The reality that we have a system where you can lose the popular vote and still win?

It doesn’t matter because this chocolate is dangerous to eat anyway. Try to bite down on it and there’s a high chance the triangle peaks will cut the roof of your mouth and ruin your mood.

I agree we could do without the preening and long suffering bullshit about how it’s so harrrrd to vote for Hillary Clinton. Voting for her was easy, but that shouldn’t stop someone from saying they’d like better options. Hell I would have preferred better options than her, and I’m not talking about Bernie Sanders…

By all means, rant away, but remind them at the end that their correct vote for the wrong reasons is still important and necessary.

Watching Fox News when it becomes clear the Republicans won’t take the White House is good. Election night is the one night where you can’t really spin the news when the results don’t go your way. Until then it’s exhausting.

Yes, but will it get to Karl Rove 2012 meltdown insanity levels before the end of the night?

Probably, but I also do think that the whole “It just makes the voting process run smoother for more people” reason would be compelling enough even without any security considerations.

I swear I’m not making it up, this is the text I copied from the top of the article when I first clicked on it. Now it’s changed.

The longer he stands there the more likely it is that his presence becomes disruptive to lots of other people getting to vote. Larger crowds, the bystander effect (e.g. people are paying more attention to him and not going about their own voting as rapidly as they should) and all that jazz. Getting him in and out of…

At this point, we are 12-18 hours away from being able to know whether it will be close enough for him to do that with any credibility, so I hesitate to speculate. Once it becomes clear the election is over, he may rapidly lose the support of Republicans who are left standing if he tries to contest a clear loss.

I voted this morning. Given the choices, there was only one sane one. Not that it really matters, because by the power of the Electoral College, my vote won’t wind up meaning jack diddly.

Wait, you’re allowed to vote for yourself?

But that’s still not a high hurdle to clear. You get rid of pre-ticked boxes, put it in your standard TOS and EULA, and require the user to click “I Agree” to a nice contract where they do give their consent.

What civilizations are you talking about precisely?

One time I heard that Congress passes a ruling and The Supreme Court bills an executive order to the Electoral College so the President can sign a precedent omnibus into a judicial review so that the Minority Whip can take a law in front of the FCC to get it confirmed by the FOMC which has to be carried out by the…

I wonder if she even really understands what’s going on at Dakota Access Pipeline.

It sounds moreso like a parody title for a kid’s book that a nightmare universe Neoconservative SNL might come up with to make fun of gay parenthood.

You’ve just proved his point.

Which demonstrates that he might be smart. What demonstrates that he’s really pretty smart is that he understands that the mechanics of winning an election revolve around speaking to the voters who occupy the middle chunk of the bell curve in terms of everything from how politicized they are to how smart they are,…

Yep. When you stop and think about it, it’s really sort of amazing that America survived the great persimmon wipeout of 1819.
