Ever notice people say "I hate Donald Trump" but virtually no one says "I love Hillary Clinton"?

Is this what it's come down to? Either pro trump or anti trump, for the most part? I mean...we might elect a president that hardly anyone wants, just because they want the other person less? Personally, I want to sweep out the old guard corrupt establishment that's proven to be in bed with media, justice department, and foreign governments. Those all add up the democracy / the republic being a myth.

There seems to be many people that hate both of the candidates. But there are also many that seem to support one or the other. But what you said about electing a president because they want the other person less is I think true.

Professional politicians who spend their whole lives serving in government was never what was intended. The Founders did not want to have royalty here which is why they designed a system of government where average people could serve a couple of terms before going back to their farms or shops or jobs. It was never designed to be a government of professional politicians. Personally I'd love to see all of Congress voted out of office as well.

True that! I think that's the real only appeal of Trump. Anti-existing politicians. That's the same idea that Obama got noticed for. Change. He said things that were different from other politicians and had a different attitude. However change was not so easy because of all the fat asses that were sitting in those seats in Congress and the Senate. That's where the change needs to take place.

There are good people in government and there are bad. You get rid of all of them and bring in people who don't know what they're doing and you'll have chaos.
It's not like changing channels. It's not another TV show. It's real, and there are serious skills.
You need to start educating yourself and become an actual real citizen.
To say they're all alike is a lazy cop-out.

You're right But it's exhausting to educate yourself on every candidate to learn what they're really about and their voting record every couple of years. Most politicians say one thing to appease one group and will say the opposite to appease another group. It's why most people don't take the time to get involved or don't bother to vote at all.

Stefano, I do agree that there are good people and bad people. But I don't see how anyone who has been on the government payroll at $174,000 a year as a Congressman for 20 or 30 years can know the first thing about the lives of any citizens who actually work. Or farm. Or run a small business. I'd much rather have an actual farmer pass laws that concern farming than a government worker who probably can't even start a tractor.
