To each their own. I'm not beholden to a letter after someone's name when I vote, and voted for the candidate among the 5 that I wanted to see as President and wanted to get to 5%. If you hadn't wasted your vote on the overall loser in a highly-blue state, maybe we could've had multiple parties and multiple funded debaters in 2020. As it is, good luck with Spartacus/Beto trying to take down orangeman.
Right, because 3rd party candidates have been so successful in the past? Orange man has been doing the country very well for the 2020 election. This weeks snafu will likely take another hit on his chances. Just like the Beatles, the hits just keep on coming, just not in a good way like it was for the Beatles. Trump will soon be singing he will look good being Putin's orange puppet, or maybe court jester.
Yeah that seems shaky too. I guess there are not rules preventing him to run as a dem. I bet though Hillary though he’d be easy Pickens. Plus he endorsed her too.
Well almost 1,000 delegates more, 3.7mil voters and 55% of the vote to 43% isn't really considered much of a race though. Sanders endorsed her so that he could stay in good graces with the democratic party. I have no problem with him running, but run with your political affiliation.
Well now we know what a business man with no political experience is like as president. Not a very good picture. In the spirit of Christmas I countered your green font with red font.
Is this like that Sonic/Blazer game the last year there...? That was one of the crappier games I've seen in person...
Wikileaks released over 20,000 emails showing clear and distinct bias toward Clinton, and a concerted effort to distance from Sanders. The chair of the DNC was forced to resign because of outrage over the issue. She was literally heckled off stage by her own party members during her departure speech.
Yeah, but you are overstating the issue. The Democratic National Committee favored a Democrat, true - no big surprise there. And they definitely wanted Bernie to drop out after he'd lost, rather than continuing. I can totally see why Bernie's supporters were upset about it - but it didn't change the outcome. barfo
Same here, except I was aiming for 50% instead of 5%. When a good candidate runs in a 3rd party, I'll vote for them. But not until. Good luck with your Commander-in-Chief in the meantime. barfo
Since you and I voted otherwise, we would lose due to vast coffers of money these two organizations have and accumulate.
I could just as easily argue that you are understating. I could also say less decietful (and therfore less effective) tactics were used by "The Russians" themselves. Internet trolling and memes produced by Russian bot farms who's primary goal is clicks - not influencing elections - does not strike me as a vast and effective conspiracy to upturn the American political system. Sounds more like a scapegoat invented by a losing team. These bot farms, which come from many places abroad, not just the country where "The Russians" come from, change their ads according to the media landscape at the time. When there is an election in progress, guess what kind of ads you'll see? Amazing how that works. It's called advertising. Its also worth pointing out that the negative ads were aimed at MULTIPLE candidates from BOTH parties, not just Hilldog. It was a vast, blanketing, click campaign. You dont get more clicks by picking on one candidate, you crank out material to reach the widest audience possible. Dems lost the election and have been grabbing for straws ever since. It would be the same thing if party roles were swapped I imagine.
Whatever man, I have never said she did nothing wrong. She ran a terrible campaign. She should have visited the midwest. Should have spoke and indentified with blue collar workers. Too much talk about the middle and upper class. She should have attacked Trump head on and not thought it would be enough to let him bury himself. She should have talked more about her plan for America, detailed it, make voters believe. She should not have used her own personal server for her work emails even if the policies were not clear. But, she was lazy. She was awkward. She was foolish. She made too many mistakes. And, it cost her the presidency.
Wasn't meant to be a dig at you exclusively, more of a broad statement. All great points I couldn't disagree with.
