It's not true in a swing state either. A vote for Stein isn't a vote for Trump no matter where you are, it's a vote for Stein. Don't listen to the people supporting the major candidates who love claiming "false equivalency" at inappropriate times when they peddle an actual false equivalency like "a vote for (insert non-major party candidate here) is a vote for (insert unfavorably viewed major party candidate here). It's a bullsh!t argument and they know it.

I disagree. It was valid when Perot took enough votes to get Clinton elected over Bush Sr. It was valid when Nader took enough votes to get Bush Jr. elected over Gore.

Bullshit. It means that first the Republicans and then the Democrats nominated a lackluster candidate that no one really wanted. It's the same old bullshit: I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you. If the Dems or Pubbies lose an election due to third party votes, then they should nominate better candidates and make more compelling arguments for them.

It's also funny to see you guys on the left derisively refer to W as Bush Jr. He isn't a junior. Know who is? Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.

Meh. I don't want a theocracy, but if I have to have one I'd much prefer Christianity to the cult of Hillary.

If he does win do you think that national interest in men's hair transplants will rise?

Calling the second Bush president Bush Jr. isn't derisive. It denotes which Bush president is being spoken of. Just because it is technically the incorrect form because his name is slightly different than Bush I doesn't make it derisive.

But never mind that.

You repeatedly say Hildabeast. By using the word "beast" at the end of "Hilda", which isn't even her name, you're using a term that implies that she is not a human.

Keep on keepin' on, champ.

Totally Like this post. A vote for a 3rd party candidate is a vote for Trump (since you're probably liberal and would've voted clinton anyway).

Let me recap.

Stein and the other guy are, at what, 2% or 3% according to polls. ZERO chance for...WHATEVER.
Trump, Hillary are basically tied right now, and looking at early absentee votes it may well be a VERY tight race.
So your vote for Stein will absolutely and 100% be a vote which could have gone elsewhere and it will 100% and absolutely be a vote that could be needed in a tight race.

Don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely love the US having a viable multi-party system with coalitions and whatever, but it DOESN'T. There are two candidates where one of them will be president. There is no other viable option for a 3rd or a 4th candidate which in any way would be relevant. This is sad and unfortunate, but it's true. From that PoV I feel it's justified to say you're wasting your vote, and the vote that doesn't go to H is the vote that will benefit Trump.

Then don't pretend that you actually want to vote 3rd party. If in the end what decides your vote is negative partisanship then you were never serious about actually voting 3rd party to begin with. You're like the folks who claim to be "independents" yet vote for the same party every single time.

what happened? not riding Nate Silver's John Thomas like you were during the NBA playoffs? Like you were through the NFL season? Like you were in every other situation where you hold up his numbers as profound and unadulterated truth and he doesn't cuck you back into your safe space?

You're getting sloppy, Sp33dy. Cernovich not feeding you his motherbrain master talking points fast enough for you to spit them out?

At least OrroOAROroRORORO stays... "on message"

I think the article should be revised with the Don visiting Amsterdam which would seem to be in keeping with his alleged exploits. He could say its a diplomatic mission to feel out the locals.

I do know, however, that, win or lose, history will be unkind to Republican Donald Trump.

The inevitable tell-all memoirs from those inside his campaign will reveal that he is even more thin-skinned, even more ignorant of current events and public policy, even more vain and even more of a bigot and cynical con man than we now know.

Investigative reporters and biographers will underscore the obvious — that he was the most erratic, ill-prepared, impulsive, shallow and therefore dangerous person ever to be a major-party presidential nominee.

History will show that his promises were all bluff and bluster. History will show that he had notions, not plans, and that they ran the gamut from far-fetched to preposterous.

If Hillary wins, I fully expect the announcement about reporting to your nearest church for the ground breaking of a new Mosque.
