What are your views to the upcoming American election?
its very scary'
the media have it pinned down to either potential 'communism' (the whole liberal thing) or a corporatocracy (a corporate player running things for their corporate pals)
as for me though,, things are rarely that elementary and simple
its actually very complex and each side has very real consequences for Americans
we have two candidates who will be absolute firsts
the first woman
or the first with no public service experience
we have two different places in 'media' (and therefore amongst the public)
one that has no history of experience to scrutinize
one that has a long history of experience and therefor a long history of things to potentially scrutinize
I believe the male, because of his obsession with claiming a 'win' at any cost and never accepting responsibility for losses,
will set us back exponentially with allies ,
put us on course for another recession,
and fuel the rhetoric of bigotry amongst different types of americans that will 'normalize' division instead of unity
and quite possibly start us down the past to the final world war
I believe the female, because of the scrutiny that comes with being a first and a female, will have to use a lot of energy answering to the scrutiny and death threats that are sure to come from those who have lost and those who are just hateful in general
eiher way, this presidential term will most likely be one of the most dangerous, either for the candidate or for the people they are supposed to represent
