People who can't see the difference between a prospective Trump or Clinton presidency are either complete morons (likely) and/or in such a privilege bubble (rich, white, male, etc.) that a Trump presidency (and the next 30+ years of a conservative Supreme Court) will have minimal personal impact on them, so they feel okay throwing their little temper tantrums, taking their balls, going home, and completely dicking the rest of us over in a major way.

escape, don't stay home. Vote for Stein. 5% is the magic number to make sure a 3rd party has equal federal funding.

She voted to invade Iraq. She thought it was a fine idea based on Bush's "intelligence". If she got that easy one so wrong then how can I ever trust her? Hindsight blah blah blah, I stood with the millions or billions of others around the world who knew it was all bullshit back in 2002. So yes, Hillary The Hawk will protect the social progress made during the Obama term, but at what cost? A few more wars?

Done with the idea of voting for the candidate who will "rape and murder my dog slightly less than the other one"; done with being told to "toe the line". Not voting for either one of these elitists.

Don't let it happen! If we have to choose between Hillary or Donald then its our own fault for not turning out in droves for Bernie. What he has accomplished in the face of massive media black out, horrendous voter suppression, and voluntarily turning down corporate money, is nothing short of miraculous. Don't give up people!

Look at all the Bernie-or-bust assholes on this thread! Amazing!

If someone said you can either pick to have three fingers chopped off or your whole hand chopped off, and if you didn't choose the default choice would be your whole hand, that you wouldn't pick the lesser of two evils? Fuck the fuck right off!

Take heart that the Bernie movement did so well, much better than expected, and shifted the conversation drastically towards more equitable policies. You don't create a revolution in a single electoral cycle. Use the Bernie momentum to draft a similar candidate much earlier the next time around, get him or her much better funded, and continue to push for your progressive policies. But giving up after "failing" because you weren't able to push through an unorthodox candidate against great odds and through a large party machine this one time around smacks of lazy, self-indulgent ass-sniffing of the highest order.

Please wait...
