For all the posters here that seem so very put out by simple words, the stuff that's posted here (by me) does not necessarily mean I agree with it all.
I am simply posting what is out there.
You draw your own conclusions.
That's the way it is supposed to work. Not the couch locked spooned pablum opinions of ABC, CBS, CBC, CTV, NBC, CNN, FOX.
You get the information and YOU figure it out.
This thread has been carrying on, copacetically, for awhile. For those of you who just joined it, relax.

It's just that I'm finding too much intolerance that borders on paranoia. Since taking a job here and marrying a Canadian years ago, I've worked with quite a few federal, provincial and municipal politicians , both Conservative (Progressive Conservative actually) and Liberal. Despite differences of opinion they had with one another, they still showed respect for their opponents and for the political process itself.
I just don't want to see the U.S. descend into a madness that could turn into a civil war. I also remember how my father was forced to leave his univerity position in the early years of the Joseph McCarthy witchhunt era, in which some saw communists hiding behind every tree and under every rock. And my dad was far from being a communist.
Whether Clinton loses or Trump loses, in another four years, an election will give the unhappy electorate the chance to get the candidate of their choice. That's the way it's been for over 200 years.

Why doesn't everyone just trust the collective US voting public to do the right thing?

Whether I personally like the outcome is immaterial. A plurality of my fellow voters did. That is how these things work.

I asked that question because you suggest whoever wins wins and there will just be another election in 4 years. Kind of no big deal.
How I see it, the US armed forces have a pretty big stake on who wins and where they're going to get deployed stemming from that decision. For a lot of service members, depending on who wins the election, they may not get another chance to vote in four years.
Considering Canada followed the US to Afghanistan for 10 years I would say we have a pretty big stake in who wins and where they want to go too.
