There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations

before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Well, I'm worried that you guys will get us all killed if Trump gets into office, and the stuff leaking to rig the convention in favor of Trump is starting to make me lose some of my sanity. Not to mention the extremist White American patriotism and xenophobia makes you guys look really, really bad to the rest of the planet.

They don't want to set the world on fire. They just want to start... a flame in your heart.
Stupid patriotism and xenophobia is hardly endemic to the US, though.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."bigotry has created one job, that of Donald Trump's running mate". Okay that was pretty good.
Oh and yeah Bat that's bad, very bad.

“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranDemocrats aren't in disarray
. Nice to see at least one article that isn't giving into the BS.
Oh god this DNC ad, it's a comedy skit where they highlight how all the Trump brand stuff isn't made in the USA and how Trump's talk of bringing jobs back is bullshit considering he's been outsourcing all his own shit.
“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranAbout the offering positions to big donors: The Republicans can't really use that as an attack avenue. They obviously do that. Trump was clearly offering the Vice Presidency and cabinet positions to get people to side with him. Offering someone the position of Ambassador to Botswana doesn't really compare.

Is it too late to throw both nominees in jail and restart the whole process?
Yes? Well damn.
Yes, I know Clinton herself may not be responsible for this directly. But this whole campaign is a bad joke.
Oissu!
