The election was rigged in favor of Clinton
The DNC colluding with the media is rigging the election
I appreciate your honesty
So what happens down the line if we have an opposite situation taking place? Where a republican candidate is poised to take the nomination because special interests decided a republican would be better for business? Won't republicans be able to use the exact same justification then? That they think the democratic candidate is too crazy to lead the country, even if they win legitimately? That even if they have to cheat to win, that's what's best for the country? Does it not make you feel really uncomfortable that your political enemies could potentially be in charge of electing the president, regardless of your vote, and you would have no valid recourse since you approve of it now, when it's a democrat who's most likely to be elected?
OK, I have eaten dinner and am at a full keyboard. Fucking tablet uses this predictive writing thing that is 100% batshit so I had to turn it off. Now I have to actually hit the right keys so it kinda sucks.
Anyway, again, you have some perspectives that I don't share. "no valid recourse since you approve of it now"? Uh, no. I do not approve of it. But it was also not a surprise and nothing new.
Well, actually, there is one thing new about it. The leak comes from a very obvious email hack that I believe was done by a foreign power. Another "international actor" then used the leak to further his political aims. So when you talk about a foreign power influencing our elections it seems to me that you miss the obvious. Was the RNC hacked? Was it just as bad insofar as favoring one candidate over the others? We won't know. I for one think that overblowing the impact of the little gnomes at the DNC favoring Hillary is exactly what the hackers want. Fuck the party. People vote on the candidates. Hillary won - even though it sucks.
I keep reading that last paragraph and I just don't get it. There is no place in my logic that justifies cheating against a bad candidate. If the Republican's had thrown a dart they would have had a 75% chance of beating her. But they didn't. They voted in and are currently supporting a candidate that is 100% unsuited for the job. So I am going to do what I can to see that he does not get elected. I am not going to use my vote to "punish" Hillary for being herself and end up with a total sociopath that ruins our government and impoverishes the country. Maybe that means I will lack the ideological purity that you seem to think you have. I can live with that.
I am still shocked that anybody
ever thought the DNC was being unbiased - so why should I allow the candidate whose foreign allies broke the law and violated the nation's political process to gain from it.
