So I've been getting this dank road kill skunk smell every time I open the seedling/clone tent. Have 9 seedlings and some clones going in there.

Found the culprit smelling up my basement in a party cup. Blue Ripper F2/P5/BX1 seedling so looks like the road kill skunk trait has been passed on. male or female this one will be crossed on.

Do you trust the voting system to be honest and operate with integrity?
I do not trust digital voting. Anything can be hacked. Or strait up just fixed.
Let alone the electoral college bs.
Plus, its a false dual paradigm system. Democrat, republican. Two sides of the same coin. All puppets for corporations.

We need to have term limits for congress and senate at a state and federal level. Then put normal people in office (with some standard level of education or knowledge to show competence)

I think the fact that only 54% of the population voted is quite pathetic(I chose the CNN link to be neutral)

It is quite sad that so many are so lazy that they can not get out and vote.

I saw a lot of people who cared enough to get out and vote in my state's primary. I suspect that turnout was lower because people felt the system wasn't fair and so they didn't bother to participate in the general.

It's not an objective observation, but I've had more than one person tell me that was their own reason for not voting in November.

That's a closed minded outlook.
Your implication is that voting would have somehow caused a "worthwhile" candidate to manifest from thin air.
Lack of reasonable option isn't the same thing as laziness.

If everyone is so dissatisfied with the results get out into areas that did not vote to your liking and go out and do something about it. It is getting old listening to everyone complain. The fact that just over 50% of the population voted is pretty sad. If the remaining 44% voted for Ronald McDonald there could have been a different outcome. All I hear is people complaining about it. The reality is life is "third grade" and the candidate who promised two lunches, three recesses and no homework won. Additionally during the campaign process there were multiple options and once again if more people voted it could have made a difference. Instead the ones who did vote, voted for the two "candidates" that were on the 2016 presidential ballot.
Your suggestion that more people voting could NOT manifest another option is really quite ridiculous since there was a remaining 44% of the population that did not even cast a vote. The amount of apathy in our country towards the privilege of voting is quite alarming. The "lack of reasonable options" is directly correlated to our population not voting... starting with local levels all the way through the election of the executive branch.
@GroErr sorry for the rant.

This is not a valid argument.

I saw many people vote for the candidate of their choice in the primaries, only to see that choice be treated with apparent disrespect. If you don't like the nominee, do you seriously think it's a viable option to just write someone in? They have to be an eligible candidate, just for starters.

You don't know much about how voting works in America, do you?

You are 100% wrong...numbers do not lie. No one wants the job because it sucks. Get off your stoned ass and run for public office if you are so dissatisfied with the candidates. Start at the local level. Not enough people vote and you just confirmed my argument with your statement. Thank you.
Once again only 54% of the population voted. Leaving 46% of the voice unheard. Your argument is weak. If these people went out and campaigned for their candidate, maybe they could make a difference. For anyone to argue that apathy does not play a roll is down right foolish. I will confirm this one step further. All the people of New York and CT should be taking time to work in swing states to make a difference. Instead they are expecting the electoral traditions to overcome. Campaigning is hard often ungrateful work. It requires personal sacrifice. You can no longer just stay in your little bubble and "hope for the process to work". Guess what, the president Mr. Trump broke new ground with social media and now the the blue states are scrambling. I understand it takes time to groom a good candidate. If one of "your" candidates did not do well in the primaries that means they did not get enough votes. People in this country still have the "herd" mentality. Which is quite evident since 46% did not vote "just because they did not like the nominee". You @ttystikk are obviously one of those people since all you have done is complain about the situation, complain about the results and complain about the outcome. Did you leave your little area and campaign where "your" candidate was struggling? Did you and your people travel to a swing state to go door to door to explain why your candidate was better? These are things that have to be done to overcome the "bad candidates". That my friend is apathy.
