What numbers are you arguing their statistic that swing voters would have predictably gone to Bernie .A nice thought but i'm not convinced .As for courting .who am i courting? i'm not a Democrat.
Because swings are typically Independent. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why...ependents/
Quote:2.By all means go right ahead and vote for the Republicans .Thou i hope you remember you did so over a disagreement on the internet seems like kind of a trivial thing to place the future of your country in peril over .
Nope, I'll do it for the same reason that I usually tend toward Democrat, and that's because Republicans are dicks. By all means, keep being a dick to people who voted Bernie.

Wow. Other than CNN, your sources are total crap.
Quote:4. You think because i can't vote( a thing that is hardly my fault )
Move to the U.S. if you want a say in the vote.
Quote:i can't voice an opinion ?
Not at all. I think you can voice your opinion all you want. In fact, I'm happy to discuss American politics with anyone from anywhere. However, when you blame people like me, who didn't vote for Trump or Hillary, you're telling me which way I should vote. Personally, I don't think you get a say in how any of us vote. Yes, it may affect you, but Democracy isn't about voting for people in other countries. It's about voting for the way you want your country run. I don't want my country run by a bank shill in a pantsuit or a real estate shill in a toupee. Tough titty. Unless you want to hand over Trudeau, I don't see how you can help.
2. I'm not a dick to people who voted for Bernie (Considering i support Sanders ) I'm simple pointing out your the one who said you would vote Republican over our discussion here .I said that would be silly .
3. Dismissing my links as " crap" is not an argument .
4.And lastly i'm not telling people how they should vote .Pointing out my agreement with the idea that not voting for X lead to election of Y does in no way mean i'm saying you should have voted for X .Seriously you seem hell bent on imply i said something i never did. At no point did i say vote for Hilary .At the start of this thread i made it clear i don't like Hilary. So kindly stop telling me what i said . I clearly said "it's partially true" as in it's true in the sense of the X/Y equitation above. That's not the same as direct blame nor telling you how to vote nor is it saying that they are the only factor that inadvertently lead to Trump winning .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
