2016 elections - because it's never too early

While tempting, the end of western civilization is a bit of a steep price to pay just to shove it to hypersensitive millennials.

My views on the Trump thing in a nutshell.

[Valmy]

Hey Trump set himself as the King of Racists - so not surprising that people consider using his name as akin to a racist remark.

Ok I get Trump says some out of control shit but come on. Is supporting the leading Republican candidate for President something that destroys an inclusive community? I mean an inclusive community that bans all Republicans as racists does not seem very inclusive. Which is why I have a hard time believing this crap is real. I mean I went to two pretty left wing Universities and this would never have happened.

I mean what if somebody supports Trump for his populist anti-exporting jobs statements? Is that racist? Is it fair to just assume every single Republican who supports Trump is such a racist they should be banned from campus without even having a discussion about it?

Let's agree to disagree.

Edit: That was in response to celedhring and Malthus.

Marty's way of thinking really worries me though. Shitloads of people vote just to troll somebody and that kind of pisses me off. This is a civic duty not a twitter spat.

Well not Marty specifically, as a foreigner he has no obligation to take our insane bullshit politics seriously.

Voting is not a right. It is a duty and an obligation.

"End of western civilization" is a bit extreme. What exactly do people think Trump is going to do?

Are we going to be so racist we're going to get sick of being racist?

We survived Wilson, didn't we.

[Valmy]

No.

Well of course you would say that, having grown up in a totalitarian state. Big brother will watch over Marty.

[celedhring]

Obviously, I was being facetious with the "end of civilization" comment, but the point stands. The damage inflicted to our shared interests isn't worth the trolling potential of a Trump presidency. Valmy summed it up quite well.
