Democrats are in deep trouble - even if Hillary Clinton wins

YouTube description:

Since Obama's election, the Democratic Party has been obliterated at the state level.

They didn't want our votes this summer...they made that clear with their voter suppression. Now I say, fuck 'em. I no longer support either of the corporate parties, nor any of their candidates. That will hold true as long as they stay corporate.

iauisaid:

Shit, Democrats, you need to _vote_.

Moving this video to oritteropo's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I understand your ire. I was (and am) a big fan of Bernie's. He's a wonderful man with a rich history of working to make your country better. To see him lose in that way was truly heartbreaking.

He also understands the significance of the upcoming election now and urges you to vote because he knows that if you choose to say 'fuck 'em' to the Democrats they are not the only people who are going to get fucked.

Bernie is a good man, working in the system from the right side.

I'm not about to be guilted into voting against my conscience. I've supported Bernie for a long time, and I'd continue to do so if he were running.

It's really pretty annoying to have people try to "explain it" to me. It's absolutely clear, and I will never again vote against my conscience for the "lesser evil". That's how we got two such disgusting candidates to choose between, neither of which will do a damned thing for anyone but the rich.

Yeah! That's how you get what you want!

Get what you want by voting for someone you don't like, and represents things you don't support!

No wait, I understand... vote for the lesser of two evils.

And next cycle, when they rig the election down to two evils again, vote for the lesser one again!

And the cycle after that, and the cycle after that.

.... 50 years later ....

Well if you don't like the way the world is, why did you keep voting for it?

The politics of "GOTCHA!"

for what seems like the millionth time, the problem is not your candidates (even though they suck).

The problem is your antiquated and frankly, broken electoral process.

Get rid of utter nonsense like the electoral college, throw out FPP, and you might stand a small chance of reclaiming your democracy.

notarobotsays...

Absolutely.

The process produces shit-sandwich corrupt candidates.
