If you have money, and/or skills, and are not a minority, you're just going to have to get past our woefully slow immigrations people.

 

If you fail to meet those things, get ready for a gulag.

I'm told that nurses are in demand. I once looked into emigration to New Zealand, where they are actively recruiting overseas nurses.

NZ != Australia.

 

NZ is a fair place to go move to.

I have reached the conclusion that there is not a single candidate I like this election.

I prefer Sanders over Hilary, but I disagree with some of his policies and I honestly think that most of his ideas are going to be nigh-impossible to implement.

On the republican side I prefer John Kasich (Ohio Governor) the most but even he has said some stuff lately that makes me go...eh.

All that being said, I think that the relevancy of Trump/Sanders in their respective political spectrums is going to bring exciting change to the political environment in America. Bernie is inspiring a whole lot of up and coming voters to actually change this crappy setup we currently have going on at Washington. Trump is proving that traditional campaigns are starting to fall flat (that being said: obligatory F*CK TRUMP)

Just my 2 cents. I don't follow politics nearly as much as I used to. I find myself disillusioned of the whole process.

I wish that I could say that Trump is purely fueled by discontent, but if he was, Sanders would be doing a loooot better.

 

Trump is fuelled by anger mixed with ignorance. Ignorance generated by a generation of bad social management, mind you, so the US govt only has itself to blame.

Discontent is a huge part of it. The difference is that liberals overthink things, and don't quite dare to make the leap of faith it requires to fully embrace Bernie Sanders. Terms like "electability" haunt them. Conservative voters, on the other hand, are much more comfortable with displays of raw emotion and shoot-from-the-hip politics. But Sanders and Trump represent two sides of the same coin. Sanders is the candidate for smart people who are unhappy with the way things are, and Trump is for stupid people who are unhappy with the way things are. Unfortunately there are a lot more stupid people.
