the ramblings of a voter

[pepper_green]

so boring. politics are boring. when I take a shit I think to myself that im glad im not voting. when I wash my hands I then consider. why should I wash this shit from my hands?

voting is like diarrhea. it hurts but you must decide to carry on or act now. what if I don't act now and just shit in my pants?

I choose to act now instead of shitting in my pants.

you guys can continue to discuss the diarrhea emanating from yr brains but, there is only one solution...flush it down the drain and forget about it. like an asshole.

If you really feel they're all the same, then do the world a solid and just vote Dem. If you don't really care, then this is a simple request. Much obliged.

From Politicus US/The Washington Post/The Huffington Post:

Trump Has Pocketed Nearly 8 Million Dollars Of Donor Money While Running For President
Trump is living large on other people's money, as he's taking millions of dollars that are supposed to be used to build his presidential campaign and instead giving it to his own companies.

Of course, one could say that whoever gives money to Donald fucking Trump deserves to be ripped off anyway...

How can Minnesota be just "likely Democratic"? It has voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in 13 out of the last 14 elections (the fucked up exception being Nixon in '72). That's 52 freakin' years! Only state to NOT vote for goddamn Cristiano Ronaldo Reagan!

[d.sound]

i've been a news junkie for over a decade. with any election, it becomes irritating towards the end. this election turned me off quicker than any other. i'm already sick of it. donald trump says something and then flip flops, and then flip flops again. hillary says the same defensive lines as if we weren't paying attention when she perjured herself in front of congress. her current strategy is to stay out of the news. an al gore or john kerry would be more exciting to vote for.

for the record, i'm throwing my vote away to jill stein. even she's not a perfect candidate, but who the fuck else is there to vote for?

What state do you live in? Because either "Way to go" or else "You're an asshole."

Did you hear that episode of On the Media a few weeks ago?

"The Lesser Evil" and "Voting From the Head, Not the Heart" are especially relevant pieces.

[ilduclo]

yeah, if you're in either a solid red or solid blue state (I'm in Oregon, so I could conceivably cast a protest vote and it wouldn't mean jack). I did so in the primary for Sanders, to try to convince the Dem party that peace and wealth redistribution are important. There's a good youtube from Noam Chomsky as to why he's voting Clinton. I used to love voting in the COMPLETELY OPEN Washington state primary. I'd often times vote for the most bizzarrro Republican in hopes that they would ascend and then get hammered in the general. It was a magical thing to see, I'll tell ya.

to address the electoral vote deal, the 538 blog has it

Clinton 353, Trump 184.5 and Johnson 0.5

i don't like this manipulative approach. if people want to vote their conscience they should not be in anyway judged or blamed. if folks want to increase support for a particular candidate then they should focus on that and not on browbeating those who choose not to or who choose to support a different candidate. this is a fundamental premise of any idea of democracy

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

also while i totally believe Overlord Hillary will crush Trump in electoral votes i should say i been reading 538 for several years now and they are always more or less full of shit and shouldnt ever be taken necessarily more seriously than the onion

[dead_battery]

trump will be a disaster and every sane person wants clinton but at a certain point you have to understand that people get sick of the blackmail of voting for the least worst. more poverty, more trillions on lost wars all so these deranged and deluded elites can live in their senile fantasy worlds.

at what point does it stop? are we supposed to just keep voting for the slightly less insane and destructive candidate? nothing will be solved until we make decisions with computers rather than brains imo

[d.sound]

i live in columbus ohio. overwhlemingly democratic/hillary district. the whole state is going to be hers anyway.
i want to send a message.

but you don't vote in 'merica, and this is different from the parliamentary system where your MPs get a prime minister

the issue here is that "big tent" parties absorb broad factions and the presidential election ends up being more or less the mathematical equivalent of a runoff election (not quite, but sort of).

it's not a great system because it drowns out everything but the most conservative voices. for example, bernie sanders goes from democratic runner-up to being a nobody, rather than stay as leader of the social democrats and take part in a coalition government with the let's call them hillariites.

then again it also helps prevent a madman minority from hijacking their coalition and projecting more power than the votes it gets as it often happens with the ultrareligious parties in israel. the tea party faction tried to become something like that within the republicans, actually, and it's what has been fracturing them since.

we're already being governed by computers, more or less. the thing is, it's people who program them for their own ends.
