US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

[ExGingi]

Looks like lots of vote "wasting" among my friends,

Talk about voting for an incompetent lunatic
#What'sAllepo

[ExGingi]

You voted for a lunatic. Don't blame me for not being willing to roll the dice on a lunatic despite despising his opponent's policies.
And BH that Obama has been gridlocked since 2010. But had Rubio been up there now the Rs would easily sweep the house, senate, and presidency and be able to make some real changes.

If Rubio and Cruz would have consolidated early on, one of them would have received the nomination. Instead, they broke up the MAJORITY vote, causing Trump to win by default.

How fast we forget...

Not sure if this is a repost, but this is a poignant clip from the Rebbe about the choice to make in an election:

Voting Gary Johnson is pretty pathetic also

America is in labour now
In 24 hours we shall know if it's a boy or girl

Then we'll all have post-partum depression!

The ultrasound showed a girl
once in a million it could make a mistake though

I'm not sure what these comments point out or achieve. Yes, G-D runs the world. Yes, G-D gives people choices. Yes, people make the WRONG choices. Yes, entire nations have been destroyed due to these wrong choices.

So again, what is your point? Are you trying to comfort those who feel hopeless? Those who are afraid that Trump/Hillary might destroy the country?

Quick summary?

[Yehuda57]

Quick summary?

It's less than 2 minutes!

[JoeyShmoe]

Quick summary?

It's a soundcloud of 1 minute and 46 seconds, basically The Rebbe says that at first you have to vote for Hashem, and then vote for the candidate that is best for the Shulchan Aruch, Yiddishkeit and Torah Umitzvos and the rest is unimportant

P.S. I didn't hear/understand everything so my interpretation might be off

[zale]

Quick summary?

The way I understood it, the Rebbe quoted the possuk ויהיו נא אמרינו לרצון לפני אדון כל, which we say during Atoh Horeisa on Simchas Torah, and said that no matter what, the main quality an individual running for office should have is that no matter what he preaches, whether to Jews or to Gentiles, it should be לרצון לפני אדון כל. (i.e. that it should be guided by G-D's will and align with the Shulchan Aruch etc.).

That's nobody in this election

I am still undecided, but will vote DJT upon the recommendation of Rav Kamenetsky, as seen on Matzav, but I confirmed that this is his position  as well.

ועשית ככל אשר יורוך - That is the correct attitude of a Yid!

[ExGingi]

Quick summary?

A yid should choose one thing - אנא נסיב מלכא!

In this spirit I would like to propose that we start a shiur in the Rebbe's ma'amar ביום עשתי עשר יום which discusses the topic of אנא נסיב מלכא.
