Agree with Mojo the US media is pretty much unwatchable if you're trying to get a clear picture of things. I can only watch it for entertainment and even then the bias makes me cringe at times.

I think people vote for lots of reasons, many of which are just weird. An example of a weird reason is just how entertaining the candidate is. Even if you're only laughing at him, Trump is by far the most fun politician to watch on TV. Hillary made me want to gouge my eyes and ears out when she spoke.

There also seems to be a strong distrust of the corrupt establishment motivating many people. Trump ran against the establishment, but since he's been pres, has been ironically the most corrupt and self-serving pres ever. Doesn't mean his supporters see that, though, b/c they're watching Fox which does nothing but suck Trump's dick. Imagine having that soundtrack in your head every day for four years and how completely brainwashed you'd be by then. That's about 1/3 of Americans right there. Another 1/3 is watching the other side and being brainwashed in the other direction (though to be fair, the other side has an easier job because the facts seem to be much closer to matching their worldview that Trump is an awful pres).

While Bernie would be a good candidate imo for reaching out to anti-establ. voters, his downfall is he's going to continue to get called a communist and in the US you'd be better off being a baby raper than a commie in terms of electability.

Not sure Biden will beat Trump but do think he has the best chance. He might be establishment, but if even 10% of the nihilism of Trump's presidency sinks in with people, they'll see that the establishment might suck, but it's still better than the Orange Republic.
