    There's 1 more primary worth 20 delegates left. Given that Clinton is up in the popular vote, up in the pledged delegates, and is the party's preferred candidate anyway, there's 0% chance that Bernie could swing a win here.

    Well, it is and always was an Oligarchy.

    Rich people voting for rich people with the public there to persuade the rich people.

    It's why you have stupid things like super delegates.

    That's reason enough.
    That's reason enough to let Donald Trump become President, though? I mean yeah, he's different than the "other shit Presidents we've had in the last 20 years," but is that really the kind of "different" you want to allow to win?

    I'm a classical Liberal, I don't agree with most republican policies.

    I do however believe in liberty and freedom as the apex ideals a government should preserve.

    Hilary is the antithesis to liberal ideas.

    Naw, George McGovern is why we have super-delegates.

    Superdelegates have never selected a nominee, and if they weren't in the race this time, Clinton would still win anyway.

    Well, the worst he can be is another corporate shill who promotes the megacorps who run America.

    So yeah, he's fine.

    At least he doesn't want to censor the internet and stamp down on video games.

    I dislike her because I have yet to figure out if she is the giant douche or the turd sandwich. I can't find that info on her website. To be fair I dislike this about both parties candidates though.
    One of these days, I should probably figure out a decent signature.

    That's hardly the worst he can be. He can fuck trade with China, screw our relationship with Mexico, and initiate the rise of a massive race war in the US.

    She's likely to select a judge who would be more comfortable overturning things like DC v. Heller, and since the new justice would make a 5/4 liberal majority, they could actually do it.

    I don't think it's likely, but it's certainly possible.

    If the choice is between Trump and Clinton...well, I won't be voting. We're voting for Hillary, a terrible choice, because Trump is worse.

    I'll pass.

    But if you're a voter against Trump, deciding not to vote is the equivalent of a vote for Trump, thanks to our lovely first past the post voting system.

    As said, the worst you can get with Trump is a clown who can't do shit. The worse you can get with Clinton is another war in the middle east and another banking crisis in 10 years because her overlord herm donators told her to deregulate X and like her husband she won't grasp the full implications.

    Lol, really drunk the Hilary Koolaide here.

    Know what? Instead of saying absurdist statements about trump. Show us how Hilary will not be the most corportist facist cuntmonkey to ever grace the white house.

    The choice between Trump and Clinton is, in my mind, a choice between a shallow, thin-skinned idiot and a calculating, opportunistic, immoral crook. Neither are a good choice. If there is a last minute 3rd party candidate, they will get my vote (unless it is Sanders).

    I am a conservative/libertarian who has voted republican since George H.W. Bush (my first time voting).

    I'm against both of them. I'd rather we just elect a quarter as President, and flip a coin whenever we need a decision made. We'd probably be better off.
