I Went to a Trump Rally Expecting Violence, What I Found Was Quiet Desperation

The thing about polls: Pollsters have no way to predict or track the voters that usually don't vote and are not registered in any party. The underbelly of our political system... The people who have given up and don't bother voting for the duopoly candidates. Has Trump tapped into this resource? That's the question. Did the media do everyone a disservice by filling the airwaves with Trump? We know the plan was to ensure Hillary would run against the least likeable and least qualified Republican, so they focused on Trump and gave him millions worth of exposure. The non-voters, who typically ignore politics, found the Trump coverage hard to miss. The media have been promoting the "Dangerous" Trump meme and in such a breathless manner it's caused the non-voters to notice and piqued their interest. Non-voters know how biased the media are and they aren't as stupid as the media loves to portray them. Long story short: Non-voters could be the voters who return for the first time in a long time this election. Do you think non-voters would be motivated by a candidate such as Hillary, or one like Trump?

If Trump wins, it'll be the non-voter votes that do it, and we can all thank the liberal media for fear mongering. It's like they don't understand their consumers. The type of consumer who buys the "Dangerous" Trump meme is already a blue ticket voter, and the other consumers see through the bullshit. All they have done is tap the potential in the rightwing sector, motivating long time non-voters, many of which are the dreaded deplorables.

If by capitalism you mean selling the white house to global corporatists and foreign oil oligarchies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia for tens of millions of dollars in "speaking fees," and fucking American labor by bringing in millions of illegal Spic wetback workers working for pennies on the dollar to benefit her paymasters with cheap labor then yes I hate that.

so do I before I'm dead. The problem is Americans always say they want change, but rarely do anything about it.
The conventional wisdom is Trump is too "radical"for change ; what I think is really happening is the Dem's don't want it.
They are quite happy to ride even a Crooked Hillary into the White House.

But also the press is now the establishment in that ANYTHING that challenes corptocratic/plutocratic rule is a threat
not just to career politicians,but entrenched special interests. And you can add the press into the latter.

All I can tell you is keep the faith.. keep the message, keep trying..McGovern never made it either-
he was looked at as a flawed candidate.

And with hyper-politicization, it's difficult to get groups like Hispanics and blacks onboard.
But you gotta go for it - you have this revolutionary idea to throw out Big Money politics. stay true.
Be persuasive, get active -whatever you can do.
 
"dear idiots you are running a ceo" E #31

The U.S. presidency is an executive office, head of the executive branch of U.S. federal government. POTUS is the CEO of the USA.

Governors are the CEO's of their State governments.

And I gather candidates like Romney was a CEO, in the private sector.

Prior CEO experience is useful, probably better than (for counterexample) legislative experience, such as that of Obama and Hillary.

"designer suits do not make a plutocrat."

Oh.

"Pantsuits do not make one a woman of the people."

Correct.

However:
Here to fore the Clinton's have been effective agents for advancing the interests of the "middle-class".
I have not noticed any persuasive indication there is a change pending in that trend.
To the contrary, I thought Hillary was running on an economic platform of fiscal responsibility one component of which was increased taxes on the wealthy.

Let us please bear in mind, the most recent U.S. presidents to run consecutive "balanced budgets" was U.S. President Clinton (male).

A palpable sadness consumed the Newtown, Pennsylvania recreation center Friday night as Donald Trump took to the stage for his final rally of the day. But what was even more shocking than the somber mood of the room was how much the audience size paled in comparison to the majority of the nominee's prior events.

A mere 25 miles outside of Philadelphia, Trump could barely fill a gymnasium.

The audience demographics, however, mirrored that of the town [3]. The rally was nearly 100% white, with the majority of women in attendance over 40.

"We're going to be bringing jobs back to Pennsylvania, folks," Trump announced along with a myriad of other classic campaign promises.

His attack on the media, particularly CNN, seemed to rile up the crowd the most.

"CNN sucks," they chanted at the press pen while the overflow crowd outside was scanned by members of the heavily armed Bucks County police department.

But if there's one conspiracy mainstream media can be faulted with perpetuating, it's that Trump supporters are "working-class" rebels. Because with a media household income of $65,000, Newtown residents hardly represent Trump's mythically impoverished base [4].

In two weeks, Donald Trump will most likely lose the election. But it's unclear if his supporters will accept its result, much less who they will rally behind next.

If we lose, we will simply continue to be the resistance. We'll immediately begin to plan ways to sabotage all of Hillary's programs. We will resist every possible way imaginable.

And you will never catch me calling the gangster in the white house Madame president. I may sarcastically call her Madame secretary in the coming months.

Yes.

Republican obstructionism is now a broadly familiar feature of the political landscape in the U.S.
Apparently Republican leaders think obstructing government is a viable substitute for actual governance.

And it seems there's a growing backlash specifically about that among the electorate.

Ironically, it may already be affecting the down-ballot races.

Voters grasp the concept:
If we vote for Republicans, they simply aren't going to do what the Founders intended them to do.
- They'll shut down the government (as they have already done numerous times before).
- They'll impeach the president (as they have already done with one President Clinton). &
- Republicans will continue to prioritize their own petty partisan rivalries above the good governance of the People of the United States.

Why should we vote for Republicans if they're not going to work toward the best interests of the People that pay them?
"Shutting down the government in my view is not conservative policy. I don't think a two week paid vacation for federal employees is conservative policy.
A number of us were saying back in July that this [government shutdown] strategy could not and would not work. And of course, it didn't. So there'll not be another government shutdown. You can count on that." Sen. McConnell (R-KY) CBS-TV Face The Nation 13/10/20

CNN does suck.

They need to be investigated and shut down. They are in collusion with the DNC and this is illegal campaigning.
