2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)What gives with all the green party shit? [View all]
As my post count tells I am pretty new here. So can someone please explain to me why there are so many threads about a candidate who is going to get less than 2% of the national vote and whose voters will never vote for Hillary anyway?
Is it Bernie or Busters trying to find a way to come here and stir shit? Or Hillary fans trying to rub their faces into it? Perhaps there are more people than I realize concerned about the effect the greens will have. Or is it folks who have been here a long time fighting battles I can not understand?
I mean, they do not really bother me, but if I wanted to talk about leftist wingnuts I would go to other sites.
Have a nice evening.

I don't get the panic here either or having to curse someone so ineffectual who will get few votes

I haven't read any BOBers here. I think emotions override common sense sometimes.

Ralph Nader tossed the election to Bush with only 2.74% of the national popular vote.

Who said anything about taking away anyone's right to vote? If I don't like an anti-Democrat

Yup. Since Bernie asked his supporters to back Hillary, they've become unhinged.

She is the opposition. Expect many threads and much criticism against third party spoilers here. nt

There seems to be a lot of people arguing that we must remain a two-party nation.
