no way in hell I'm voting for either Macron or Le Pen, lesser evil or not.
The problem is that you may end up with the Greater of Two Evils. I agree with you, skacky, and I threw my vote away this last election, because I thought there was no way that the Lesser of Two Evils would lose. Turns out I was wrong, and I will never waste my vote again. I just hope someday I will get to vote for someone I can actually believe in, but until that time, I will take the Lesser of Two Evils, 'cause lesser is better than greater.

Hillary and Trump won their positions. Yes. It's true. Sanders would've had a better chance of winning the primaries were the DNC to support him as fully as Hillary, and the fact he came so close to clinching it without their support should've been a massive wake up call for the party. But the fact remains, he lost. The people voted for Hillary, and Trump won with a plurality. They were our two choices.
Complaining that the better candidate should've won, then abstaining to vote as a form of protest (or in your case, voting for Johnson, which wouldn't have been all that bad to end up with) when one candidate you're stuck with is objectively worse than the other that's been foisted upon you serves no purpose other than to give you an ultimately empty, fleeting burst of superiority. It's a self defeating black and white morality applied to a situation that requires you to think on a gradient. As nice as it'd be to always do what you believe is the right thing, sometimes you have to settle on doing something you don't like to prevent a worse scenario from happening. Welcome to the world.
If the Bernie Bros. wanted to bust, they got their wish, and their little political revolution has been stalled for at least 4 years. If they voted Trump as an act of revenge against the DNC snubbing their favored candidates, they've only managed to fuck themselves over in the end. What have they achieved, other than telling themselves they did the right thing after they find they're no longer able to afford their insurance, and are being crushed under an overwhelming amount of education debt? Yeah, guy. Stand tall. You did yourself proud. Welcome to poverty with a bachelors degree, by the way. Hope you don't break a bone bagging those groceries. It costs about $4000 to get it set without coverage.

Wow, really? Thanks for your input, who did you vote for? Did you support your own country, or did you run away?

GREAT! NOW I'M DEPRESSED! I'M GONNA GET DRUNK AND PLAY SOME VIDEOGAMES!
FUCK ALL YALL! :mad:
...and yes, I realize that, as a moderator, I should probably do my duty, and move all of JK's stuff into the Trump Dump where it's more topically appropriate. But I'm gonna get drunk. Can't do it right now.
