Yup it is. This is why the 2 party system always wins bc morons like yourself dont even bother to listen to others explaining their platforms but wait for soundclips.
The two party system wins because first past the post single member district elections make anything more than two parties impractical.

Think about it like this. If there were 4 parties and the electorate split 4 ways that's 25% in each direction. If somebody gets 26% of the vote they win and 74% of the population didn't vote for that person but they get to govern. The next election the 74% that supported losers will see many abandon their party and gather around a party that's somewhat closer to them ideologically even if there are differences because they'd rather see some of their ideology enacted then none of it. That continues to happen until there are two parties left. The country gets split about 50-50 and when someone gets slightly more than 50% of the vote they win.

Also the electoral college doesn't support more than 2 parties. With 3 or more parties it will be very difficult for any single candidate to get to 270.

In other words a complete overhaul of how our elections are ran from top to bottom is required to break away from the two party system. It won't happen. If a third party rises it will be to replace one of the two major parties because it died. Our system can't support 3 or more parties.

Jill stien dropped the straight truth on the war hawk known as HRC.

it's a scary that a Harvard educated Doctor said stha HRC wants Nuclear war on national TV. You would think such craziness is reserved for Alex Jones and his survivalist followers.

Maybe it's not crazy anymore. If someone of Jill Stien's education and intelligence says something like this, it's time to pay attention.

:what:

You just posted some bullshyt saying a person who worked for the Clinton foundation emailed the show.

There's no context at all.
Does the person still work for the foundation?
What was the nature of the email?
What was discussed?

If you're gonna claim there's some sort of collusion here you need more.

This shyt basic. :beli:
yup it could have been something as simple as them emailing to bytch about coverage they didn't like. but it's best to not reveal the actual email and "suggest" what it might have been about.

Jill Stein's core platform is her Green New Deal that aims to get America off fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy by 2030 and create millions of jobs in the process.

Cancelling the student debt is a out of left field idea... BUT, the Federal Reserve COULD do it. The Fed could very easily do a debt swap in the same vein as Quantitative Easing. It wouldn't be quantitative easing per se, but the process would be very similar. As far as the president having authority goes, the bulk of the debt is held by the Department of Education, who could be required by executive order to stop collections on the debt, meaning it is basically forgiven and no one owes payment. The political fight would then come over how to deal with what remains, it could be added to the national debt or bought by the Federal Reserve.

Oliver is a complete fraud pretending to be sincerely interested in the issues he discusses. Totally bias and a straight up liar. Hes the white version of that lame South African dude.

I like John Oliver and thought the segment was fine but he's obviously playing for Hillary even though he called her corrupt.

This was probably the least in-depth he's gone on something and a guy with his platform should do better. Jill being painted as this cooky conspiracy baiter has worked well for the Dems to curb her rising in the polls (because they couldn't run with her being sexist). But her plans shouldn't be dismissed and her acceleration towards green energy is something to look into if we don't want shyt to hit the fan in 50 years. She's probably not the best the left has to offer but she's not what the segment portrays her as.

I agree with Gary Johnson being awful though.

Because he's not Hillary and apparently that is a huge issue in this Presidential Election

Immigration
National Security
Debt
Education
Not Hillary
Climate Change

Those are the issues of this Presidential election :laugh:

Polls show Hillary Clinton is not doing so well with potential voters on the "Not Hillary" topic :yeshrug:
lets just ignore the fact that 95 percent of her campaign is 'im not trump' :dead:

thats why it doesnt hurt to vote for him, its a symbolic fukk you to the 2 party system and he has no chance of winning. he could be helen keller personally, it only matters what it stands for. and no, i dont buy into liberal fearmongering about 'its a vote for trump'. no the fukk it is not :heh:

im not gonna go and vote for whillary because she 'isnt trump'. i dont operate that way :scusthov: these cocksuckers have to present someone i would actively vote for, not vote for because they arent the other side. and this election...aint it :scusthov:

We should ignore it because it's not a fact but enjoy your Hillary bashing

This is what people mean when we say that the Hillary hate is so irrational you're forcing it and that's why your legit qualms get drowned out.
