Wait, did I get him? Is this all over?

(checks earpiece)

No, I didn't? Nothing matters? Absolutely nothing matters anymore? Ok.

lol

Do you not understand that if everyone didn't come up with these justifications for their bad voting that collectively it would have a huge impact on who gets into office?

But as long as people twist themselves into knots denying reality and failing to actually make a tough choice and vote properly, yeah it all can seem meaningless. However YOU should have gage intelligence to know voting is important and there were only two candidates and you should have voted accordingly. Lead by example. You could still discuss how it was not an easy choice or there was a lot about Hillary you didn't like but at least you could have presented yourself as someone who employed thoughtful consideration when voting. This potentially impacts others in the future.

Instead you and many others really just abdicated all responsibility but then still try to take the moral high ground. It's chicken crap.

I've seen a dozen plus tweets from that account and I still don't know if it's real.

The best reason to vote for Hillary isn't that we have a two party system, it's that she would make a much better President than Stein or Johnson.

We should get rid of the electoral college though.

Also two Senators per state sucks balls.

The plan includes removing almost all deductions which is a huge part of tax burden reduction for middle class businesses. There is zero evidence that those changes would lead to less taxes paid by small business owners. In fact it would likely do just the opposite.

I'd accept Puerto Rico and DC being states in lieu of changing the Senator rules, at least it seems like a much more likely option.

Yeah, the Senate rules won't change for a long time unless the government changes entirely. Electoral college has some hope. California splitting is a possibility and that would help the 60 to 1 power disparity between some states and others in the Senate. It's not like this would necessarily change things that much, just a matter of equal representation on principle. And the prior discussion brings it to mind because yes, if you don't live in a state that has the slightest chance of being a swing state your vote means absolutely nothing in the presidential election. I voted and voted for HRC, but it was exactly 100% symbolic. At best I was hoping to run up the score, which I did on the popular vote for all the good that accomplished.

I'd definitely support Puerto Rico and DC becoming states.

pop comin in HOT

There can be more than one reason

Speaking of which Graeme Wood did a Richard Spencer piece and it's finally a piece that puts him in the proper context and not just commenting that he grooms himself and is some kind of funny rascal. Turns out they both went to the same elite Dallas prep school

Ironically, more of the tax dollars you pay will go to the war machine under Cheetolini

You didn't vote for Hillary. = you voted for trump

There were only two candidates who could win

If you voted for a candidate that had 0 chance of winning, you are a ****

That was good for a laugh yesterday, but I kind of cringed when I heard it. Part of the cringe was knowing Trump watches and probably got off on it, and the other was that his supporters (being less educated for the most part) might learn from it. We want as many Trumpists as possible thinking he's not omnipotent.

This is just sad. FFS, I give Trump better than 36% to find NK.

The worst part is I want to assume this is fake. But I don't even know anymore. I mean it is from NY Times so I want to assume it is real. But I want to assume any ****ing American didn't think North Korea was in China. But America elected Donald ****ing Trump to POTUS so I have no respect for the average American's intelligence.

His supporters have little to do with it anymore. What's cringe worthy is that he's omnipotent because morally bankrupt republicans are willing to look the other way while our country and its sacred institutions get ripped apart and flushed down the drain.

So stop blaming Trump supporters. Stop blaming other libs who might not agree with you on everything. And stop even blaming Trump who is nothing but a symptom of a political system that has been failing us for years. And start holding these slime bag scum of the earth politicians (both DEM and GOP) accountable before our 3 branches of government; the executive, legislative, and judicial are reduced to cinders are still somewhat intact, but I fear hanging by a thread.

Btw- When I say "you" I don't mean you personally, but all the intolerant libtards around here.

people putting it in the middle of the ocean

Let's say I took one of those people putting it in the middle of ocean. I gave you a 50/50 bet on if they were trolling or if they believed it. What side do you take

If you even took a moment to consider it, **** (and ****, I'm not even sure)

It's obviously a joke, but very well done.

Consider that between every other act of the Resistance and institutional obstructions and barriers people have thrown in front of Trump, like judges rolling back his travel ban -- you can feel good knowing this symbolic troll of Trump is probably what upsets and rankles him the most.

The weirdest bit about that "find north korea" thing is every age range polled had 35%+ get it right except for 45-54 year olds, who scored 25%. Defend your generation, suzzer.

1/3 getting it right is about what I would have guessed, btw. Australians would do slightly better because we are in the Asian region, but I'd still expect sub 50%.

I'm shocked that you guys are shocked about that North Korea map. If you did the same exercise and asked people to label London, Africa, and Washington DC on a global map the results would be equally hilarious. Joe Six Pack doesn't give a **** about any of that.
