RE: Trump Gives in on Afghanistan, Opens The War Up to No End

in #news7 years ago

Well. I'm not an American, but if I had been I probably would have voted for him, because I was afraid Hillary would have started WWIII. After all she kept threatening Russia and said all options are on the table and it was her who was responsible for the destruction of Libya. And after she watched Gaddafi being rape-murdered she laughed and cited Julius Cesar.
So the choice was to either vote for the psychopath who promised war or for the narcissist who promised to stop the wars.
I even think Trump originally meant to have kept his promise until he came under pressure, where he then showed himself as a man without a backbone.

I agree with your first paragraph, I used those arguments aswell when liberals arround me were acting like Trump was the end of the world but Hillary was just fine. However I think that this mentality that you have to chose the lesser of two evils is the root of the problem. I guess it's all a matter of principle vs pragmatism, but in my opinion the reason other parties/candidates can't win is because people think that they don't have a chance and therefor don't vote for them, it's a vicious cycle.
