You'll find I said "third-party believers", not voters.
Vince wrote:I'm talking about the party system. I was stated here that the parties don't care if you don't vote as long as they still win. Not entirely true. Along with being a political apparatus, the parties are also a business. If you don't think so, make a donation to someone in a primary and watch what happens to your inbox after the primary is over. They are very interested in getting people involved in the system and voting (and donating).
Except that even if you object and opt out, the lunacy of the party system still spills all over your life because these are the people competing for power over us. So if you're a slave for participating, and a slave and also mocked for discarding your useless voting 'privileges', it looks like you're a slave either way.

I got nothing against third-party believers, either. Far less so than absurdly dedicated main-two-party voters.

The great 2016 WTF continues.
"Hillary Clinton said last night, at a big fundraiser in New York City, that, uh, the American people, the millions of Americans that are supporting my running mate, were described in the most deplorable of terms. It's extraordinary to think of it. She referred to those people as irredeemable."
That's a bit strong. Dumber than a post, blinder than a bat, more gullible than Ned Flanders, and more shortsighted than a desperate john fucking a syphilitic hooker with pubic lice, perhaps.
Pence paused for effect, tucking his tongue inside his cheek. "Well, I will tell you right now — I campaign on a regular basis with Donald Trump," he said. "I campaign all across this country for Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton's low opinion of the people that support this campaign should be denounced in the strongest possible. The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trump's campaign are hard-working Americans. Farmers. Coal miners. Teachers. Veterans. Members of our law enforcement community. Members of every class of this country who know that we can make America great again.
Idiocy is universal and respects no demographic. Duly noted.
So let me just say, from the bottom of my heart — they are not a basket of anything.
The bottom of your heart? Good god. Maybe from the bottom of your polling numbers.
They are Americans and they deserve your respect."
No. Those two don't follow at all. They're voting for one of the two major parties. For that reason alone, they do not.

But I'm a slave that's aware.

How's that working out for you, being aware you're screwed?

Someone elsewhere had a DNC person on video saying people shouldn't look at the leaks because they contained malware.
They really do think we are all literally retarded, you know.

I've heard that if you look at these leaked emails, you're a rapist.

60% chance of winning, not 60% of vote. The election is much closer than Mondale #s.
