Yes, apparently it's not enough that she lost the last two elections. People think she still stands a chance. She couldn't win with the DC propping her up, so how do they expect her to win now?

It's America's ( not Murrica's) way of saying "sorry, we really fucked up!"
She's still too old.

Yeah, like compensating his workers better so they can get off welfare.

Because your vote doesn't matter. Never has.
If it did, do you think the Electoral College would continually ignore the popular, majority, vote and go against it?
It's why I don't vote.
If the Electoral College was removed, however......
1) The amount of electors who have voted for candidates aside from what their state overall voted for is entirely negligable, and are generally invalidated anyway. "Faithless" electors havent had an impact on the election result since 1796.
2) You live in Florida, a state that can go red OR blue depending on the votes. A swing state. A very very critical swing state. YOU CONTROL THE ELECTORS IN YOUR STATE. YOU INFLUENCE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Your logic is wrong. Go vote you dunce.

Idk, but maybe we should let Canada decide this time around. They're our neighbor, and seem to have their shit together a little better than us. They might even be able to fool some Americans into thinking theire country is just the upper northern half of America. We're all North America, right?
That reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw here in California that said something like "If you want to live here, speak American!"
I mean, US education is in a sorry state but they really need to teach geography.

I don't think you understand what the Electoral College is. It is not a standing body.
https://www.archives.gov/federal-registe...about.html
Quote:Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate’s political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are.
Quote:After the presidential election, your governor prepares a “Certificate of Ascertainment” listing all of the candidates who ran for President in your state along with the names of their respective electors. The Certificate of Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential candidate in your state and shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the electors in December of the election year. Your states Certificates of Ascertainments are sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presidential election.
So the electoral college is made up of the various slates of "electors" who support the individual candidates. Expecting WLB supporters to vote against the WLB is unrealistic. First of all they have already demonstrated that they are as dumb as a bag of cunt hair by being WLB supporters to begin with. Why would you suddenly expect them to come to their senses. All you have to do is look at some of the trumptards we have around here to realize that these fucking people are hopeless.

Your vote didn't matter last time because of Robby Mook's fucked up analytics. He directed where the campaign money was spent and despite Hill out spending Trumply by a factor of 2, Mook's analytics still were off.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I want John Olivers as an option in that poll

Oprah would never run. She's a beloved figure, who probably just has people telling her how great she is all the time.
If she ran, half the country would hate her and people would dig up all the dirt of her past. I would be shocked out of my mind if she ran.

I'd vote for her is she promised to put something under my seat.
How about Howard Schultz?
