Donald Trump's Ego Is Going to Further Polarize American Politics

Yes, his egotism and superiority complex is not at all justified by actually being successful, in fact as a businessman he's quite the failure.

 

They are Still opinions.

 

I detect nothing but pure lies, jealousy and hate

 

But here's the rub for you, they're the opinions that one should adopt.

 

Remember folks, a vote for Trump is quite simply and clearly a vote to take America a good deal further to the dark side.

 

Democrat Harry Reid was the ultimate DO NOTHING in Congress.

 

Not stupid ones.

 

Your detector, along with your moral compass, are alas quite seriously broken.

 

A vote for Hillary is a vote for corruption and disgrace.

 

republicans have controlled congress the last 6 years, what have they accomplished or even TRIED to accomplish?

.

 

Mr. Trump also (grievously) lacks moral decency, and if elected president will promptly disgrace the office and country. And he's also a sexist, a racist, an anti-Muslim bigot, an incompetent, and erratic. At least Mrs. Clinton doesn't suffer from these additional shortcomings, and is therefore clearly the better choice.

 

Only GOD can judge Mr Trump.

Voting forHillary will also be a vote for socialism, more taxation, open borders, terrorism and deceit.

 

Oh my, this is quite a lame cop-out. And, although I'm not really a fan of judgmentalism, it is sometimes legit and indeed necessary to judge someone's character and competence, such as when one is taking part in our faux democracy's electoral ritual that determine's which bogus wo/man of the people will hold the highest and most powerful political office in the land (or the world).

Well, unfortunately Mrs. Clinton is not actually a socialist; at least she isn't advocating big tax cuts for the rich; her open borders statement has been taken out of context; Mr. Trump's use of the powers of the presidency to express his alpha-male mentality would provoke more terrorism than it would deter; and Mrs. Clinton certainly isn't more dishonest than Mr. Trump, he is after all an utter charlatan.

Btw, one of the beautiful things about Mrs. Clinton's victory is that that caricature of a male chauvinist pig, Mr. Trump, will be receiving the biggest derrière-kicking of his life from a woman (a woman whom he's tried to portray as a physically frail old lady)!

 

Well, FBI Director Comey has admitted that there’s indeed nothing of significance in the new e-mails, and no criminal charges in the offing for Mrs. Clinton, therefore one can safely forget about all of the e-mail rubbish. But what then should one base one's vote on, how should one vote if one isn’t in love with either candidate? Well, it’s actually quite simple, one should vote against cheap smear tactics, against demagoguery, against a further descent into incivility, against a regression into xenophobia, against hate, against the kind of objectifying sexist mentality that views women as mere “pieces of …”, against placing a career capitalist whose interests are not those of the common workingperson in the highest office in the land, and against making this country an international laughingstock by electing a candidate who’s an ugly joke. If there was ever an election in which there’s a candidate who’s the lesser evil, this is it and it’s certainly quite obvious who the lesser, less distasteful evil is. As a Marxist I’m certainly not an advocate of less evilism, as lesser evilism of course works to keep voters casting their ballots for co-opted mainstream candidates who function to uphold the capitalist status quo; however, this is obviously a presidential contest in which the best that one can do as an ordinary voter is to help elect the less repugnant and dangerous individual in the race, i.e. the individual who is not a sexist, a racist, an Islamophobe, a fake populist, and a confirmed capitalist pig. Yes, anyone with the proverbial shred of human decency, an adequately functioning moral compass in his/her noggin knows full well whom s/he should vote for, and it ain’t someone with the absurd grandiosity to be called The Donald.

 

Btw, it's truly quite disconcerting that someone with Mr. Trump's sexist and racist mentality and sociopathic personality got so close to being elected president. It's indeed quite sad and disturbing commentary on the intellectual and psychological state of the union's electorate. Yes, apparently we lack that "educated citizenry" which "is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people."

 

I absolutely love messing with the "only racists vote for Trump" rhetoric. I've yet to see anything racist about him.

- - - Updated - - -

If you would just provide evidence that he's a racist we can progress intelligently in this discussion.

 

Then you suffer from a serious and telling blind spot.

Hmm, so if someone isn't as blunt about expressing his racism as a KKK Grand Wizard then your racism detector doesn't go off. Well, I think that you seriously need to readjust its settings, forthwith.

 

That you play identity politics so transparently is disgusting.

Trump is a terrible candidate. Unfortunately, Clinton is apocalyptic.

 

Those anti-racist voters are going to cause Trump to lose the election.

And Trump's supporters are very racist. Trump himself is pretty good about answering questions in a none racist way, but his supporters are interpreting the message as racist. I have had people tell me that they are voting for him because muslims are going to get into the country.

 

Typical liberal sentiments.
liberals think that they are highly educated and everybody else are nothing but peasants.
who is this? Obama? Lmmfao!

 

Translation, I oppose racism, and this seems to pique certain issues that lurk in your psyche.

To make the obvious observation, you have it backwards.

 

I'm sorry but Donald Trump's ego doesn't mean dick to me.

 

I see, you can't very well argue against being opposed to sexism and racism, so you quite simply relabel anti-sexism and anti-racism "liberalism" and then proceed to express your contempt of its supposed advocates. Well, I'm not at all an advocate of liberalism, I'm actually a Marxist whose positions on certain social issues commonly get labeled "liberal" in our society. And, of course you also try to play the victim of the supposed snobbery of progressive anti-sexists and anti-racists, claiming that they view you with contempt because of your socioeconomic status or low level of education, when in fact they merely disapprove of the sexism and racism that often goes along with being poorly educated and having one's disenfranchisement played upon by racist demagogues like Mr. Trump. At any rate, again, I'll point out that I'm actually a communist not a liberal, and therefore certainly don't harbor contempt for working-class folks, I'm simply not inclined to give them a free pass for certain forms of bigotry that they may fall prey to as a result of their socioeconomic position in our society.

 

But alas ego is all there is to him, he totally lacks substance as a presidential candidate.

 

Going all the way back to the Founding Fathers, our society’s economic elites, surprise surprise, have given us a political system that fundamentally functions to create and protect conditions that are favorable and beneficial for economic elites. And now we have a member of the capitalist ruling class, The Donald, seeking the highest office in the land to benefit himself, and of course to carry on the tradition of presidents protecting and promoting the interests of the rich. Let us hope and pray, for the sake of all workingpeople and everyone living below the poverty line, that he loses.
