US Elections 2016
Lait_Choco:
Lol'd hard with CNN's The non Americans' guide to US elections. According to them, on Why is the turnout so pathetic?:" ... Compare that with Belgium. In 2014, nearly 90% of those who could vote did."
Nice comparison/research CNN. The glorious and great kingdom of Belgium :3 has compulsory voting, so of course there's gonna be a lot of people voting. :fp:

Bernie woulda ended this presidential race months ago
Wayshow:
I actually disagree mojo, I think Bernie could have put up a good fight, but he falls into the overly-idealistic-but-with-no-money-or-support-from-congress category that Jill stein falls into, albeit on a smaller level (I.e he didn't make a lie the center part of his platform *cough* Jill stein quantitative easing *cough*)
Ugh. I really really hate populism :@

There's no such thing as an unbiased source. They all filter.

Different levels of filter, my friend. You have Breitbart(crazy wacko right) then you have the New York Times(lean left). When was the last time Wikileaks released an article about anyone BUT Hillary? Assange also claims there is no dirt on trump. Okay Julian.
Mojo:
Trump Won.
