But because of our first-past-the-post voting system, any number of political parties greater than two reduces the plurality by which the president wins. Meaning we could elect someone even crazier than Annoying Orange with only 29% of the vote. People realize this, and so third parties never really take off. I would have liked Sanders to win the presidency, and technically there was nothing stopping me from voting for him. And obviously I didn't lol --- End quote --- i do understand that, i did say the US should be open to the spectrum in which yeah there is a third party option. however we could elect someone better (experienced, more reliable, etc) than Annoying Orange and not that crazy guy who thinks we should establish communism lol i thought sanders was pretty okay and the free college is what sort of caught my eye before the election even happened. -who doesn't love to not be in debt when they enter college? i think this student debt thing is forgeted up when i hear it from friends who are in college- shame nobody talks of the lost candidates anymore |

I figured we would need a couple weeks to keep them out of the spotlight while we train them not to hate women and/or blacks. --- End quote --- I don't think they did that but we'd probably have to teach them to bathe so they don't smell like stuff 24/7 |

There were hundreds of people involved with the investigation, mostly old government types. One of them died during the investigation and conspiracy theorists latched onto it as Hillary killing 'witnesses' (despite the fact the person who died wasn't testifying or really doing anything crucial at all). The emails were incompetence on the part of Hillary and her team, but (I think) it pales in comparison to Annoying Orange's incompetence in basically all facets of government - except for his ability to be elected. |
