Alternatives to Trump

This is for all the anti Trump people on here - rather than just moaning about how bad Trump is in your humble opinion. Who would you vote for instead and why? Eg E Warren for tax policies, Chang for economic reasons etc etc - so rather than just moaning you’re actually suggesting an alternative!

A piece of plywood would be a good alternative at this point, though I'd miss all the headlines. One thing you mad Americans are good at it is voting complete lunatics into office and I'm not just talking about the presidential one either. Though if you ran the piece of plywood as a Democrat you'd have the Republicans squawking that it was the anti-Christ while shaking their fist that it wasn't doing enough it's power to keep the immigrants at bay or doing enough to stop the trade of illegal drugs. While the moment a gust of wind knocked the piece of wood over, the Republicans would rage and shake their fists saying that the piece of plywood was doing far too much, and before you know it, it would do away with the constitution all together and be about to make itself king of north America. Which just goes to show that you just can't win. While the current maniac has done everything from leave allies to die in the dust to trying to extort an entire other country into doing his dirty work for him. Bloody odd world, but then the Christians have always been a strange lot, they've always put their money on the wrong horse. I mean getting all excited about some fellow who got himself nailed to some wood, talk about being bad at picking a winning horse. Not that Christianity certainly hasn't done its own damage over the years, as Trump has.

@MarmeeMarch No the English and Australian politician is your usual run of the mill hypocrite, but the American breed is something else. On the other hand Americans actually believe their politics makes a difference, they actually believe that their candidates will fight for the average citizen. Which they don't. Americans believe it all matters which is why they get so worked up, and why they all spend a fortune on campaigning and donations and all the rest of it. Bloody pathetic. Most politicians are lawyers, and any decent crooked businessman knows it's better to pay a politician then to bother becoming one, but then Trump was never a decent crooked businessman, he's just plain crooked.

@Allelse you mean like a country that prides itself on being [i]environmentally friendly[/i] while exporting nearly 80% of it's coal to China, then blames its energy shortage crisis on climate change?

I mean, last I checked, China occupies the same planet as Australia... how stupid can your politicians be?

And that is the irony of environmentalists, pass their problems to someone else then pride themselves on saving the planet...lol

@wildbill83 Australian prides itself on being environmentally friendly? Not in my experience. You should hear the fuss Australians make when a bush turkey digs up their backyard. A native bush turkey which was on the brink of extinction but which is back with a vengeance, but it digs up people's gardens!! Well they cant have that and so its DEATH to the bush turkey, and nobody bats an eyelid about it being a native animal. So dont worry any about of that nonsense. And our politicians? Well they're not much different than politicians anywhere else, except that they dont take any of it so seriously, but Americans do. They think it all matters when it really doesn't as change comes with time and time tends to keep to its own schedule. The very fact Americans have those ridiculous rallies, which are akin to a form of hero worship just goes to show; it's so pathetic. But!! Americans have always been a dramatic lot, a bit like the French. I mean look at the founding fathers with all their tripe about liberty, while keeping their slaves and doing what they could to kill or cage up the red man. As I said, change comes with time and time tends to keep to its own schedule. For example slavery would have ended anyway but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The Americans had to have a war over it and kill a half million of their own people. Bunch of bloody drama queens. And then!! Have the nerve to try and say they were fighting for the liberty of their enslaved black brother!!! Something which most other civilized countries had grown out of and ended with an act of government.
