People are SO STUPID it's doing my head in. They STILL to this say buy into partisan politics, how thick are we?

I'm pretty disappointed with myself too but unfortunately, not enough people are awake enough to not vote for the red or the blue so I'm sucked in. I'm not proud of myself for it but wtf can we do?

There are several members who feel the way you do. Would it not be possible to round them all up and promote or support one of the lesser known candidates?
Use those ATS investigative skills to find the best person for the job and put forward the benefits of electing someone other than Trump or Hillary.
That would be the true ATS way, it seems to me.

mea culpa - i am pretty dissapointed with myself too - my chief "sport " this election season has been to insult the idiocy of all wingnuts without any partisan bias or favour
i have done nothing to attempt to be part of the solution - but TBH - as i have said in other osts - i truelly have no dog in this fight - its upto the american people to choose thier idiot - then i shall have to deal with that descision once policy changes occur

I'm completely appalled at how many ATSers or 'truth-seekers' are invested in a candidate this election.

In summary, wow, just wow. Even us here at ATS, who are supposed to have somewhat of a grasp on reality, are so lost. It's disheartening. I'm not sure what it would take to wake you guys up, or if it's even possible; we seem to be more complacent and ignorant than ever before.

Yet another ATS member preaching from on high to the ATS masses about how enlightened he is compared to the unenlightened masses. Yet another "Wake up, people!" post from someone who has not really inspired us with any particularly insightful comments or information. The real question here is why does anyone think they have superior powers of observation and understanding compared to everyone else? What about these people makes them feel superior, and further, what makes them obsessed with opining on how everyone else is ignorant? Do these people have a superior education to everyone else? Is their IQ astronomically higher? Have they been placed in some sort of position where they have information the rest of us don't? Unlikely, don't you think? I see no evidence.
What is more likely is that no one here will change their position based on what someone else has said here. The Trump supporters will continue to support Trump. The Hillary supporters will continue to support Hlllary. Further, nothing anyone has said here in the past year will have any effect on the outcome at all. Zero. Nada. We're pissing into the wind. ATS is otherwise known as a 'crank conspiracy site' populated largely by people who have no particular influence on the world at large. Nor are we smarter. Nor are we more insightful. Nor do we have a superior grasp of reality.
We do, however, have a fair number of people who THINK they are. And in any case, it's a good place to blow off some steam and be entertained. That's all ATS is. It's not worth blowing a gasket over.
