Welcome to the polling community on imzy - for all your polling and public opinion purposes!
Can you not wait for this (USA) election to be over?
I can't wait to stop hearing about all this political nonsense stuff. I'll be much happier when all the hate, pandering, and lawn signs go away. We should have an Imzy celebration after Nov. 8th, not to celebrate whoever wins, but to be thankful it's all over.
I really hate the division politics causes between people, and I hope the end of the election will allow us all to come together, and appreciate more important things, like the grand opening of Imzy! So excited for that!
Have a great day/night everyone!




Since the state of the US has a significant impact on the country in which I am currently living (Japan) and our not-exactly-friend across the sea (ROK) amongst others, it has been important to me to keep up-to-date with things during this period. However, as a British citizen, I have a whole host of other problems going on with politics in my own country (it's really, really not pretty) and I am fairly exhausted from trying to keep on top of everything that's been going down there, as well as the regular day-to-day politics in Japan (the first female Governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, has had a lot on her plate after taking over from the corrupt asshole that was Yoichi Masuzoe). So yes, I'm ready to go back to struggling with following the political affairs of just two countries instead of three, lol.
I was excited about it when Bernie was still in the race. Now that it's over, I really feel like not much will change either way.
Either we continue with the status-quo, or things will get temporarily worse. Either way, it's bad.
And it's out of my control. So I can either feel helpless, or I can give up. And I think I'm probably just going to give up.
I think I'm done trying to fight for justice.
Depends on the outcome. When the fate of the world hangs in the balance (something that wasn't necessarily the case in previous elections), it's kinda difficult to care more that it's over than the actual outcome. This election isn't some kind of inconvenience that people should just muddle through; I know politicians like to make a big deal about how important every election is, but given the unprecedented nature of how one candidate would be ok with starting nuclear war and has fascistic tendencies this is one of those do-or-die elections that the country has to make a particular choice just to survive.
You make some very good points, and I definitely agree. This is the very first time, actually, that I've paid attention to the whole election cycle.
Yeah, it sort of helps how obscure this election is. It makes it sort of interesting. You don't usually see a candidate insult large numbers of people, eat KFC with a fork and knife, and all the other ridiculousness we've been exposed to. It's like the Daily Show said, it's a circus, and there's an element of danger that scares us, but also keeps us interested.
I'm not saying it's not important; I just can't wait for it to be over. Sort of like in college when you're studying for a final exam. It's important to study, but you can't wait for it, and all the stress associated with it, to be over.
That's actually a good analogy. But I still say that the result is more important than "getting it out of the way". Of course, we're all tired; this campaign has been going on for a year and a half. But I'll only be happy when it's over if Hillary comes out the victor.
Even if Hillary becomes the victor, we're still going to have war. We're still going to be continuing the domination that the US has inflicted on the world for the past 100 years. Nothing will really change, on a worldwide scale. That's what I have a problem with.
First of all, Trump isn't going to be president.
Secondly, even in the extremely remote chance that he does, nobody's going to let him do what he says he's going to do. People are a lot more sane than you're giving them credit for. And the President doesn't have as much power as you think.
That's a good thing. For the most part, the world is becoming a more peaceful, prosperous place. The trend towards better living standards will continue. There has been less war and proportionally less death than at any point in human history.
He's got about, depending on estimates, a 1 in 3 to a 1 in 4 chance of becoming president. That's far from "he's not going to".
You think the GOP Congress will not take the opportunity to be a rubber stamp for Trump? Some of them are only giving soft condemnations of him because maybe, in their particular districts, Trump isn't popular. But to those GOP politicians who have a base composed to people who are ok with Trump? They'll go all-out. And even those who condemn him agree with what he says, just not how he says it - so they'll rubber stamp whatever he wants while condemning his rhetoric.
And this isn't to mention SCOTUS at all, which is an important issue by itself, due to their importance on social issues.
I'm glad that you're engaged and that you care.
Just a reminder, Clinton supports these "people" and their apartheid state (as does Trump, but to a lesser extent):

@GuyDudeman is right not to trust Clinton. She uses the terrible thought of Trump to hide her own dangers. They're both liars, covering their support of violence in the Middle East with each others failures, and America needs a better leader, but instead it's stuck with these two.
Thanks for the support. I agree we need to end the occupation of Palestine, with, at the very LEAST, a two-state compromise. I'm not even sure if that will really be the long term solution though.
I'm not even asking for a two-state compromise, I just would like us to stop supporting these people who kick (as well as sexually abuse) children without consequence.
I wish Bernie could've been our leader. He realized the problems, and wasn't afraid to speak out against them. Clinton and Trump are just trying to make ignorant Americans happy by pledging to do the same thing we've done for years without thinking.
If Clinton was not able to become president (like she became ill or passed away or something), the DNC would have to hold another convention to elect a new nominee. Would it then be Bernie, since he had the next highest number of votes? I don't want to wish an illness onto anyone, but maybe Clinton should retire? Please? We all know Bernie would beat Trump. It's what's best for America.
The DNC would actually select Kaine. That's how they work. They're a status-quo party. They're essentially the new "conservative" party.
The Republicans have shown their true colors and are the "reactionary/white supremacy" party.
That only leaves one party on the left and one party to the right of the Democrats but the left of the Republicans, and neither of those two parties are being taken seriously by anyone in the media because the media wants stability and ratings.
