Why Are US Presidential Elections So Close?
This is what I don&#x27;t like about the current zeitgeist. Things are either black or white. You are either Red or Blue. Conservative or Liberal. Democrat or Republican. Right or Left. There is no room in this political system for a pro-life atheist, or a pro-gun liberal, or an anti-war economic conservative. There&#x27;s no room on the internet for a third party voter, or someone who both believes cops lives matter AND civilian lives matter, or any other middle ground. You&#x27;re either a 4chan user or a Tumbler user, you&#x27;re either a Hillarybot or a Trumpbot.<p>Reasons for this I believe include upvote&#x2F;downvote trains on the internet, clickbait headlines, and networks streamlining content to cater to certain audiences. People who watch Fox news don&#x27;t want to hear about Trump rape allegations, they want to watch news casters talk about Evil Hillary. It&#x27;s the reverse for CNN. Remember in the Bush era how blatantly Fox news was a Republican news-horn, and how the case is the same now for CNN and Clinton?<p>Euck. Can&#x27;t stand it. No room for moderates, your voice won&#x27;t get heard if you aren&#x27;t making <i>someone</i> stamp their feet.<p>Ninjaedit: I mean honestly how is it possible that of the 300 million people spread across one of the largest (geographical) countries in the world and one of the most diverse populations on the world, exactly <i>half</i> want <i>one</i> person to represent them, and exactly <i>half</i> want <i>one other person</i> to represent them. It doesn&#x27;t make sense.
