Hey you. I know it can be a sensitive subject but I wanna know your political views if you have any. I will not discuss it with you if we do not agree - I'm just curious to see how you see the world  . I'll start: I'm a scandinavian and many of us love the welfare system - so do I.  In Europe, I'm a green democratic socialist. It dosn't mean I want the state to controle me. I just want free education, free healthcare and economic security when out of work - for everybody. Luckily, that's the case in Denmark - at least for now. Even though I'm from the upper middelclass, I don't mind paying taxes for the people who are not that priviledged. I'm a feminist and EU-supporter, even though I want it to be different from the way it is now. In USA, I think I would be a liberalist on the very left wing - at least that's what my former American english teacher once told me. I like Barack Obama but I would love Bernie Sanders for president. Bonus-info for the Americans: In Denmark, I have actually never heard anybody supporting Trump. I guess he is kind of a joke in Denmark - even the politicans on the very right wing think he is an idiot. I'm sorry if you are a supporter. I just think it's funny, that he can be so popular in one country and so not in another. |

Many young voters would have actually voted if he were on the ticket... (sigh). It was a total joke how Clinton was nominated, being that Sanders won most polls over Trump... well more so than Clinton.. (and isn't that the point of picking a political party nominee, to beat the other party?) (( Clinton just has too many fingers in her pocket)) TRUMP IS A JOKE, like for reals! I'm very liberal... ugh... if Trump wins elections I might just move to Denmark!! |

But I think it's great for Americans that you now have at least one presidential candidate that are not afraid of the word 'socialism'. He will not win this time. But he has done so much already - he has berned peoples hearts in a good way! He or somebody with the similar attitude will do some day! |

I really hope so... idk why people here are afraid of 'socialism'...
I just have such a sick pit in ma stomach about the upcoming elections... aghh.. like incredibly frustrated I suppose. It appears that either candidate running won't do much good for the US, but it might be WWIII if Trump wins. (Ima already stocking up canned goods and bottled water incase of a Trump victory!) Lol. Naw I kid, but maybe it's something I should look into... hmmmmm
Trump's views sound to me like he wants to divide us even more and shut off the ability for people to come over and find a happy freedom which was promised in our Constitution... I've shut myself off from facebook, because I'm situated in Southern US, which is highly Republican rednecks scream about things that don't matter like the ability to keep their firearms (why must you have guns silly humans), not letting actual humans in love make the pact to be with each other and reap benefits of matrimony... I heard rumor that Sanders might run on the Green Party ticket, but independents running in our elections tend to split the liberal vote and a Republican ends up winning offices...and make it stop... getting harder to concentrate... Apocalypse Now happening in ma head...
I'll try to pick this topic back up later, as it appears that I've gone through a major malfunction! Ha

What people may not realize is, that the American election will have major impact on the rest of the world. Denmark and other european countries have been allies of the USA for many years now, but that will probably change, if Trump wins. Then Denmark and maybe the rest of the EU will look for other allies. The USA will stand for them selves. But what do I know. If it comes to that, your parlament will probably not allow Trump to let any thing bad happen. Some 'experts' in Denmark says, that in worst case scenario, the next four years will be a very still period. I have heard something scary though. Som 'experts' speculate that the Trump-thing can be a set up made by the people behind Clinton. I don't know if that's the case, but I think that would be even worse! |

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I always feel as if we are all left in the dark about most things, how things are ACTUALLY run in this world.. gives me the shivers!! But you're right on a stand still (fingers crossed) if If (oh, god... please not IF! HA) Trump takes a seat on the throne. Our system here does have its checks and balances... sooo it's really all about timing.. He would have the most power during his first years of office.. so he could really "screw the pooch" if given the chance.
