Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is DEAD!!!
Shawn K. Quinn: Let me explain to you how presidential voting works (in every state but Maine and Nebraska, anyway)
Don't care about rules. YOU could've written in anybody yins wanted, stupid.
voting for Gary Johnson was the same as voting for Trump
A vote for one is not a vote for another.
it is what it is
They call this quitter.
Hi @abditum. I know 'Griffin Boyce' is a pretty beautiful name, but it is _not_ yours. Please stop using it. It's creepy, uh! :( Quinn tried to explain you how the (North!) American elections work. It's pretty illogical, unfair and doesn't make any sense to the rest of the world, but hey, it is _not_ his fault! He was just trying to help you, guy. There was no sarcasm or lie in his message.

Exactly. Sure, technically you can write in anybody and vote for anybody on the ballot. But the reality is, unless an overwhelming number of people vote third-party, it's just going to take more votes away from the second-place candidate and it's effectively a vote for the eventual winner. Doesn't matter if the votes are for Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, Evan McMullin, or Mickey Mouse. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com> http://www.rantroulette.com http://www.skqrecordquest.com

The other thing about US elections is the whole thing is a dog and pony show for the "electorate". Maybe Hillary would've done marginally better on the environment. Otherwise, even with an embarrassing buffoon like Trump... what's the fucking difference? John

You know... When people tell me voting for a third party does this or that, or how it will break the system... That's EXACTLY what I want. What I'm wondering is how many people voted for the guy with the little hands just to break the motherfucker, not because they thought he'd 'do a good job'. Probably more than anyone knows. Rr

It doesn't do what you think it does. It does nothing to break the system. In Texas, if you voted for Stein, Johnson, McMullin, or Mickey Mouse... you effectively voted for Trump and made it that much more difficult to turn Texas blue. that actually thought Trump would be a good president. -- Shawn K.

Quite simply, you're wrong. But I guess it depends on your POV of what you consider "Broken". Unfortunately the shitstem repairs itself as soon as everyone stops hammering on it. We need more 'hammers', and people who don't turn their back as soon as the oppressor they desired opressor (Carter, Obama, pick a blue faction president) is elected. Democrat progressive liberals and Republican Libertarians, the majority of IS libertards, are ABSOLUTELY part of the problem, and closeted Fascists. Just ask anyone whose (formerly) lived in a 'hipster gentrified' community.

I'll repeat something I KNOW I said on this list somewhere along the line: I don't give a fuck about your "Blue" faction of the one party state with an ideology of American exceptionalism, and global war as it's economic basis.

I DON'T vote, and further, as I stated farther back, even the Narco-state Colombia has a "none" option on their ballots. Rr

When the DNC deliberately sabotaged the Sanders campaign, using every means necessary to assure Clinton's nomination, the Democratic Party lost the Presidential election. It's as simple as that. The Democratic party just proved itself worse than worthless and less than useless, except of course in the eyes of Progressive Liberals who expect to gain personal financial advantages from NeoLiberal national policy. Even with Sanders, they could have kept and expanded their personal sense of categorical superiority to anyone who is so ignorant, bigoted, etc. as to disagree with them.
I'd like to know why there are so many stupid people in this country that actually thought Trump would be a good president.
Show a Progressive Liberal a button labeled "Kill a random foreign family to help assure your own children's future financial security," and not one of them would push it. But label that button "Obama and Clinton's Foreign Policy Agenda," and they will pound that button until their fingers bleed - but not as much as the children of those same foreign families bleed. They are still bleeding right now. Democratic Party loyalists who take great pride in being more intelligent, responsible, and better informed than "all others" don't get a pass on the basis of ignorance. If there is /any/ basis for their posture of inherent superiority, the only explanation for their behavior is that they are ruthless, vicious persons who heartily endorse mass murder for profit, while quite deliberately lying to themselves and others about that - with the kindly assistance of bullshit packaged and fed to them by propaganda contractors working the Left Wing audience. In a contest between a loose cannon with no track record in public service, and a tried, proven, effective public servant with a track record of mass murder /and/ significant evidence indicating that she takes childish delight in murder, who does a "stupid" person vote for? Either, go toss a coin; stupid people vote for propaganda images. Who does an intelligent, educated, upwardly mobile middle class Liberal vote for? The proven killer, every time. And when they lose, they come up snarling. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYLJQFAAoJEECU6c5XzmuqkKQH/iAP8TTQI2Jo2KXBSuE5yqBr qqxMzoWgLWesnZ2Vmqz0ytoGxzJCNcRHWIZaJsS1JWYB1Xrk3Vlir6Rx6Uci18dl ZaKM2hSqpeHDDuujICJLNCHcfPiP07rFMXTGYZnXqng6tmS8hb3BE8zL0tVSfYWJ KhzpzOvxMSPL+eNYEqQVwB8hai7qvrPGPLess19BxnttIr76M+EKjgZfRT/J4XFo o7uT1y/sgNBaZVhqz6vxIn5fHNIXUOZqpOk3iyqMV5fyvLyG0EZT1LSfJiLAJI+b rUopNjH5Qu3LrqydP/V3m5tvqo2/Y2r64x/RkgI34hP/m86oJtxxBffppwFDNXc= =4nNG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
