That's kind of where I was at as well. I don't understand why the democratic party constantly have to bash the other party, even though we talk about not bashing other parties. They also talk about the fact that Trump is spouting out fear, but the democratic party talks about taking down our enemies at all costs. I don't see the difference.

Democratic party only has left/liberal leaning rhetoric. They're pretty moderate world wide. Some in Europe would argue they're more right wing even.

But I guess that's the cost of being the leading military world power.

Well Trump is a complete moron so I do see a difference, but the religion 'n bombs stuff doesn't sit well with me.

It's all theatrics. The sole purpose it to get a huge bump in the polls and hopefully sway some of the fence sitters. It's like a Spielberg movie. You know you're watching eye/ear candy, but if done right it gets to your gut regardless.

Well yeah, that's obvious in terms of Trump. I mostly meant that the fear mongering happens on both sides, even though the democratic party like to say that they're all about peace and justice. I watched the DNC for a few nights, but last nights speeches put a bad taste in my mouth.

If they were trying to sway the fence sitters, they went about it the wrong way. I have a pretty bad overall opinion on Hillary, and her speech last night just made me less likely to want to vote for her.

Chula Vista

You're an outlier Ki. I've been all over the web this morning and the reviews of last night are outstanding.

But please, remain an outlier. It's part of your overall charm and one of the biggest reasons we love ya man!

I don't mean to be. I honestly would have considered Hillary if it hadn't been for how the whole ordeal was portrayed last night. However, if reviews are saying it's good, then by all means, it must've been good.

Xurtio

Yeah its not like Clinton has favoritism with media outlets or anything and it's not like Chula would be drawn towards left leaning sources. So it probably was objectively and independently true.

There is something to be said about the media not being honest about politics, but that's been a thing for multiple terms of presidency. People are just latching onto that more now, because there is strong hatred towards the candidates on both sides, so they'll do anything to bring the other one down. However, the case that we have to choose between the lesser of two evils is definitely valid, and a pretty ****ty way to treat the election process this year.

Janszoon

Yeah, I understand. What I'm saying is that it has the unintended consequence of turning off people like me.
