POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

--- Quote from: IkeTheGeneric on September 28, 2016, 10:53:11 AM ---I was kind of trying to make a subtle jab at the cuck nonsense. Anyone who uses cuck in this thread unironically should feel bad for ruining such a great insult by associating it with politics.
I can't say cuck now without looking like a diaper-clad alt right fifteen year old with anger issues

it'll probably subside once Annoying Orange loses
IkeTheGeneric:
I hope Annoying Orange loses. Not because I like Clinton, but because it would be a great moment of clarity for everyone on how stuffty this country's politics are. Nine times out of ten it's going to be an uphill battle for the loud and controversial candidate when they're running against the safer, more reserved and pro-establishment candidate.
It takes a lot more than wanting to make the country a better place. The political system is extremely cannibalistic and the rules of the game are borderline improvisational. I'm not going to pretend I know how it works, but it'll at the very least be a shock that the least attractive candidate who makes everyone angry wins, because it means at the very least political tradition could have changed (which would be horrifying to say the least)
LeisureSuit912:
The first national post-debate poll shows Clinton leading by 4 points (45-41). This previous polling firm had Annoying Orange leading by 1 point

its funny cause i thought the same way except with Annoying Orange winning. but honestly at this point i think a win either way will force people to rethink politics, though if Annoying Orange loses, more would rethink it than if clinton loses, due to the demographic and reasons for voting.

yeah i also thought the moderator was unfairly against Annoying Orange. who won would have been more clear if there wasn't an obvious question bias against Annoying Orange, especially on non-issues like birther. that was incredibly stupid.
