And in the broader culture war, which the left is winning, it is important. I really cannot comprehend how you loving accelerationists don't appreciate the strides we've taken. How can you just be willing to burn all this progress and be proud about it?

Don't forget to pat yourself on the back for fighting the good fight by ensuring anyone who came into the thread with a question was screamed at for being a misogynist. Seems to have really paid off for progressives everywhere.

Hey sup everyone, just wanted to interrupt your powerless bitching to remind you that in many swing states (such as Florida) Johnson's share of the vote was larger than the gap between Trump and Clinton. So I guess the moral of the story for Dems is try to appeal to more libertarians like me in the future. I mean, where has your super reliable big government coalition gotten you? And more importantly, those types are a captive audience for you. They'll never vote red no matter what. Anyway that's what I had on my mind. Toodles!

Don't want more Trumps in the future? Get that 3% of the libertarian vote for yourself in an election that hinges on a 2% difference in major swing states. Crying about it won't help you. yw

SSNeoman posted:It is a problem with the political machine, but you're not changing it with your single vote. Until you get 10-15% of the vote, nobody cares or wants to treat third-party as anything more than an outlier. "You are statistically insignificant so politicians don't care and won't care." Blame yourself or god. Third party got about 10% of young voters, and about 18% of all voters said they didn't like either candidate. I wonder what the numbers would be if we had ranked voting.

It turns out the super secret best way to waste your vote isn't to vote third party, it's to stay home and not vote at all.I bet there are a lot of people waking up this morning and wishing they'd given more of a poo poo.

If you're such a thin-skinned little bitch that you allowed this to happen because we didn't coddle you and treat you as if you pissed rose water and poo poo gold bricks then it doesn't matter what we did. Nothing would have been good enough for self-centered sacks of a poo poo like you. So gently caress off with this horseshit.

So you thought it was fine to make a proxy vote for Trump because you thought Hillary voters were arrogant, and that's more important to you than minorities having rights? Face it - you thought Trump was okay enough that you were willing to risk him being in the White House. Own it. Don't give us this stupid "it's Hillary's fault for not being good enough  " poo poo. You thought the risk of Trump was an acceptable one. It's not Hillary's fault you didn't care enough to vote against someone who's proclaimed his intention to deport two entire minority groups en masse and has been caught on tape bragging about sexual assault.

Sound posted:lol yea that's totally it it certainly wasn't the candidate Looking at Florida, I can confirm that third party voters didn't matter at all. Jill Stein's 60k votes would not have made any difference, and Gary Johnson voters are Republicans who under no circumstances would have voted for Clinton. Edit Of course, the electoral college is completely loving broken. This is the second time in the last 16 years that a person who did not receive the popular vote was elected president. The United States has a boat anchor around it's neck, and it's called the Constitution. It turns out that our "beacon of light" constitution written to govern an low population agrarian society 250 years ago doesn't work at all. I've been preaching this for the last 20 years, but I suspect we are closer today to actual dissolution of the union than we have ever been in the history of the United States--and yes that includes 1860 through 1865. Today you have real, important, mainstream people in the state of California pledging their fortunes to advocate and secure a separation of California from the US. That doesn't it mean it will happen tomorrow, or in 10 years, but think about what this actually means. ZombieLenin fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Nov 9, 2016 |

Why the gently caress should we do anything but heap scorn and mockery upon you?

The Shortest Path posted:Voting for a third party (or write in) candidate is throwing your vote away because there is a zero percent chance of that candidate winning the election and also a zero percent chance that either actual political party will care about your missing vote, so your vote affected literally nothing except making you feel slightly better about your own dumb values. This. It's idealistic and not realistic, and unfortunately due to mouth breathing idealism we are forced to deal with the VERY realistic 4 years of a conservative, anti-progressive White House. Thank god you were able to hold on to your morals as we nominate a Supreme Court justice who will determine policy for a century! I can't stand Clinton, but at least we'd retain much of the progress we started. It's now time to reverse all that. But thank god you voted for that third party candidate we'll remember years from now, or thank god you didn't vote because the system was rigged and Hilary was going to win regardless!

J Corp posted:"It's YOUR fault we ran a bad candidate" If you think that she was legitimately worse than Trump then you are literally too stupid to be capable of understanding any argument explaining why you're objectively wrong. If you don't think that and still didn't vote for her over Trump then the same applies. People incapable of understanding reason cannot be reasoned with.
