@Strydz: Same as the previous debate. Top 10 main stage, 6 in the undercard debate.

Libertarians everywhere, someone help us. Pfft

I did this thing while ago and was labeled as Left-Authoritarian, but not so much away from centre. Pretty much crosswise from Jesleyhs dot.

Liberal right-leaner.
On the Republican presidential debate- I thought each candidate spent their time seeing who could lean further to the right- and as for Trump, for someone who says he hates politicians he sure speaks in soundbites.

It's a bit of a strange dynamic if other republican candidates try to "out-Trump" the Trump-inator by edging further and further right. In my experience, elections usually end up with parties being involved a "race to the centre", trying to capture the mid-range voters, whom naturally are the largest precentage.

After all, what doesn't kill the Trump, only makes him Trumpier.

PS: I don't have the furthest idea if that "whom" was used correctly, but it sounded right so I went for it, Trump-style. If you dissagree, then you are clearly a menstruating, drug-dealing no-good immigrant.

Unfortunately, that's a lot how primaries work. People need to go as far extreme as possible, because they can't get the nomination without getting that demographics vote. Then once they win the nomination, it's a dart back to the center.

Well, according to UK media, Rand Paul has destroyed the US tax code and Lindsey Graham has smashed his phone to death with a baseball bat. And Graham didn't even reach the top debate.

Does it matter who is voted American president anyway? I dont care, i just want them to stay away from exporting "democracy" to the rest of the world by airstrikes and supporting the terrorist, because it is good in a short term and fight them back in the long term to have a destroyed areas, which they can rebuild and support their industry.

Obama or Bush, both are same shit. Fuck USA

Can someone with more "inside information" explain to me in short how Jeb Bush is doing? I seem to be seeing a fair amount of "Iraq" being thrown in there.

If your last name is Bush, and you willingly talk about Iraq, you must be in deep shit.

Basically, this is correct.
Politics don't matter anymore. It's the multinationals who rule. And you never lose if you play both sides. So it's not that silly to think those multinationalists are beyond both parties. Who gets elected is just a minor game for them, I guess.

Why would they stay away from "exporting democracy" loool. That is naive, do you realise how much not only the USA makes from military industrial complex, not even to mention how these candidates personally benefit from these ventures. I mean the USA has a culture of priding itself on its war machine, I mean why did this country even become a superpower in the first place.

We really should stop dreaming, if there's a day that all the American troops are properly inside our own border then I probably won't live to see it Grin

@cactus-jack: Reporter asked whether he would've supported the Iraq war knowing what we know now. He said yes. The next day at a rally he said no. Then they questioned him and he said he misunderstood the question. So he is presented as a flip flopper Pfft

Wow... I have to jump in here. So many comments about the naivety of the USA only demonstrate the naivety of the posters, or perhaps their tender age. And as for how the US became a superpower.... Ask your Granddad. And then see if you have the courage to say FUCK THE USA.

For all the bungled and naive attempts at intervention in the middle east, the Americans have at least tried while all Europe does is ruminate, vacillate & hesitate. Even though the crisis is on their doorstep.

Or how about the Ukraine eh ? When Putin gives the go ahead to let the tanks roll (again) will you still be chanting FUCK THE USA. I don't think so.

I am actually very interested in history and have read and study a lot about both world wars and following years and i am still able to say it.

First, the country when i was born was "deliberated" (and later "enslaved" ) by the Soviet Union, not USA. Of course it was also possible because of US (and british,canadian,australian, czech, french and whatever soldiers) pressing the Hitlers Germany from the West, but when the mighty USA decided to join the war? It was not before they were directly attacked by Japanese at Pearl Harbor and before they calculated that rebuilding a destroyed Europe as the partner could be actually a good business and political move.

Dont get me wrong, i and majority of the people will be forever grateful for help in closing days of WW2, but more to a soldiers, rather then their goverment.

Also we are discussing things 70 years old, while the sentence Fuck the USA was more directed to everything what came after from land of false religion and consumption. Vietnam, Nicaragua, Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq, just a few examples. That is not enough for you, should i close my eyes in front of these giant clusterfucks because the helped us in the past?

So yeah, fuck USA. Not their citizens, ordinary people, but their culture of being the self-proclaimed centerpiece of freedom, their politics and whoever is pulling the strings in last 60 years.

I cant agree more but I have to add something. I also hate citizens in the USA. But only the ones, who think that America is awesome as fuck in all ways. Also those who think that they're really bringing freedom to everyone. My guess for the next country who needs a bit of Freedom? Norway, because they have oil....I mean, because they are not free.
