Shit is happening

[Kosheh]

thanks guys.
Though reddit seems more like their answer is "I just want to watch the world burn"

I should probably throw this out there but is anyone on VGR who would/actually vote for Trump?

Another question worth asking is "Would you vote for Trump if doing so meant voting against Hillary?".

touché. 
it seems like we're doomed no matter what lmao

though that scenario, really is like if you're on fire and you've got the option to douse yourself with either one of two containers:

• a barrel of extracted waste from a septic tank
  
• a barrel of lead-tainted water
  

and you're opting for the waste barrel because you read that drinking lead-tainted water will kill you

My sister brought this up a few weeks ago.
Voting is no longer really about who is actually best for the job, or worthy of it, but who is the lesser of two evils, or does the less damage.

I'm not sure I'd vote for either, assuming I even could be bothered to register. Right now... well, I don't even see a reason to when all these guys are either corrupt, racist/elitist, are tyrants, or even have some serious scandal. (a scandal/controversy that isn't simply the typical mud-slinging commonly, and excessively, practiced in politics.)

You...might wanna read up on how the primaries work. I'll explain it in a bit.

EDIT: whew OK I'm back. If your sister's voting for Democrats...well, here's what going on over there:



This looks like Hillary Clinton's in the lead by a huge margin, right? Right. Because she has the big blue bar.
They're actually pretty equal at the moment. The cyan bar is what matters. That blue bar is the amount of superdelegates (elected officials and party elders who each count toward the magic number of 2,383) she has, which means very little. The "pledged delegates" are those awarded proportionally by congressional districts from primary and caucus results - and the superdelegates can switch over, and those usually depend on the popular vote. As in, if Bernie magically wins the polls in other states (or a coin toss, by how things are going, jesus) that blue bar will grow on his side and slowly disappear from Hillary's side.

So uh yeah we actually do influence the polls - especially so during the primaries, because it's gonna result in who's going to be president. The Republican nominations though are kind of a lost cause at this point though lol.
