europeans thinking they are more cleaver and superior while look at whats happening to their country, they ended it by their stupidity of supporting socialism. Atleast America has values and sticked to what made the west great. The reason Trump exists is because the left are turning into extreme leftists and so the right need to fight that back with the extreme right to balance things out. It would actually be more stupid to vote for the establishment hilary who is a criminal for the past couple of decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan 0 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Honestly, people are over reacting. They think Trump will do some insane things but you know he does not have the ultimate call in all things. It passes through congress and congress wont allow some of his stupid agendas to ever happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO Millenials voted for Harambe, Selena Gomez and Harry Styles!! 11,000 votes were casted for Harambe!! You think they care for shxts?! Majority of them are Bernie Sanders supporters who won't vote for anyone but him! Overestimate young generation too much tbh! Go to that 25-40 years old group, that is where the sane heads are.

Go to that 25-40 years old group, that is where the sane heads are. These are still a minority. 18-25 year old's poll results actually shows they are very much sane compared to the 50+ year olds. But I do sort of agree I might be overestimating our generation. Still, I'm 99% sure Hilary would have been elected if millenials were the ones voting.
