 [01:25]  Dead convo [01:25]  Bye then [01:26]  Hello [02:14]  I need to talk to Hype [03:13]  the US election nonsense might finally be drawing to a close [03:13]  Unless it's a tie [03:13]  Tomorrow's election day [03:13]  Is it? [03:13]  yup [03:13]  or it wins [03:14]  Wow time flies by fast [03:14]  if it wins then i will be looking to the currency exchange and laughing [03:14]  I'll go buy popcorn later [03:14]  So I can watch the show unfold tomorrow [03:14]  It will be like Brexit all over again [03:14] <Person of Info> Yeah, seems quite likely [03:15] <Roddy15> People in America who went on about Brexit being great "oh you got your freedom back"....yeah that's just ignorant :P [03:15] <Person of Info> Yeah, it sure is (derp) [03:15] <Person of Info> But then again it /is/ America so [03:16] <Person of Info> it might've been naive to expect much [03:16] <Roddy15> and now the courts ruled that Article 50 has to be triggered by parliamentary vote, Brexit is the example of how mucked up things can get [03:16] <Person of Info> Indeed (derp) [03:16] <Roddy15> i was reading a thing on the post-truth era that we seem to be in [03:17] <Person of Info> Oh? WHat does it say? [03:17] <Roddy15> it was mainly about how Obama was defending a protestor at a rally and Trump claimed he was "screaming at him" and his supporters took Trump's version as fact [03:17] <Legoanimals750> Facts? No one cares about facts. It's all about feeling nowadays [03:17] <Roddy15> both the extreme Clinton and Trump supporters disregard the facts about both candidate's positions [03:18] <Person of Info> Ah [03:18] <Person of Info> Yeah, quite true [03:18] <Roddy15> the same thing happened with Brexit [03:18] <Roddy15> you had economic experts saying it would be the wrong choice to leave [03:18] <Roddy15> and the leave campaign started this campaign to smear expert opinion [03:18] <Person of Info> Lovely [03:19] <Legoanimals750> "#voteIRL" :P [03:19] <Roddy15> the remain campaign were equally guility though with this scaremongering they engaged in without just simply laying out the facts [03:19] <Person of Info> Ah, really? [03:19] <Person of Info> Well I did see some of that [03:19] <Person of Info> now that I remember [03:19] <Roddy15> Cameron wouldn't answer questions directly [03:19] <Roddy15> would just skip to fears about single market [03:20] <Roddy15> question on borders, cameron answer "Oh well I see your point. But my fear is if we leave the single market...." didn't answer it at all [03:20] <Person of Info> Yeah [03:21] <Roddy15> but anyway win or lose I can't wait to see the hopeful destruction of the Republican party [03:21] <Roddy15> i'd really want to see them break down and a sensible right wing party rise from it's ashes [03:22] <Person of Info> Oh yeess [03:22] <Person of Info> That's what I'm looking forward to as well [03:22] <Roddy15> though given the support for trump it would more than likely be a futher right wing party [03:22] <Person of Info> But yeah that's also just as likely [03:22] <Person of Info> Whether or not Trump loses, some of the damage has arguably already been done [03:22] <Legoanimals750> Yeah, that's very likely Rod. [03:23] <Person of Info> The alt right holds more influence than it did before [03:23] <Roddy15> i mean the whole thing with the FBI, "corrupt election" etc. is just really bad rhetoric [03:23] <Roddy15> one minute the FBI are heroes, saving America from Hillary [03:23] <Legoanimals750> "It's rigged" [03:23] <Roddy15> next minute they are corrupt [03:24] <Person of Info> That's rather common with politicians [03:24] <Person of Info> I see that all the time where I live [03:24] <Person of Info> and in other places as well [03:24] <Roddy15> Snowden thankfully pointed out how silly the conspiracy theories [03:24] <Legoanimals750> *They are losing* "The polls are rigged" [03:24] <Legoanimals750> *They are up by one point "I love the ABC polls!" [03:24] <Roddy15> The idea though that you would not accept an election result is just mad [03:25] <Person of Info> Yeah [03:25] <Person of Info> It's ridiculous what this has devolved into [03:25] <Roddy15> Without any evidence yet of rigging [03:25] <Roddy15> With the Dem primaries it was at least obvious the DNC were up to no good [03:25] <GuacamoleCCXR> ayy [03:25] <Person of Info> Oh? The DNC? [03:26] <Roddy15> I don't get why the DNC are allowed to so obviously favour a candidate over another [03:26] <Person of Info> Oh the Democratic National Council, right? [03:27] <Roddy15> Even if you pull the "Oh but they are private organistation, freedom of speech! MURICA" it still is crazy [03:27] <Person of Info> Yeah that's peculiar [03:27] <Roddy15> Party leader elections happen here with no rigging, no favourites, it's a straight out fight [03:27] <Legoanimals750> Bernie would of been such a better choice imo. [03:28] <GuacamoleCCXR> when there's only two parties it makes very little sense to consider party business to be non-governmental [03:28] <Roddy15> What's even worse is despite this people still aren't making sure at least one 3rd party gets over 5% [03:28] <Roddy15> I would have thought more people this time round would have woken up to the fact that a two party system is a disaster [03:30] <Legoanimals750> There was a chance for McMullin to win Utah [03:30] <Person of Info> Americans aren't a very bright bunch overall, I'd argue
