Turd Summit:

UKIP's Nigel Farage to speak at Donald Trump rally

Now, since Farage succeeded, hopefully this will prompt some couch potatoes to get the fuck up and vote for HRC in November.

i have read that site for years, trust me their data analysis is shallow at best. its not that Overlord Hillary isn't dominating, its that 538 isn't very good at projections or interpreting data

I have a math and statistics minor, and I disagree.

I live in Canton Ohio. You are completely wrong in assuming the entire state will go to Hillary. I'm sure walking down High Street will give you one impression, but come up here for a few days and you'll get a very different impression.

BTW, Portman is kicking Strickland's ass in polls.

Yes! Because, obviously, you don't want the MORE evil person to win. Very, very simple math.

I'm going to do it anyway. Fuck your conscience. Let's say you're a Jill Stein supporter. You "vote your conscience." Trump wins the election. But hey, you're precious conscience is clean! Please claim your non-existent prize nowhere, you naive, romantic, selfish fuck.

that is your natural right to be critical but it doesn't mean it will be an effective tactic neither a necessarily ethical one.

also insulting people who have a political disagreement with you is probably not very likely way to convince them to support your candidate. also call me old fashioned but if you believe in elections to begin with i imagine the one being naive and romantic is only yourself ;)

you win the internet today. i'd rep the shit out of you but i can only do it once

it's as if 8 years of Bush-Cheney had never happened for some people

For fuck's sakes here's a reminder of what got started there

-my pet goat
-wmds
-valerie plame
-gog & magog (!!!)
-mission accomplished
-abu ghraib
-brownie is doing a heckuva job
-the great recession
etc etc

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics...ey-war-crimes/

i say "got started" because history doesn't end and the past is still here

more. for fuck's sakes. take note of the extensive list of domestic policy clusterfucks:

http://www.commondreams.org/views/20...ncies-and-lies

and compared to trump... those fuckers look reasonable!

im not surprised, if i recall you were in the Blame Nader camp for Gore's loss.

again democracy is about respecting people's vote. if y'all want people to respect your choice its imperative that you respect theirs. respect doesn't imply liking it but it definitely means not casting insults

ilduclo 08.25.2016 03:14 PM

reps fer evilove and !@#$%!

evollove 08.25.2016 03:18 PM

Such, you live in Cali. Vote for Palin or Lee Renaldo or Hitler's ghost. It doesn't matter. In some states, such as mine, it does.
