Last election I knew Trump was going to be an embarrassment and disaster for this country but I just couldn’t bring myself to vote for a woman.
Plus Hillary is well under 6 feet tall. That’s just not presidential material.

America is a republic and not a democracy. And that's a good thing.

Not since senators started being directly elected, we're a representative democracy completely at this point.

Speaking of, direct election of senators was an enormous mistake.

You can blame the new left of the 70s and the moderate right for the rise of coal. We would have had nuclear power spanning across the entire nation, powering 80%+ of the power grid by the 21st century had the 70s not occurred.
First Nixon tightened the regulations and oversight and approval process for nuclear plants. Then Three Mile Island accident happened.
After that, pretty much no nuclear power plants have been approved and the operating costs of existing ones have sky rocketed.

It's remarkable how brainlets have decided our energy policy. Like 70% of Americans are opposed to nuclear power.
Retards. All of them.

I don't think the current approval ratings mean much because nobody is actively campaigning to deregulate nuclear power. Somebody like Trump could easily sell nuclear energy to people just by making it a public issue and getting people to talk about it again. I think it would be a winning move because anti-nuclear side are incredibly irrational and have no real arguments.

Nuclear power is fantastic, until it's not

There are costs and benefits. Everybody always says it's clean and safe until there's an accident and whoops we accidentally gave everybody cancer and contaminated the environment forever

Because when shit go south, it goes reallyyyyyyyy south

Only relevant post ITT coming up...Dos Passos shilled certain Republican candidates who were basically paleo conservative. It's not really fair to describe him as pro-Republican, at least not today's Republicans.

Why would I do that when the Republican party in the US is retarded

Reddit-tier opinion. What do you propose we do with all the radioactive waste? Just keep letting it pile up more and more until disaster strikes?
