.....MY "ONLY" choice isn't Hillary or Trump..... it's who the fuck I want it to be. Could I ask you to support Trump, who doesn't support immigration? Likewise, how can you demand that I support Hillary when she believes fracking isn't a problem, or when she won't rule out the death penalty, or when she voted for the biggest military blunder - the Iraq war - in history, or when she takes money from the likes of pharmaceutical, oil, and financial corporations?

It's you who's being a petulant child.....or even worse.....short sighted.

Trump or Clinton....the same fucking thing, friend. We'll see more environmental kicking the can down the road, and likely more war. No thanks.

2. STOP "gaslighting" Bernie supporters

"Gaslighting" is a traditional tactic of abusers and manipulators: its Team Shillary's favorite new form of dishonesty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of mental abuse in which a victim is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception and sanity.[1][2] Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

Now, I do agree that we shouldn't disrespect anyone's decision to support whomever they want, so I won't call you a shill. But, don't claim that I'm somehow electing Trump by supporting Sanders, when I'm faced with two shitty choices.

...that the democratic party leadership has been committing its significant resources promoting and supporting Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. So, the primary really can't be called "fair" unless you include cronyism in your definition of "fair". The unfairness could easily go beyond that into "corruption", but that is always much harder to prove. However, being hard-to-prove does not equate with could-not-have-happened or insane.

For as long as he wants.

It appears to be you how posts nearly everyday about how unfair it is that Bernie is still campaigning or that his supporters make you unhappy.

I salute your commitment to whining on behalf of HRC.

17. Except that the US elections have real issues
Sun May 22, 2016, 11:55 AM
May 2016

it is not just for Mexico anymore, for example. And the issues are recognizable a stellar unit away, nor did they start this year.

And they are bad enough that this voter has concluded do not ask me who I vote for, but who the central tabulator decided I vote for. And if you think I am rare in this way of thinking you are wrong. It is to the point that local activist have concluded turnout not only has to be high to get a candidate in, any candidate not favored, but to overcome the shenanigan factor.

And this includes other members of the press as well, and we pay way too much attention to this shit. When you have the Registrar deny a 1 percent audit from activists, you know something is up.

You keep telling people you are insane, I will be blunt, it is insane to deny the issues or that elections can and are manipulated regularly. What you forgot 2000, what about 2004? What happened this spring is a preview of coming attractions. You might never wake up, I realize that. But it is happening and if Trump does not win it fair and square to use your shifty language, I will just laughs at you people, Because at this point that is all there there is left.

You either care about election integrity or you don't. It is like pregnant, you cannot be half pregnant. And I frankly do not think you care about election integrity, the totality of it. And that is what is nuts.

I agree.

For the record Oregon is a model for the nation... as far as integrity is concerned.

Also for the record, SOS offices should be non partisan civil service. It would take some of the temptation away. And in a perfect world PARTIES maintain party rolls, not the state.

it reaffirms my belief that Clinton supporters don't believe in democracy at all.

Lots of votes still yet to be cast... and I should note, Sanders has won 12 of the last 14 states, so all the momentum is with him.

....if being a petulant child means you'd rather not see likely more war, more fossil fuel - dominated infrastructure, and no action on meaningful healthcare reform.

Sounds like you're the one who's given up.

Hillary or Trump? Same coin but different sides. I'm ready for real change.
