Distancing myself with humour is the only way to tolerate that verbal sewage right now. I would seriously be at loss for words the extent to which I consider them to be the true scum of the Earth. No person with something resmbling a spine would keep defending Trump at this point.

Frankly I'm amazed and baffled as to how there could still be undecided voters out there. Seriously, what more would you possibly need to know at this point about either candidate? I don't get the uncertainty.

People that are still hesitating should just watch this. It might help make their decision easier:

It's interesting his reason he's undecided.

He works at a coal power plant so selfishly trumps energy policy is better for his job but he doesn't like that trump is a bigot.

I don't know how much I agree with how selfish people are who vote to preserve their livelihood.

We all vote for our best interests.

Not always, but he's being honest about it, I can respect that. But Trump is a garbage fire.

Essentially a guy who's being paid to vote for Trump still doesn't want to vote for him, not good news for Donald!

Except he used his real Reddit username. The same one he used to comment on preggo porn and other embarrassing things.

Also Snoop dogg popped in and invited him to Smoke up

People who are still hesitating see "John Oliver" and ignore it.

This election truly depresses me now. I've started to get a flood of ridiculous pro-Trump / anti-Hillary propaganda on my Facebook feed, because some of my normally really smart and knowledgeable friends have started to like them. (I also have stupid and loonie friends, plus an alcoholic uncle who believes every Russian propaganda piece he runs into. But those people believing in nonsense I'm used to. These are people who by should be fully aware of the amount of disinformation and propaganda on the internet, especially lately since Russia's infowar has been a clear trending topic in Finland.

I need more escapism in my life, I can't effing handle this.

I don't know about that.

I think it is selfish if on balance you believe something will be a net negative for all people combined but a net positive for you.

In my opinion people should vote in what they believe are society's best interests rather than just their own. I appreciate his Candor though.

It's easy to say when you have no skin in the game, are you voting in this election?

Yeah there's a pretty heavy cloud of anxiety and malaise hanging over this election.

Some days, Trump finds himself in a hole and I feel a bit better, but then I go on Facebook and read comment sections full of Trump supporters saying Hitler Did Nothing Wrong because I hate myself apparently.

Ben Carson trying to see if he can drive Trump's numbers with women under 30%. Why did he have to ruin the positive image I had of him from the Wire?

Exclusive footage from Trump Tower of Trump sending out his surrogates for the day.



-----

This year's election sucks so much, even memes have scandals. Ken Bone revealed his real reddit account on his AMA, ppl find his porn comments, review of his vasectomy, and he thought the Trayvon Martin shooting was justified.

http://gizmodo.com/ken-bone-forgot-t...nts-1787780939

And Hannity (self admitted not-journalist) had Clinton's accusers on for a special last night that of course studiously avoid anything about Trump's accusers.
