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
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
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.

I'm thinking that we don't need to spread his propaganda, so I hope you are being ironic. If not, well...

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"It's not a blunder, except in as much as truth is not wanted in this election cycle. What happened to all the people accusing her of lying? She says something that is purely factual and they give her hell.
Also, no. We do not need dissenting opinions if they parrot Trump support. Some things have no place in civilized debate and we will not pretend that they do.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Trump supporters called me things like kike, faggot and cuck and every derrogatory slur related to Latin Americans. Hillary was very gentle for calling them only deplorable, and mostly for asking if Trump would ever release his Tax Returns or how they think that Trump Will make America great again even though Trump hasn't made a clear economic policy since he began his campaign.
And it isn't secret, Trump's voterbase is the worse the US population has to offer, he knows it and he actively caters them.

Inter arma enim silent legesWhile I'm no fan of trump major literally just posted a trump ad (sidenote: that ad is fucking hilarious.) and has a long posting history in non-trump things. This doesn't feel like the other guy who was obviously just a troll.

Something seems fishy and I P Med my suspicions to Fighter. We might want to pretend he's not here for the moment till they're confirmed or refuted..

@thatguy: It's hilarious but it's undoubtedly going to be an effective ad. Conventional political wisdom is that you never directly attack voters. Ever. Even Trump technically abides by that rule insofar as he never really talks about Clinton's voters specifically.
@Fighteer: Did you seriously just ban someone for supporting Trump, or was there a reason within the sites rules that I didn't pick up on? For God's sake, that's not how you change somebody's mind.

In the interest of civility, I was going to ask the guy why he supported Trump, but he's been Troll Posted so... Nevermind.
Granted, it probably would've ended in trolling or something in any case, but it seemed more Don't Be Dick-ish to at least hear him out, for better or worse.
EDIT: Just saw Elle's post so it's probably better I didn't risk feeding the troll.

It's always amusing seeing old white republican dudes try to tackle race issues. Admitting that maybe, just maybe, black people have a reason to be angry means admitting that racism wasn't solved by MLK and that destroys pretty much the entire republican race mythos.
EDIT: he seemed pretty trolly but in like edgelord 14 year old trolly not disrputive trolly but w/e

Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?I know the guy, he's not a troll, he was dead serious about everything he said.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.Well his name is (probably) a trump reference so PW hack seems unlikely. Of course trump trolls tend to be incredibly obvious in that trump is the only thing they discuss and they're real assholes about it. Plus his original troper page features his steam ID so either the steam ID is fake, he's a super dedicated troll or more likely 14. We were all 14 and on the internet once.
