One of the difficulties I face when judging US politics is that the commentary I receive has a certain imbalance, as a lot comes from certain friends who are expat Americans living in the UK. Domestic politics always looks a bit different from 7000km away. For some reason this group is disproportionately vocal in their criticism of the US. Listening to them you would form the impression that their homeland is a dangerously intolerant gun-filled cesspit, ruled by incompetent and corrupt

Quick thoughts. I don't know how any brony can support Trump. And I know some do, because I've encountered at least one on here.

Trump isn't honest. His truth meter shows him to be one of the worst liars in American politics. Not just politics, but legally as well: when confronted in court during a case against him, he stated that he's worth several times what he actually is just because he feels he's worth that much.

“But the thing that got me through that moment, and any other time that I’ve felt stuck, is to remind myself that it’s about the work. Because if you’re worrying about yourself—if you’re thinking: ‘Am I succeeding? Am I in the right position? Am I being appreciated?’ – then you’re going to end up feeling frustrated and stuck. But if you can keep it about the work, you’ll always have a path. There’s always something to be done.” — President Barack Obama

I don't know really know how to start this, other than if you're a big fan of obscure foreign elections, then this is something you might wanna read to the end. I'll be adding a bit of pictures and videos, and also some Wikipedia links if you wanna get a better situational idea of the stuff that had happened over here.

I, Bendy wish you to keep safe. Be on guard on this on the 3/11/20 due to the US election. I'm not telling you who to vote for (or even to vote) I'm just asking you to be extra cautious. Since you're kind of living in a major historical event at this time I think.

Think about big thick ponies to help you through it. Be prepared for anything.

It's obvious that the main things anybody talks online these days it the upcoming 2016 elections where a new president will be decided. Thus, I decided to get it over with and finish my curiosity by asking who of my readers and viewers are wanting in the White House.

That being said, a few rules:

This is a link to an article that explains how and why Trump rose to power.

What's more, it explains the motivations behind the people who voted for him; also, it came out on October 12, so, you know, prescient.

I dunno if you want to understand the half of the country that elected a rapist to the highest office in the land, but I found it enlightening :-( :-(

Donald Trump is the new president of the united states of 'Merica. I was surprised the overgrown Oompa Lompa won the US election. Come 2017 and Donald Trump is the leader of the land of the once free. Donald Trump is an overgrown Oompa Lompa.

DEATH TO THE WORLD, IT'S RAINING NUKES.

And it likely will if Trump does anything stupid, which he likely will.

Despite the nation feeling divided at this crucial time. Perhaps this will clear some minds in a way that I couldn't properly say as an outsider.

Stay hopeful, America

It's European Parliament election time. Today in the UK, on Sunday for most other countries. Europeans: please get out and vote for nice candidates and parties that support international friendship.

Who do you support? This isn't an official poll, nor am I going to discuss my position. I'm just curious what other people think.

Democratic Party
Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders

Republican Party
Donald Trump

Libertarian Party
Gary Johnson

Green Party
Jill Stein

If there's enough demand, I'll give my position.

So, as some of you may have seen, I uploaded a new story today!

The title is Opinions, which was in no way inspired by today’s general elections. (We all know it was.)

Honestly, I woke up today, thought to myself I bet no one’s done this, and started writing it. I wanted to get it out before polls closed, and I managed! (At the cost of a slice of my story, but still.)

Hey guys, I just wanna talk to you for a minute.

Now I am a week late into this, but this is something I want to discuss with you guys. The election was not too long ago. Many people are happy with the results, many people are displeased. To be honest, I disliked both candidates equally.

But I did my duty and I voted. That's all I can do. If you voted, you have done your part.

The nation's response has been mixed. People are pleased with the outcome, others are not that pleased.

You know, I had a feeling I was going to be falling sick. Saturday told me, "I think I'm getting something. Gotta finish this all 100% before it takes me out"

Instead, I ended up playing Smash with Calico and getting my ass kicked. And then I got sick.

It's nothing too serious, but then again I'm not pushing myself.
I should be fine in a few days (at least, I really hope so)
