I think you quoted the wrong post.
No. I meant to quote you. I think if hillary will lose, it will be because the bernie supporters/age demographic of liberal voters wont vote or wont vote for her because they think a 3rd party candidate will start some sort of revolution. Much like the Nader campaign at the time. I really think Nader took away many votes from Gore that may have kept it from being so close and turning into a fraudulent situation. And i also think Bernie stepped out of the race to avoid such a thing again. It is okay to vote for the lesser of two evils if it means keeping that asshat out of the office.
yeah, bernie stepped out.

Maybe one should vote in such a way that brings about the best chance at a third party emerging to topple the big two. The two party candidates get worse and worse with each election. Look what voting for the lesser evil has gotten us.

This doesn't apply to Strat, who delusionally believes Hillary is a "good person". He's too far gone to help.

No way I'm voting for one of the two bigs. I'll vote for the best candidate and let the chips fall. This country will get what she deserves.

me too broseph.

If we don't do something, the next election will be between a democrat that makes Trump seem like a reasonable fellow, and a Republican that communicates in grunts and farts.

It's gonna get worse before it gets better. Change your cowardly ways.

I had watched most of the convention until last night, when I only caught most of Trump. Aren't those speeches supposed to be upbeat & optimistic instead of dark & gloomy? It was like he was running for mayor of Gotham City instead of President.

For the 10's of millions of Americans whose jobs were destroyed by globalization or immigration, shit's not exactly coming up roses. If the Dems would stop calling all these people racists for 5 minutes and listen to their issues, we could probably get rid of Floppsie and his clown brigade.

Can only imagine what would happen if globalization or immigration didn't destroy the economy.

In retrospect, I'm really embarrassed at myself that I didn't make this post on Day 1.
