How Important Is Voting This Presidential Election?

[Prince.Skeletor]

Last night every Democratic candidate except for Bernie said fukk the people.
In a world where everyone screamed Trump won the electoral but hillary won the popular vote, this same party last night said whoever has the most delegates should win the nomination.

So then why even have an election?

Everyone screams Facebook and Russians are trying to undermine our democracy, ummmm well yesterday showed us that is democrats too!

If whoever wins with the most delegates is the winner then why should non-delegates even participate?
Why should regular people even do anything?

NBC's upload cut that part out afterwards by the way.

None of them believe in democracy, so why participate then?
Serious thread, no shade, no partisanship, let's just be real about this.
I'm not making this thread in anger but in confusion.

Corruption always gets worse, we know this.
So if democrats are like this today, imagine what type of elections our kids will live through?

How can we so "You Suck and are stupid if you don't vote" when our vote may not even do anything???

Hey no tangibles, no vote... I stand by that sentiment of advocating and pushing a black agenda...

Aipac doesn't mobilize jewish support for candidates if they not gonna give them tangibles...

At the end of the day these people are all corrupt and have self serving interests that they want to be president...And I cannot morally vote for the lesser of any evil... Black folks should just focus on local politics and sit this national election out en masse....

@ORDER_66 do we know the average race of delegates?
Are they mostly white?

Edit: was 50 to 60% white in 2016

Hey no tangibles, no vote...

What (if anything) short of reparations counts as "tangibles"?

IDK it depends on the state I guess... I remember that video of the EC voters and MOST of them was white...

Well start by making these laws equitable to us such as reigning in these fukking bullshyt ass cops... Stop with the hair and name discrimination and in cities like detroit I was watching a video earlier where the mostly black citizens had their houses illegally repossessed to make room for the rich white people...I mean there's a multitude of things... Especially the cops on a state and federal level these politicians can do to reign them in fukk a union... also change the laws where black citizens get harassed and locked up for bullshyt... It's a start also start putting laws on the books leading to reparations in getting these corporations that benefited from slavery to pay up...

that was in hindsight

dems have zero credibility on eliminating the electoral college, as long as this is how they nominate the nominee every election

Not important at all. Just let Trump get more Supreme Court picks, let Mitch confirm hundreds of conservative judges to lifelong appointments, let them gut social security, Medicaid etc., not important at all

Can you vote OP?

When Bernie Sanders signed up to be a democratic nominee he did so know that a candidate needs the majority of delegates to become the nominee.

 

[ORDER_66]

Can you vote OP?

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Can you vote OP?

Yes, & i donate

 

[Pressure]

Yes, & i donate

Then you're aware that plurality doesn't determine the president.

These are good points.
But... im not sure its enough.
I care more of the removal of corruption & ending the wars.
Everyone but bernie & tulsi will continue that shyt.
Judges are the biggest argument i guess
