There are people walking around today who voted Bush twice and regretted it and now voted Trump three times and regretted it.

I wonder what war they'll regret next?

I have regretted everyone that I ever voted for. Every candidate will ultimately be regrettable, because it’s not the candidate that’s bad - it is the system itself that has become irredeemably corrupt.

A friend went to an Obama rally in '08 when he came to town. Later he said, I'm sure I'll regret voting for him, but I'm also pretty sure I'll regret it less than most votes I've taken.

Sadly a lot of vote-conversations have boiled down to:

"Well, I picked the one I hated most and put that at the bottom of the list. Then worked up from there."

The big problem is that if the USA doesn't start wars, other countries are certainly more than willing to start them against us.

Which? Why?

Peddling the same old "might makes right" ideology I see.

We won in 1945.

Wasn't Japan the last country to attack the US, almost 85 years ago? Nobody does it because there is no profit in it.

Do you not remember 9/11?
