I’m not American but I would think Obama has wrecked it for a Democrat victory anyway hasn’t he?

You would think so, but the Republicans are exceptionally capable of screwing up things up.

Plus demographics are starting to tip, Republicans are old and dying. While 50 years of liberal schools and welfare ensure plenty of people come back to the Democrats looking for handouts.

Americans are very, VERY stupid, and don’t learn their lesson. And since the majority of the American electorate doesn’t pay taxes, it’s not like they have to suffer the consequences of their idiocy at the polls. At least for now…

It’s not looking good for the younger generation.  Most people in my age range (20’s) are right now rooting for Clinton or Sanders.  They still want their “free” stuff, and want even MORE “free” stuff (which is why many are starting to lean towards Bernie Sanders).  It won’t be long before the United States is literally, by definition, a socialist state.  We’re already pretty close to it as is.

I realize that it was the 70’s and that they were more easily fooled but don’t you think that it would increase possibility that her client was actually innocent?  Instead it ‘destroyed [her] faith’ in lie detectors forever.

Currently polygraphs are in excess of 97% accurate and they are still not allowed in court when records indicate that ‘victims of rape’ frequently lie.

So, statistically, there is a greater chance for an accuser to be lying than the accused has of fooling a polygraph.

The problem with the states is it works on a first past the post electoral system. It’s rigged. The president is never voted in by a majority but a small slice, while the majority of voters didn’t want him. We have the same problem in Canada. Add to that jerry rigging and we have almost no say.

Most of the democratic world has already done away with FPTP in favor of systems like proportional voting or transferable votes. I believe Canada and the states haven’t changed on this because the corporations who currently influence who will be in government would lose control so they won’t give it up without a serious fight and north americans are too busy enjoying a cushy guilded cage to fight them. My point is in this system the president never represents the wants of the people.

Incase anyone doesn’t know the issus with FPTP here’s a video highlighting them.
