People who vote out of spite just shouldn't be allowed to vote. I don't care who you support.

There should also be an aptitude test that requires basic knowledge of how the US government works, the economy, education, foreign policy etc. in order to vote.

I figured you wouldn't want Republicans to win every election.

That's a fair point. I redact my statement then.

Requiring testing for low-income disadvantaged minorities would be quite unfair. I mean, I guess it can be seen as shitty as voter ID laws which are meant to prevent disdvantaged people from voting.

Actually Clinton is falling in the polls but Trump is stagnet. this is bad.

I've never read about an election like this. Literally no one is happy with the candidates. The RNC had some big names not even show up to the convention. Hillary and the DNC seem to be in a race on who could dig their hole the fastest.

Anyone for bringing Bill back?

If only our country didn't have a horrible 2 party political system and a 3rd party candidate stood any chance

Then we'd just vote in an idiot like Gary Johnson. We would fuck that up, too.

Gary Johnson is just a failed republican. If libertarians didnt just think he could possibly get that magic 5% from disgruntled anti-trump republicans they would run somebody else

I wouldn't say literally no one seeing how many middle working-class Americans approve of Trump in good conscience as opposed to just trying to beat the opposition.
And no, leave Bill where he is.

My dad said something similar to this one day. He said that when you're voting you would be asked if you accept evolution as a fact or if you think it's a lie. If you put down it being a lie then your vote doesn't count.

If Clinton picked Sanders as her VP would that be an automatic win for her?

No.

Do I need to elaborate?

Yes.
