There's one Supreme Court opening now, and a good chance of at least one more in the next four years. Who gets to make those nominations could have long-lasting ramifications.
I had my share of those, but I have the feeling that the current candidates are equally bad. If I vote for one of them, I am responsible for what they end up doing to the country.
I think what GFK_of_xmaspast is saying is that, even if you think that all (remember third party!) Presidential candidates are equally bad, you should go vote for the other things on your ballot. Local/state initiatives, local representatives, etc.
Honestly, in many ways, those are likely to directly affect you _way_ more than the President anyway. Most (all?) states will let you leave parts of your ballot blank; just don't pick a President if you don't want to.
All of my state and local elections are filled with bullshit issues and bullshit candidates too.
Voting isn't going to do shit in NJ. Never has. Never will. That's because everything is super corrupted around here since we're one of the oldest and most populated states.
My time is better spent doing things I enjoy. If I wanted to change things for the better, I'd move to a better area.
Seems like a fear-mongering advertisement with no relevant context on it's own. Wikileaks has a political agenda of it's own, so you still have to take their commentary with a grain of salt. It's particularly ironic that they use climate change as an example, what with Trump being a huge climate change denier.
Yeah, HRC has some issues, but I have no doubt that a Trump presidency leads to a lot of social setback as a country, which is a true shame given the progress women, minorities, and the lgbt community have made over the last several decades.
No, their particular way of asking without actually pointing me at concrete information to look at is the issue. It's trying to get a rise out of you to visit their site. It's an advertisement.
I disagree. If Wikileaks is fear-mongering there's a good reason for doing it. And as it says, Wikileaks has done a lot more for journalism than the top news agency have done in a century. I would not trust the mainstream media's propaganda of anit-women, anit-imigrant trump ticket.
IMHO wikileaks has been loosing all credibility due to the way that it has been behaving on this campaign. I'm European and always looked at wikileaks as an interesting source of data (with some salt).
What significant wrongdoings were there in the emails? The foundation got money from all kinds of questionable sources and spent only 68% on charity stuff. Who cares?

This is not the place. Keep that bullshit on Twitter, Facebook or somewhere else.
