Trump-Clinton Election Debate

Okay well, let's try an experiment - tell me one thing you find morally or ethically reprehensible, and I'll try to provide you with one devil's advocate reason why the other side might consider it differently. Then we can do it the other way around.The dialogue between the two "opposing sides" has so completely broken down that "othering" is in full effect - there is no concept of what the "other side" wants, just third-party digestion of what som

The stuff she pulled off or wanted to pull off wasn't pretty, but nothing out of the ordinary in US politics. The stuff Trump has pulled off and wants to pull off is of a totally different level. You focus only on the mote in Clinton's eye, while ignoring the beam in Trump's eye.Seriously, how do you, and clearly so many other Americans, manage to have such a limited view of reality? Do you understand how weird it looks to attack and hate someone for doing the exact same things

Well, enough of the people must have chosen Trump because Hillary ain't president.Comments like this never get downvoted on Lib HN, yet are just as offensive to conservative readers as conservative comments are to liberal readers. I'd flag it if I could.

This is fiction, and we should not persist in describing politics in this term, since it doesnt help us see whats going on.It does sound harsh, and it is. We (people on HN), tend to talk about both candidates as if it was some equal comparison.However, this is adamantly not the case. Trump is not like any candidate America has voted for in living memmory. He is SO outside of bounds, that frankly we collectively fail to understand him, and have to substitute some "default republ

Yes, consider the outrage if conservative would fire someone on political viewpoints.All this alleged 'Trump is racist and hates x' is complete BS. If you read the wikileaks emails there is a major media & Clinton collusion going on. That should pause everybody.The way Democrats are running this campaign is really worrying as show in todays leaks 'CLINTON CAMP HIRES AGITATORS TO INSTIGATE VIOLENCE'[0].Edit: I'm being down voted for facts. What have HN become

People need to get over it. Trump's president now. Those who chose clinton picked a racehorse w/ 3 legs. She was never going to win. I didn't vote for her and never would. Everyone in my fb stream of 3k+ Bernie supporters were all warning they would not vote for her, and guess what? -- THEY didn't..GET OVER IT. He's the president. Nothing is going to change that. This CEO's reaction is almost discrimination in that political views are almost akin to religious con

you did not get trump because of putin alone, you got trump because hillary did a poor job. insulting voters that elected and reelected obama as "basket of deplorables" and "nazis" was shit. accepting leacked cnn questions from dona brazil was shit. booting bernie sanders was shit. instead of attacking his policies the democrats just shouted racist, sexist, homophob and xenophobe over and over again.dont get me wrong, i'm against trump. but you have to accept hillary

People are mad at him for supporting Donald Trump.

Sorry but your comment simply indicates the problem.It's quite similar to the post-Brexit discussions, how pro-Bexit people are stupid, etc.We can talk about what a "liar, misogynist, tech illiterate, arrogant and overall a disgusting human being" he is all we want. It would probably be fine, as in it wouldn't really matter, if he was some random radical weirdo with an audience of a dozen equally weird folks. But he's the President-elect.So we can continue with

Bernie was leftist. Clinton, not so much.It's strange, as an outside observe I see hate spewed against giant swaths of the population (the 'establishment', the 'leftists', the muslims, the hispanics, the blacks or whatever) from Trump supporters. But those same people keep complaining about the hate they perceive from the left or whatever.It's bizarre. Are people supposed to embrace the racism, sexism and bigotry?
