We're arguably more divided than ever before in history. I second this. It's not like America has had a revolution and a civil war in its short history.

Anarchists.
why
The idea of creating a world with non-coercive, non-hierarchical institutions is singularly attractive.

The electoral college obviously failed in preventing an unfit person from becoming president.
By whose judgement? There's certainly nothing in the constitution defining Trump as unfit. But, of course, you don't mean he's technically ineligible, you just mean you consider him to be unfit. The institutions of your republic were not built with your preferences in mind.

Why do pollsters keep underestimating the level of white working-class disenchantment and anger with the system?

Under-polling of working-class disaffected whites, shy Trump voters and an over-reliance of the Democrats on the Hispanic vote and states like Wisconsin.

What a stain on this great nation.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say that this gives me the right to criticize and mock this idiocy without it being (apparently) stereotypical anti-American banter. This display of stupidity is a perfectly valid reason to tank the faith I had left in the general American people even further.
The people lob a hand grenade at the establishment for sneering at them, and your solution is to sneer more?

Why is everybody convinced that transparency with respect to the governments negotiating strategy is a good thing? It will weaken the British position horribly.

What were you protesting?
Me personally? Or the march in general?
Both, unless they're the same.
I was there for the typical reasons I guess: some affinity for the rights to free expression and assembly, dissatisfaction with the curbing of civil liberties through things like EDOs, dislike for the government's cyber-security policy etc. It was a very broad march, as is usually the case with anything Anonymous. Some were there out of frustration, others because they are anarchists.

I wouldnt have guessed you'd ever go to an anonymous march
You wouldn't have guessed I'd march in the name of stuff like freedom of speech and assembly?

come on meta you'll post like 20 volumes about shit no one cares about and 1 sentence about stuff we're interested in
tell us how your day went
There were a lot of people in Trafalgar Square. We all marched down the street--apparently with coppers at the front guiding us--and headed to some area I can't even remember the name of (first time in Central London (maybe near Westminster Cathedral)). They had "Failure to comply may result in arrest" beamed in green lettering on one of the buildings. Then we went to Buckingham Palace; couldn't even get close to it, they had metal fencing set up and riot police with dogs. I think they sort of freaked because the Palace was outside the 'designated route' for the protest; loads of police vans turn up, I see a couple people get arrested, there's chanting etc. Anyway there's this wall just across from the Palace with a gap leading into some grassy area, and we were both in front and behind the wall. So the coppers push their way through and set themselves up in a line in the gap in the wall, splitting us up. Some of us tried to break the police line, but more of them rushed over and pushed us away--I managed to fuck up my ankle when I was being shoved. Then I had a copper tell me I could be arrested if I didn't remove my mask. It kind of died off. They pushed us down the road, away from Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Sqaure. We heard we were supposed to regroup at Big Ben, but we checked it out and it was dead. Yeah, that was my day. EDIT: The police were expecting it to get ugly. They cracked down hard.

The police were on job. Set up cordons and lines of vans when we got to Buckingham Palace, and then started separating us and pushing us apart and trying to get us to move on for being outside the designated protest area. Had a copper tell me that if I continued wearing a Guy Fawkes mask I would be arrested, which I thought was pretty fucked up.
Take note, world, if you want to shut down a peaceful protest then look no further than the Met on Nov 5 2016.

Conservatives have a habit of demonizing every nice thing they come across. Leftists have a habit of generalisation. microaggressions Microaggressions are good things? Thank God. For a moment I was afraid I wouldn't be able to express my underlying prejudices.

Define "best".

None of them.

Does labour have any chance of winning an election while corbyn is head honcho? I can't say from the textbooks, but the polls would suggest they cannot. Can the libdems be saved from this nothing they've become? Personally I'm doubtful. The late 1990s to 2010 were characterised by a decline in the classic majoritarian system of government; the rise of third parties like the Liberal Democrats was a part of this. Since 2010, though, there's been kind of a return to the norm, with two-partism coming back in force across England and Wales. I wouldn't expect any coalitions any time soon.
