Democracy is fucked. Dumb people voting in a popularity contest based on emotion. We need something better.

Me and FullAutoGal have an open chat about this right now on some other video.  Is it better for politicians to vote in themselves or should the public have input?

When Obama did it Facebook simply invited him right into the front door - are we all outraged about Obama's disregard for...what exactly? Not compaigning using social media? Not leveraging the nature of that platform for every possible persuasive advantage? Here's the whiz who got it done for Obama with help from Facebook to tell you all about it:

A Cambridge Analytica executive said the best method was to “send some girls around to the candidate’s house”, adding that Ukrainian girls “are very beautiful, I find that works very well”.

 

Dammit. Those damn Ukrainian girls. Irresistible.

How is this different than when Bill Clinton's campain called and mapped out almost every house phone in the USA to target places he needed to appear and sway. It is a brillant campaign move. Get your name out there as best as possible. Every Politican since the history of time has done a version of this with the technology available. I am with you on this, not news and Jimmy Dore is on point about half of this video. The statement, "intervening with the election" I don't think is it a valid statement. Just giving information about your candidate or slinging hate about the other. That is simply the nature of politics. 

 

Treason is a word that should stop being thrown around. 

 

Now..

Dead people voting

illegals voting

spying on the other campaign using non-moral FISA applications

switching votes cast

not letting you vote

 

^ those are examples of intervening in an election. If any of those happened, consequences need to be given out.

How do you figure any of the actual scandal hurts Trump? Wait I don't watch MSM horsecrap anymore - are they trying to say Trump's team did something wrong by acquiring this data through Cambridge Analytica? I thought the scandal was that a foreign company, namely Cambridge Analytica, interfered in a US election - indictments are imminent I presume?

Ease up skippy. It's a joke. You know, like Hannity being considered for Secretary of State or some other Fox/Trump "News" dumbfuck........or Trump firing his attorneys when he doesn't listen them anyway. You mean to say you haven't  noticed that every single piece of Trump news is followed by Hannity and Fox/Trump "News" screaming "THAT'S IT! TRUMP IS VINDICATED"?

 

Trump is completely innocent of all the things being said about him, always tells the truth, especially in his eloquent and informative Twitter posts, and is the greatest president in U.S. history. Better?

 

Cue Jimmy Dore

I don't watch Hannity - do you watch Hannity? That's right Dore thinks Trump a fucking moron - he's just honest about what's ACTUALLY going on because he doesn't want to see the Dems beaten again by a populist set against well-established corporate and MIC sellout neolibs. It's fucking weird to see a nighclub comedian do a better job of informing on what really matters than both CNN and FOX. 

 

LOL Five super friends apparently can't distinguish between Jimmy Dore and this idiot who is on the far opposite end of the political spectrum to Dore:
