Donald Trump for President Thread

[Gladystweet]

Think they have another election in 2 years. Not for President, but something else. Reckon whoever invented this system owned a paper mill.

*prays for the trees

Some things are voted on every 2 years.

Here in tree hugging, left wing liberal Washington State I am certain the ballots are printed on 100% recycled paper with bio friendly ink.

Phew. *stops praying for the trees.

Merican Left Wing is a bit Cameron really though?

Can cover a wide range tbh, huge regional variances , although yes at a national level "left" would probably be more right leaning than the equivalent UK.

And the left here's to the right...

I can't speak for those gas guzzling, right wing biffs in the south though.

No idea tbh, @mezzrow might know as it was/is his state. Here in California we simplfy it by being so left wing that Socialists can run as regular democrats

Doesn't matter. They're all splitters that exist to primarily provide a living to the party hierarchy. Same with the various Freedom and Natural Law parties on the right.

In California most of the regular democrats are socialists, to be sure.

We had local elections in August. The ballot was much larger for that.

Abe Lincoln would be fuming if he was around today, these two bring shame on some of the greats of the past.

I've heard they drive their hummers straight at giant red woods.

We can speak for ourselves just fine, thanks. (resumes reloading brass...)

How do you think we got rid of all those giant redwoods that used to be down here?

Since the Top Two Open primary act you often just get to choose between two different flavours of democrats in the general election!
http://www.acgov.org/rov/top2openprim.htm
On June 8, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 14, which created the "Top-Two Open Primary Act".

Prior to the "Top-Two Open Primary Act", candidates running for partisan office appeared only on their own party's ballot. The top vote-getter from each qualified political party and any candidates who qualified using the independent nomination process would then move on to the general election.

Now, under the "Top-Two Open Primary Act", all candidates running, regardless of their party preference, will appear on a single combined ballot, and voters can vote for any candidate from any political party. The "Top-Two Open Primary Act" would not affect the election of President or County Central Committees, which are still party specific contests. The "Top-Two Open Primary Act" requires that only the two candidates for voter-nominated offices who receive the highest and second-highest number of votes cast at the primary shall appear on the ballot as candidates at the ensuing general election.(EC8141.5)

The "Top-Two Primary Act" changes the way elections are conducted for all statewide offices including:

• Governor
• Lieutenant Governor
• United States Senator
• Secretary of State

• Controller
• Insurance Commissioner
• Board of Equalization
• U.S. Representative

• State Senator
• State Assembly
• State Treasurer
• Attorney General

Non-partisan offices such as judges, schools, special districts, municipalities and the Superintendent of Public Instruction would remain open to all eligible voters.

Are you sure you want to go there? You were doing fine to this point but I will go directly to the mods should this continue.

If it were me, I would think about what I just said and reconsider.

Just what are you accusing us of? In 2016? Do you feel this is a valid accusation you're making there?

Got any evidence?

Christ mate it was a joke. Perhaps a bit tasteless, but certainly not meant to be serious.

The comment has been deleted. No harm or inference meant, imo, so lets leave it there.
