163. If I were a US citizen, I'd vote for Hillary without hesitation

Tue Nov 8, 2016, 04:59 AM

Nov 2016

I'm not alone where I am, either. I saw a poll of different countries and around 89% of us in Australia think trump is a complete moron unsuitable for the job. I can't remember the percentage who think Hillary would do a good job, but it was pretty high; far higher than any poll in the US.

One of my friends has family who moved to the US a few years back. They're in North Carolina and he told me all 4 of them have voted for Hillary already. I've heard a lot about demographics this election so it's a shame there's not millions of expat Aussies there (wait, that's mean no-one would be left here) as trump would be buried in a landslide of votes from a people who see trump as the ultimate Ugly American.

I'm hopefully optimistic that common sense will prevail in the US today and that you guys are celebrating Hillary winning when I pop in tomorrow night
