Hey... look... take solace that after a month or so everyone will be back to their own lives. The same Trump Bluster that gets people worked up is the same bluster that blows out before bad.

Eh, what idea? (I’m not sure what that refers to)

You can want the best for everyone despite being required to take a side. In all seriousness I think this guy needs a sentence that deals with his issue... not just throwing him in genpop jail.

I agree, and in terms of what is effective I sadly agree.

I never, ever said I was voting for Stein. Christ... your projections against fellow leftists make this impossible.

I want nothing to do with the DNC.

Actually, if you look at coalition systems it tends to decrease gridlock as it creates a government where you simply can’t go zero-sum.

They need to gain a certain amount of support (usually 5%) to qualify the next election as an auto-on the ballot. Other stuffs too including funding.

Yep. Tell that to the DNC who don’t believe legislative seats are worth fighting for.

You realize the DNC has “ignore downticket races” as a core belief, yes?

I do think we should all calm down.

Oh, so like every other election ever?

“not going to be resolved by third parties who only go for the presidency.”

Eh, I don’t think we’re heading to civil war. Those who may “take a stand” are those on domestic terrorist watchlists already. Our biggest threat is that a Clinton election will encourage a few isolated right-wing people to get very angry visits from the BATF. Maybe we have another Waco. Maybe two. But the idea that…

I don’t think they’ll back down either, but those who take it to insurrection are a minority of a minority of a minority and were national safety risks already.

What about people who have real, from-the-left critiques of Clinton that have never been actually addressed?

Are you kidding? Things are getting “better” at a clip the activists in the 60's are downright jealous of.

Sure, and when that question peters out over a week or so of 24/7 news cycle they’ll go back to whatever else they do.

A Civil War would last all of a week, with the first 24 hours ended up with isolated, armed groups holed up in defensive compounds.

I was looking forward to life after the election but it is pretty clear there is no such thing anymore.
