I think that it's about 50 or so days till the election. I'm not even American and it's so goddamned exhausting.

Make them elected and dark money will guarantee that the self-same bastards are elected. You think that democracy is a roadblock to these people?

Not surprised that it happened, shocked that the story got out.

Sorry Feller, you lost me. Enjoy your vote.

Jesus, man, where have you been hiding the last nine years?

You might as well vote for Trump and do it clean, because that's all you are helping.

Look, I'm on your side. I've been against US shitty dealings forever. Iraq, Palestine, favoured treatment towards Israel, meddling in elections, overturned democratic governments, proxy wars... All of it. But Trump is an existential threat. If the house is burning down you don't worry about weeds in the fricken garden. If Trump gets in again Palestine is going to turn into a Walmart carpark. It will probably become Israeli territory, officially, and Arab blood will flow accordingly.

It's a shitty choice, but the real world is not like the movies. Voting for a third candidate and making Trump president won't help anyone.

Well, I think those is your options? Or not vote at all.

You are free to vote for Trump then. I'm told many are.

You must have missed the bit where Trump constantly says that he's the best friend Israel ever had. I mean constantly.

I'm sure that won't translate to arms supply. Possibly fruit baskets?

Of course. Apologies

I must say that I am willing for him to go to jail with Trump.

Voting also brings people like Trump into play. How do you think that will play out with Palestine should he get in again?

Look, it does actually work in Western Europe, the UK, Australia and NZ. All this talk that it can't work is plainly wrong.

What is impossible to get around is American exceptionalism. People just can't conceive that other systems might be better. Fine. I apologise for suggesting otherwise. Enjoy.
