Hi!

Well, looks like I'll be looking up Michelle's speech later

. I'm not surprised she'd give a great speech, though. She's so cool

.

Also, hi, Sean

Both parties are really reaping what they've sown this year. The result is one candidate that is lackluster and another who is a downright disaster.

That was Bush. Bush was President.

I mean, if the party members really cared about beating Trump, they wouldn't have nominated Clinton over Sanders.

No thanks. I don't want Clinton to choose our President from 2025-2033 for me.

Same argument over and over for Clinton. "But we must stop Trump!" "But we have to stop Trump!"

If you cared about beating the Republican candidate, you wouldn't have nominated someone so disliked by the rest of the American population. It was pointed out time and again, reiterated in poll after poll from heads-up matchups to trustworthiness to likability. But none of that mattered because it was her turn, goddammit!

This will go down as the ultimate entitlement election. Two exceedingly rich and famous people thinking they are entitled to the Presidency.

Nader and his ridiculous voters made him president.

DaveC · 07-25-2016, 10:29 PM

my god, are you still fucking whining about this?

BigMacPhisto · 07-25-2016, 10:30 PM

Well, I like to actually make sure there isn't going to be a Trump Presidency and the morons fucked everything up. That's well worth whining over.

Bernie lost. It wasn't close. It never was. You can pull out your casual racism to explain, but the fact is that she was the overwhelming choice of Democratic primary voters.

Nope. Bush's voters got him elected by getting him enough votes to win enough states to get to 270 electoral votes. I guess you don't understand how elections work.

Then you'll be voting for Hillary and D's all down the ticket. And in off year elections. Good to hear.

It's what Bernie wants you to do.

Except that Gore won the popular vote and it was Nader voters who took votes from Gore in critical Florida.

You'll also note that Sanders endorsed Gore in 2000.
