Shit, at least Johnson will hopefully NOT get us involved in any more shit in the Middle East. It'd be great if we had someone that gave a legitimate shit about what goes on within our borders and not the borders of some far flung pain in the ass third world shithole.

That's why I'm voting for him

Is it like that dems don't like to give free shit for poor blacks and mudslimes? How does extension of wellfare works for the wealthy?

That's part of the pretense I mentioned. They act like they care about the downtrodden, but behind the scenes, they don't. Welfare is mostly window dressing for them. They say they want to save the trees, but are happy to craft a bill favoring the timber companies. They decry wealth inequality, but vote to rig the tax code in favor of the rich, and take campaign money from Wall Street. Etc., etc., etc.

The GOPer politicians, by comparison, are some of the most un-christian guys out there, but they like to bray on and on about the Ten Commandments, Jesus, scripture, etc., etc., etc. It's easy votes from their base. In private, they don't really seem to believe any of it. Classic scenario: GOPer rails against homosexuality while he himself has a cabana boy on the side. Or they rail about Bill Clinton's affairs, while at the same time they're cheating on their wives, too. Or they rant about ending Roe v. Wade, while they're quietly sending their mistress off to a clinic to "take care of a little problem." Or they cut funding for food stamps, home heating assistance for the elderly, school lunch programs, homeless shelters, drug treatment programs, etc., all while cheerfully spouting bible verses and talking about Jesus.

Both parties suck.

At this point, I honestly will not be surprised if there are riots on election day (no matter who wins).

Sadly, I have to agree. If Trump wins, I expect to see incidents not unlike post-game hooliganism after the home team wins a big playoff championship.

If Trump loses, I predict isolated incidents of violence over a period of several weeks. The violence will be mostly in poor or rural areas, and targeted against Democratic candidates' offices and staff, collegiates, and individuals who look gay, middle-eastern, or Muslim. Maybe it will just amount to a lot of harassment and yelling, a broken window or two, etc., but you will see at least a few angry Trump voters go even further down that road. Christ, I hope I'm wrong about that, but somehow I don't think I will be.
 
Hillary is the only waifu president. You know who you must vote for

This week begins, and I already just want it to be over. I can't honestly bring myself to envision voting for either of them, legitimately; imagining either of them on that night and what follows has got me more depressed than I've ever been in my whole life, and I'm not the kind of person who tends to dwell on that sort of thing.

In some way, I've known a hefty portion of my adult life that both parties are just holding up a mirror to each other; but I don't think in my lifetime have we EVER come to a point where it's so blatantly on display that the conscious mind is all but forced into acknowledging it. There really is NOTHING different between them, between either Clinton or Trump; you're looking at all but the same picture standing on opposite podiums; and the only thing I can find myself hoping for is that whoever is elected will stand ultimately alone. Just ride out the next four years with as little alteration or incident as possible.
