Trump? A subconscious voting wave towards * lives matter!? (Just saw Barber Shop erev1... )
Be a sheep. I've never voted for a person and only would if it's mandatory for all "Americans" or .www Then we could see if logic plays any part or fail it?
United we could hold up the stupid, like Trump as a mop sales man? F choice everywhere's right and wrong not.edu

America is a ticking time bomb. All that remains to be seen is who—or what—will set fire to the fuse. We are poised at what seems to be the pinnacle of a manufactured breakdown, with police shooting unarmed citizens, snipers shooting police, global and domestic violence rising, and a political showdown between two presidential candidates equally matched in unpopularity.-John W. Whitehead

America has always been "a ticking time-bomb."
But you're entirely correct to use the word, "manufactured."
One key to maintaining political control of a populace is to see to it that they always feel frightened. Uncomfortable. Off-base. That way, it never occurs to them to start effecting change, within(!) the political system that they have.
. . . because you know that, if-and-when they actually realize that they can do such a thing, your grip on power is over.
If one tenth of one percent of the ordinary people within a country calmly decide that "this, whatever-it-is, is no longer acceptable for our country," that number of people can effect changes that will become permanent. And many others, quite sensibly, will wonder why the hell it took so long.
"Rebellion" doesn't do anything but send people to the graveyard. But, "determined negotiation, backed by patient stubbornness," does.
"How bad do you want it?" If enough of you want it bad enough, nothing can stop you all from getting it. (But: "be careful what you wish for ...")

The entire history of mankind is filled with mass killings and genocide; it is part of our " nature "!! It has not gone away with Iphones and technology!! Next to the distribution of illegal narcotics the most profitable business is arms; killing people can make you very rich!!
Plop, plop in the disgusting water: voting for people is moronic!
If you have; should be ashamed of what you've perpetuated and not do it again, blindly or otherwise! VOTE ON POLICIES NOT POPULARITY!!!
I'm wondering just how many Bernie Sanders supporters are going to vote for Donald Trump just to get back at the underhanded way that Hillary Clinton was " handed " the democratic nomination??

That's quite possible. One of the odd things about this election is that Sanders is the most left-wing candidate ever to come near winning a major party nomination in America and Trump is the most right-wing, but they both appeal to the same all-pervading anger in the electorate. Everyone is fed up to the back teeth with machine politicians, and you can't get more mechanical than Hillary Clinton.
