Fone you're 100% insincere and an expert bullshitter exactly like trump, (not saying they are negative traits, just noticeable online lol) I can't even complain anyway since it's likely just a manufactured online persona like a defence mechanism.
Contrary to popular belief there are people that will vote for Trump that aren't white males etc or whatever his key demographic. he did get a zero % approval rating with black voters in a poll recently. "Popular belief" looks accurate in this instance.
It has been that way in the Republican party for a long time this isn't something new.

If I was worried about approval ratings I would never vote for Trump...

I don't pay attention to polls or approval ratings.

From best case scenario to worse:
Nothing > Trump > I'm with her > I'm with her because I don't want to see Trump
I think you're ok

This is why I'm getting pissed off at people like Sarah Silverman and even Bernie himself. They're saying that we need to band together to take down Trump, but if that's the only reason to vote for Hillary, that's a gawdawful reason to vote for her. That's like saying that in order to lose weight, I need to take a lot of heroin. I mean sure it'll work, but my body would be ravaged for the rest of my life. Nonsense, cocaine is MUCH better for taking weight off.
And this lesser of two evils crap IS NOT NEW. The last time there was a major party candidate I wanted to vote for was 1960. And the voting age was 21 at the time. Yes, I volunteered.
[/quote]Bernie supporters have been *** over during the primaries, they've had their voices snuffed out during every Democratic convention and ignored by the media. Hell, the party that they've been a part of has had emails leaked proving that the Democrats have been conspiring against Bernie and his supporters from day one....[/quote]
Again this IS NOT NEW. While no one here save I can remember 1968 and clean for Gene, I do. Look it up.
P. S. things did not go well for Humphrey in that election.

I've seen some ***in P&R, but there's a meltdown happening here that's pretty epic. I mean, I'm so in awe, I don't even know what to do besides watch. Let me guess, the DNC? No, you.
It's like the greatest thing ever. Every thing Trump has done that has any vagueness to it, you say Hillary did it.
Trump insults his way to the Republican presidential nominee, you say Hillary insults her way around. It's beautiful in in a way, the same kind of beautiful as the majestic female angler fish. A) I'm not having a meltdown. I'm not like Vic.
B) Are you freaking serious? There isn't one thing that Trump is "guilty" of that Clinton isn't also.

This is not an election for the "Greater of Two Goods," it's an election of "Lessor of Two Evils." Regardless of who wins, America is ***.

When you have thousands of talking heads on TV repeating hundreds of times everyday that he is racist it starts to sink in. The Democrats have run the most divisive negative campaign that I have ever seen in my lifetime.

I'm not voting for Trump, I'm voting against Clinton.... Why don't you vote FOR Gary Johnson?
Oh right... you have been brainwashed that any vote for a 3rd party candidate is wasted.
As I said. And this lesser of two evils crap IS NOT NEW. Its part of how they control you.

It's because a 3rd party is the equivalent of voting for me for President.

That or he has spent the last 30 years saying racist, vile things about African American citizens. But sure, make up stuff about the Dems to make yourself feel better.

The electoral college ensures that votes for non-viable candidates are in fact, wasted. You're spending your vote on a statement, when it could be spent voting for a candidate who is at least closer to your values than the opponent.
It'd be nice if independent and third party candidates were viable; they are not, from a pure mathematical standpoint. Calling that "brainwashing" is ridiculous.

Arranged by the bipartisan committee on presidential debates. The EXPLICITLY bipartisan committee. So Ross Perot will never happen again.
I think getting a third party into those debates is a worthwhile goal in and of itself.

I'm not particularly for her, myself. But the Democratic party has integrated quite of few of Sander's stances into her platform. I'm pissed they *** Sander's over, but not so pissed I'm going to go against what Sander's stands for just to "*** the system".
Trump's platform was already nearly "Nuke it from orbit" in my eyes. He now has an incredibly well known bigot for a running VP and some of the Republican party stances he's had integrated into his platform push it well beyond that point. How can you believe anything associated with her platform? She's a proven pathological liar. I mean she isn't half the liar her husband was. She's not going to feel bad about *** the base over when she needs to. Not one bit.
