Bah, I keep getting the two mixed up.

That's just it though. How on earth could America whittle it down to these two clowns?
That's what I'm afraid of. My reply was to Shionoro's post where he said USA will be a spectator in foreign politics. Which is something I'm completely alright with

At least no republican candidate had 500,delegates before any votes were cast in primaries.
he didn't say the US will be an spectator, he said the US will be useless. Those are two drastically different things. Trump has not offered the US will withdraw. He has offered the aggressive foreign policy I mentioned with the context of "we are gonna win now" and that the US has to make its enemies fear to mess with the US. Which I would argue is basically what happened through the reagan and bush years and as we all know that not only doesn't work but does the exact opposite of making US enemies fear the US (it's exactly that sort of attitude that created the terrorism problem to begin with). Add to that trump's plan to cozy up to russia and basically enabling their own aggressive and intrusive foreign policy.

He said:
Which basically means US will do nothing. I'm alright with it. I think US intervention makes things worse.
The results are the results - Due to the wonderful craziness of the American system, Trump can win the presidency even though he lost the popular vote.
See zimby, your "in what ever form they see injustice" is dangerous thinking. You want every citizen to pursue their own warped and deformed idea of justice? Don't you see the problem there? Especially when the preceived injustice isn't even there?The results are the results - Due to the wonderful craziness of the American system, Trump can win the presidency even though he lost the popular vote.
But just because they didn't get their desired candidate, doesn't mean that they should just roll over and take it like a bitch.
In fact, now is the exact time when they shouldn't just accept their fate.
Whining may not be so useful/productive, but protesting is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy.
If you don't protest injustice (in whatever form you see it) when it rears its ugly head, then it is likely that you will see more of it - as the people in power (Trump/Republicans/whoever) will see that they can get away with more and more.
If you care about your country, you have to be willing to protest what you don't believe in - passively accepting losses doesn't help you/your country/democracy/freedom/patriotic-American-music-combined-with-exaggerated-flag-waving.
A good number of them ate what the brainwashed media intel to vote against Trump, at this point having so many of them protest like this is the very consequence of at least a good chunk of the very stupid mainstream media, the type that was calling Trump, "X" and "Y" lies that were unjustified, the same media that jumps into conclusions and gets bad results, the same media that tries to trap the people talks for proving some prestablished, goal they have been setting up. The alternative media is rising up because the mainstream media kept going on and going on with a lot of BS and they lost a lot of credibility, if the dems are angry about this result, they can protest but if they turn the whole thing into a riot they desserve to be put in their place, just like Salty republicans would have if they had lost the election and started riots, Califrexit is quite the joke as well.
Oh don't get me wrong here, I have nothing against protests. But when the idea behind protests isn't to make people aware of what they're protesting, but their goal being pursuit of some injusitce it will always end badly. The protests will either turn into riots with vandalism everywhere or worse, people taking things upon themselves(like your assassination example...
I fear this is gonna happen dawg. I've been saying that Hillary was as a trash candidate as Trump but I don't think any civil war among white against people of color would happen cause she's not as conversational as Trump, even though she has her crooked ways too. Feels like we just took hella steps back as country which is really sad cause I felt like we came far in some aspects compared to other countries. I've seen reports of KKK running rampart down south and having their meetings out in the open now. RIP AmericaOh seems like some dems want civil war 2, this election was quite heated to say the least.
Well BLM as also been going edgy for a while now, I'd say america would've had civil war eitherway, if hillary had won, since the american people would've most likely gone violent with new refugee wave clinton would've allowed, assuming they or some would go as wild in the US cities as they went in paris.
I am not alright with that, the US will leave a big power vacuum under Trump.
Well to be honest trump shouldnt be focusing too much in foreign policies when there are other stuff he needs done internally right now, he should honestly let putin deal with ISIS right now and focus on the constitutional rights being followed, taking out obamacare and focusing on the new trade agreements and deportations of ilegal criminals, military wise he shouldnt get so focused right now on syria because it's gonna be a waste of more money and he needs to gather a lot of intel about a lot of stuff there before making any new movements last thing trump would want is make a mistake there and stop his good relations with russia, the US military generals have been acting a bit too edgy recently, they need some serious stand by time (and some need to seriously be replaced, like the idiot that was threatning to beat the crap out of russia and thus starting nuclear ww3
I would have accepted it if a possible president sanders would have said 'i will concentrate my efforts domestically'.
US don't need to get involved in every conflict. They have enough problems of their own. Other countries should try to take care of their problems.
