You’re lying. You’re outright lying. You contemptible little creature. Slither back into your sewer.

Alright, I’m going to take a deep breath and try to stay rational here while I explain this, because I mostly live in a permanent state of modest outrage these days. Forgive me if I come across crass:

Should have pulled a Deadspin.

“A lot of the people who voted for Stein don’t even remember the Nader debacle in 2000"

Worse, these dipshits refuse to acknowledge that Nader had a detrimental effect. Completely delusional. 

The whole structure of our voting system and government fundamentally favors a 2-party system, though. Comparisons to other countries with multiple political parties usually don’t take into account their different voting methods (proportional representation, non-single member districts, etc).

When Vincent Price was still among us unworthies, he gave a talk at some college drama program or other, and some snotnosed brat asked him if he was ever embarrassed to do some of the “less artistic” films he’d appeared in. Vincent leaned over, looked him right in the eye and said, “I was not embarrassed in the…

I am skeptical. The fact of the matter is that as bad as their policies are, the establishment Republicans in the senate are not a bunch of fools. They were afraid of Donald Trump because they know the demographic shift in this country and they know that appealing to white resentment and only white resentment is a…

Nope, even if you say Hillary was easily the “lesser evil” that puts her and Trump on the same plane of comparison, when they weren’t even on the same planet. Hillary was an establishment Democrat who probably would have been a continuation of the Obama years with an edge pointing toward some liberal progress as far…

I feel like he might as well of run on a campaign of free unicorns for all, just as feasible as his actual platform

There is no way we can break the stranglehold of the two parties unless we have a Constitutional convention, or somehow change to a Parliamentary system. In other words, it’s never going to happen. So we have two parties locked in an eternal struggle of good vs. evil, and the only choice we have is whether we vote for…

Their chairman in Michigan is apparently giggling over people being poisoned by this floating garbage island of an “administration” so no, I don’t think they’re going to generate a lot of positive attention. That twunt probably danced a hornpipe when she found out about Flint’s water. “Yay, a whole generation of…

Don’t forget Qatar! And Cuba! Is there a country left that doesn’t hate us yet?

If I hear the name Bernie Fucking Sanders one more fucking time...I cannot believe the depths of delusion with these remora-gripped nitwits. BERNIE FUCKING SANDERS IS. A. POLITICIAN. He is not a wizard, wise and gentle elder tree spirit, or magical genie who could grant free health care and college for all. He made it…

First of all, there are people IN THIS THREAD suggesting that she’d be “as bad as Trump” in regards to the environment, Syria, etc. So, those people did/do exist (which I think you’re trying to deny “exited”?). Since I don’t live in a world of hypotheticals, I live in a world in which Trump is absolutely president and…

I lived in Italy for a while where they have a bajillion parties. You still end up with two parties - the left and the right, only they are coalitions rather than separate parties. Same difference, though. It wouldn’t magically solve anything. And what is most likely to happen is what happened in 2016 - the fringe…

Sorry to flip out at you. But I am just so fucking tired of the ridiculous and nakedly self-serving “choice between two evils” trope peddled by self-described “left wing” candidates and voters.

THERE WAS ONLY EVER ONE EVIL!!!!

It really, really works. My hometown was originally a coal mining town. The mines closed nearly a hundred years ago. Because the coal ran out. (It wasn’t a huge deposit, but enough to keep going for a bit and enable a town to grow up around them) Most everybody there is now waiting on the mines to reopen. Despite the…

Now now, mustn’t upset the precious poor whites and their ‘economic uncertainty’ that FORCED them to vote for a xenophobic racist fascist monster.

In 2009 the GOP coined the term death panel, a complete lie to terrify the fear driven Republican base, in order to oppose the ACA.
