The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
where i live, both the senate and the house elections have two candidates from the same party running.

but we do have a shitload of ballot measures to vote on.

was it really a suprice that the DNC didn't like the guy who purposely was never a member of the DNC despite agreeing with them 99% of the time anyways

you can't purposely reject the anime club while staring in the window keeping an eye on things then show up one day demanding to be president of anime club. it doesn't work like that

it worked for the RNC

well it only worked for them because the preferred establishment candidate was so boring as to be undercut by a dozen also rans who were all looking for their slice of glory and while they were playing idiot musical chairs, trump stole a plurality of the vote

if they had rallied around one person trump would have been the right's bernie in 2016, a decent showing but not enough

I can forgive them because they really didn't do poo poo and Bernie lost because people didn't vote for him. I voted for Bernie, but honestly i think he might be getting trounced in this general if he had somehow made it through the primary

Evidently he was, in fact, a verified human being -- actually born on this planet.

Pretty down to earth and progressive. His views are far too left to take effect in the current political landscape, so he was a safe counterbalance to the strong multi-right resurgence within the legislature and state governments. Obama has been fairly center despite the right wing's rhetoric over the years. Also he was exceedingly popular and doesn't have Hillary's past haunting him. He also refused to accept large campaign contributions.

hillbots are the corpse that keeps on twitching. just a point of order, there is a difference between pragmatically voting with a group because their policies are closer to your views than the alternative and actually wholeheartedly embracing those policies.

it's a decision made based on the observations that developed into accelerationism. i hope that trump is so incompetent that he drops the baton and then we can have some change

Honestly this is kind of really dumb in any serious capacity. Things can get a lot worse before they get better and I feel like people who say this 'lol accelerationism' stuff are suburban white people who don't really believe things will be affected much one way or another for them personally thus they feel secure in saying that but not worrying about potential consequences of that attitude.

Who gives a poo poo if she is likeable or not? Do you want the guy working at the DMV to be a likeable goofball or just being able to get your poo poo done in a fast and efficient manner?

Why are we even talking about this? The alternative is a manchild who doesn't know anything about anything and who couldn't get poo poo done even if his life dependent on it. You will vote the lizard and you will stop complaining!

There are a number of societies historically who would have executed Anarchists with that viewpoint. This sort of nonsense has been a problem since the dawn of man. The best solution is for democracy to band stronger together.

You could argue that Abe Lincoln killed a lot more people than Manson did. Also kicked off a war closer to a race war than anything Manson could ever hope to achieve.
