If your vote was based on believing false pretenses that you were fed, then yes, those votes were tampered with.

I voted for Hillary in the primaries. I like Hillary okay. I still think that of all the candidates in the primaries, on both sides, she was the best.

That is literally what happened. Look at the margins in several states. Michigan was about 10,000. North Carolina was about 54,000. Wisconsin 20,000. That is 41 electoral votes. That swings the election.

Perhaps one should consider those suffering under the greater evil and ask whether they would have been better served with a seriously flawed but undeniably better option?

What it did was swing votes and enthusiasm away from Clinton. It made it easy to say “both sides are corrupt, I’m not going to vote.” It also made it so they had to spend much of their time dealing with nonsense scandals.

Do you not think that hacking and releasing a parties private info is interfering with the election?

I happen to agree that the Comey announcement was a nail in the coffin, but it came in the context of months of drips and drabs about leaked emails and servers and DNC shitheels. I don’t think it can be looked at outside the context of what preceded it. Anyone telling you that there was ONE thing and only one thing…

My comment was limited to whether or not Russia tampered with votes, which to my knowledge has not been proven in any meaningful way.

Of course there were people who were undecided in the run up to the election. I don’t understand how they go about their lives, but they were out there. And some number of those people on the fence were likely influenced by the documents dumped by WikiLeaks.

Again, how does voting for a third party that is guaranteed not to win help people?

this is deeply ironic coming from the people whose precious hero lost the primary by millions of votes

Right. So let’s just increase their suffering with more evil. Seems to have the trick thus far.

What’s humorous is you ranting about purity tests but then calling everyone else who tells you to politely “fuck off” the tea party 2.0.

You’ve got some Tomi Lahren level hyperbole going but that’s cool we’re just fascists for telling people to vote for the best candidate on the ballot.

Because choosing a third option really helps those people, right?

They don’t seem to understand that if you vote for the lesser of two evils, the net effect is less evil. Don’t you want less evil?

Here, I won’t patronize you: What you are is insufferable. If you are given two viable choices and you throw your vote away by choosing the nonviable third or making no choice at all, you’re complicit. If you believe in your cause and have a brain in your head, you’ll understand that incremental progress or, God…

Fascinating, considering ANY ARTICLE that mentioned Hillary Clinton brings out the trolls (like you) WHO NEVER POST HERE except to shit on Hillary Clinton. It’s almost as if YOU are obsessed with HER. Got a Google alert for “Hillary Clinton” do you, random troll who never posts on Jezebel lecturing a long time Jezebel…

You know shit all about my politics. Tulsi Gabbard is a military hawk, genius. I realize that the ONLY qualifications you believe a woman should have is “endorsing Bernie”, but it’s not really a guarantee that they are liberal. Now who is the neo liberal shill? Do your fucking research.

Oh, come on. You know that if she didn’t respond, people would’ve written op-eds being like, “Why hasn’t Hillary responded? Does she endorse sexual harassment?” Everything Hillary Clinton does and does not do is news and has been since at least 1992.

Can we stop with the Clinton shit. She is no longer news. She is not the president. She is not actively destroying our country. She is a flawed person who has made a fair amount of stupid decisions in her life. She has also been attacked relentlessly for her mistakes. And also for everything else she has ever done. It…
