the big ironic thing is that if Trump were the democratic nom, most democrats would vote for him because the republican candidate would probably be so much more evil and everyone would be all "loving Hillary Bros let it go".

I'll be perfectly honest, in bizarro world where Trump was running on his positions circa 2006-8 or so and wasn't openly racist, I'd probably stay home. He was an rear end in a top hat before he scammed Republicans into voting for a fascist.

Edit: In the same way that if some business wing Democrat like Rahm or Bloomberg was picked, gently caress that guy, I'd rather let the Republicans trash the country for four years than let the Democrats tack right.

I mean, so don't? Everyone has a point where they refuse to follow the party, if they have any party identification at all. I won't vote for Rahm, you won't vote for Hillary.

I just think neither of us could claim moral high ground in the ensuing poo poo show the Republican Party would wrought.

There is a tendency to assume all Sanders supporters are white dudes, pointing out that women and persons of color are in that camp as well is occasionally helpful.

At the risk of sounding like a crazy tinfoil hat bearer, remember Hillary did somehow greatly exceed expectations only in states which use of two of the three companies that make and support e-voting machines. Those two companies, Dominion Voting and H.I.G. Capital (Hart Intercivic), are Clinton Foundation big-money donors. I would venture to guess, she has plans concerning those untraceable e-voting machines owned by her donor buddies in the general election as well.

she heavily exceeded California polls (which didn't include an exit poll, and there's literally no explanation) that had her and Sanders neck& neck as far back as 2 weeks before the actual vote (strange, since she had literally 0 momentum, not even a recent debate or headline).
But if you want an even more tinfoil-hat theory. I truly believe HRC and the DNC are fine with having Trump elected. They're playing the narrative up so strongly but their actions show a complete lack of care for public interest (in actuality, not just the bullshit they spew), and we already know the Clintons and Trump were friends before he decided to run.
Maybe the DWS-less DNC will run a bit more democratic, and perhaps they see the writing on the wall and fight with us, the people rather than to maintain their lovely organization. But at this point, I'm really banking on us making a noise in third (and who knows, maybe even fourth) party politics and crossing my fingers that Bernie backs off his endorsement and either gives it to Jill or runs on his own.

Yes, you will find members of all groups in all political factions. There are black people who like Trump, and he's polling nearer 0% than any candidate ever.

I will preface this with saying that I am a stagehand and work lots of large corporate events and concerts so I seem to always be looking for and noticing different things.

Looking at the 360 degree live stream on YouTube, it look like there are 360 degree camera on top of every state delete sign in the audience. But some of what I can see might also be Robo-Cams.

And if anyone saw the 360 degree stream from the RNC, the camera they used was a Nokia OZO. With a sticker price of $60,000!

I don't think that's necessarily true. It's just important to always be ready to admit that "this thing is good, in context, but if I had a better option, I would pick that."

Absolutist morality that ignores the reality of the world we live in is silly, because it results in no change. I would rather have small and slow change than nothing, even if it means compromising ideology. I also believe, however, that we must have lines we shall not cross.

Sure starting to feel that way. I don't give a poo poo about what people want say to scare me in to voting for Hillary, my life has been lovely up to this point and it's 100% due to my societal and economic location. I have been born and raised below the poverty line and quite frankly I would rather watch the whole county fall then continue to be a part of this poo poo show.
