wcw43921 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 It is my understanding that some Scots are flying Mexican flags to annoy him. That's a start. You could always offer him Euros as a donation to his campaign, seeing as you won't be needing them anymore. Or maybe a couple of farthings. You still use those coins, right? Anyway, every little bit helps. You could also play bagpipes wherever he goes to drown him out. I saw a Facebook video where someone did that to some white supremacist jerk. Or you could point at him when he's looking at you, pretend to whisper something into a friend's ear, then giggle at him. That always drives people nuts. Hope that helps.

Old Man Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Trump is in Scotland at the moment. Can we on this side of the Atlantic do anything for Americans while he is here ? Keep him.

CaptnStrawberry Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Is there no chance of Clinton-Sanders? What stage is the actual nomination process at? I remember Bernie saying he'd support Hillary's candidacy if she won the Dem nomination: has he conceded? Sanders hasn't formally conceded; of course Clinton won't formally be the nominee until the July convention when the delegates vote. Bernie just released an op-ed: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/06/23/bernie-sanders-heres-what-we-want/#comments It basically reiterates all his campaign's main priorities, and that he expects most/all of these to be present in the party platform. Some folks are accusing him of being a sore loser; I think it shows a lot of integrity to continue the fight, and not immediately bargain away his grassroots support in some bid to increase his personal cachet of political power.

Pattern Ghost Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yeah, I think he's just trying to influence the party platform at this point. Maybe it'll do some good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iuz the Evil Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I agree. Ultimately his supporters will likely vote for Hillary, but if they feel they're holding their nose to do so it will suppress voter turnout. People invested in his positions will be more active supporters if they see them carried forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaplayboy Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 If she picks Elizabeth Warren as her VP, I would be baffled and confounded by a reluctance that persisted beyond that event. It would be clear with that pick that she was nodding towards the progressives and turning her back on Wall Street and towards real reform. I expect some of Sanders' policy ideas will make it into the party platform, and that there will be some changes to the primary process. Debbie Wasserman Schulz has already been reduced to a figurehead role and will be gone after the election. That said, some of what Sanders wants will NOT make it into the platform.

Pattern Ghost Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Not that I'd vote for Trump, but I'd sure feel better about voting for Hillary if she goes with Warren as VP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 "Tramps Against Trump" will send you a picture of a naked person if you vote for someone who isn't Trump. (not just naked ladies either) (that link is PG13) I kind of thought it was illegal to give stuff to people for voting a particular way. But then, they just have you send a picture of yourself at the booth. So a person could vote Trump and still get the Pr0n, I think. I didn't read the previous pages, so sorry if it is a repeat, but in related news, 1,500 women volunteered to protest the Republican convention naked.

Starlord Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 It may violate the rules of the thread but I have to ask. Trump is in Scotland at the moment. Can we on this side of the Atlantic do anything for Americans while he is here ? Looks like he did something to himself. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/746272130992644096 Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back - Donald J. Trump Ummm, no. They voted unanimously to remain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Two days until the Australian Federal Election. It's been the longest campaign in our history - two months. Apparently, the Senate voting paper in my state is longer than the width of the polling booths. You can't actually open it all the way up when you are voting. It's probably the same in other states. (We use stubby pencil voting, not computers.) Unfortunately, there will be a by-election in my State parliamentary seat in two weeks time, since the former member is running for the Federal parliament. He had to resign to do that. It's causing a bit of confusion, since there are signs up for both elections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
