It just appears silly to show particular preference towards a candidate when you aren't American, and thus have imperfect knowledge about the country and its interests.

Not really silly. America is the most important country in the world, when the next president of a country might be the one responsible to choose if the world goes to a world war or not, it becomes a thing important to me.

Legalizing drugs won't solve entirely the drug problem, of course. A lot of things must be done in this aspect, but legalizing will end the war on drugs, which is the worst consequence of the actual drug problem.

But does that mean its pointless trying to fight drug production simply because there will other forms will appear in the market? Whats the point of putting criminals in jail when there will always be people violating the law everyday?

I don't think it's fair to do this comparison on this case. Fighting drug production is pointless because there will always be demand for drugs. There's no demand for criminality...

No. There was a rally designed only for Donald Trump supporters. Many Donald Trump supporters turned up, many Bernie Sanders supporters showed up. You can say the Bernie Sander's supporters were there to merely protest (which I have already disagreed with), but their unwanted presence at the very least instigated the disagreement and violence. They were within their right to protest, yes, but the protest alone started the trouble.

I disagree with the idea that it was planned to enter in fight with trump supporters. I merely believe that it got out of hand... The worst consequence of it, is that this becomes to be the norm to trump rallys, or even Sanders/Clinton's from now on. Because the day someone decides do bring a gun to defend it's side, we'll have a situation that might become a tragedy.

Of course its fine, I am not an American and I'm discussing American politics too. I only try to discuss policy merits, the only reason I may appear to be a Trump supporter is because he gets so much unjustified hate from people uneducated about his policies. It just appears silly to show particular preference towards a candidate when you aren't American, and thus have imperfect knowledge about the country and its interests.

So what you are saying is, since he isn't from America, he can't talk about America, and can't legitimately have likenesses to candidates, and doesn't have as much politic knowledge about America as Americans.

Of course he can, what are you talking about? Frankly, half of America are diehard patriots who believe that their country tries to do the right thing for the American folk. Frankly, I trust someone not from the country to talk about the country better, with less bias and propogandisation, then someone from the country.

it was an analogy to compare how stupid it was to argue that legalising all drugs would solve the drug problem.

So explain your analogy.

That may well be true. But does that mean its pointless trying to fight drug production simply because there will other forms will appear in the market? Whats the point of putting criminals in jail when there will always be people violating the law everyday?

The difference is, it works for other crimes. Also, why should not any person do anything they want to themselves? You, and only you should control what you do to yourself.
