Well the way it works actually is we spend millions upon millions of dollars to count everyone's vote in every state THEN, what we do is we disregard those votes entirely, that's the popular vote, the vote of the people, we literally do not count that at all towards who the next president will be. INSTEAD we rely on the electoral college to elect the next president. Electoral College (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I fully believe that if 100% of the people who can vote did vote and they all voted for Bernie that we'd still end up with either Hillary or trump as president.

The lesser of two evils is usually the best way to go, until you realize it's just a slow creeping death. People learn to cope with slow shytty change and they don't realize it's happening, force it to happen all at once and people notice.
wait

wtf so all those votes collected just don't count? all the money in the :bushesmayne:

what kind of a system is this :cubewtfmayne:

what happened to all that freedom and liberty shyt :smugcacmayne:[/QUOTE]
uh yeah that's basically how it works. It's happened before where the PEOPLE elected one guy and the electoral college elects another.

Guess who became president.

Consider for a moment that the founding fathers of this country literally in put our declaration of independence that, "all men are created equal", and yet continued on with slavery. The USA is founded on hypocrisy and illusion.

Welcome to politics. What you said is like saying you've taken a shyt for too many years so now you refuse to. Then your colon blows up.

Lesser of 2 evils will always exist for the non-elite class. None of us have a choice, and it will never change. Trump winning would be catastrophic, there's literally no other choice but to vote against him unless you're a white racist.
I don't think taking a shyt is evil...but i sorta see what you're saying. I disagree with the sentiment though.

WHY does there have to be a shyt choice in the first place.
Breh, 25% of those who vote actually DO vote. We have shytty choices because we allow it. As much as the government is corrupt, ultimately we can influence how it is run, and if we can't it's time to start the fuk over, it's literally there in our constitution.

That being said, because people who share a similar mindset as you I'm voting for the guy who is most likely to wake people up, be it through sheer craziness and offensiveness. If THAT is what it takes for people to finally wake the fuk up then so be it.

George Carlin said it best:

"Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. But where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky; they don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents, and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, and American businesses and American universities. And they’re elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do, folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces. Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders. [...] So maybe it’s not the politicians who suck; maybe something else sucks around here. Like ... the public!"

Every day, ordinary Americans voted for the front runners of these two parties. If people wonder how corrupt, dishonest a$$holes got in such high positions of authority, they need to take a good long look in the mirror.
