As now Clinton camps is even talking about skipping primaries to stop everyone who dares confront them..
As now as she is so inevitable...

The power of the protest vote could exist!!!

I mean not voting for the RWers of course.

But here is what some do over here in France and various countries in Europe:


(Most of EU countries vote with paper ballots so I imagine it could work only in a few counties and/or states)


Vote for a small and funny Dem Candidate ( one like Supreme and Colbert)
Write down your loved one's names.
Vote empty....

And it could maybe pressure the power circles on the fact that people are really annoyed with this already wrapped up and decided in advance rigged games.
French govt has btw just recognized the legitimiry and political express within the "blank" (empty ) vote.
Whe have even second roles parties advocacing it.

Why not USA? After all you got your independance by a fight against British Monarchy.... so why intauring your own one by picking the sames families?

PS.THIS IS SOME IRONY but agree on the fact that some people are planning to do it. Because they are EXHAUSTED with Clinton Family domination.

1. So, if Hillary wins the primary, write in a protest vote?

Say hello to President Cruz.

[arcane1]

3. Ted Cruz will never be president, no matter how much fear-mongering is done.

Never. Even most republicans won't vote for his annoying ass.

[VanillaRhapsody]

7. but Jeb Bush might....

[Sheldon Cooper]

32. Plus, he was born in Canada.

So there's that.

[leftofcool]

52. Yes but his mother is an American citizen and was so at the time of his birth so he is eligible

to run, unfortunately. I believe his mother is from Delaware.

[mylye2222]

2. A third or empty vote

Is still better spirired than a RW one.

[DonCoquixote]

40. that does nto exist

because as you know, if party a does not get the majority, party b wins. And the debacle of Nader handing this country to Bush has proven that B is always worse.

[sharp_stick]

4. Fuck That

A protest vote here does nothing but give your opponent the win. Even using the weak theory that making it so bad that eventually it will change doesn't hold enough power to allow me to welcome 4 years of some piece of shit like Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush as President.

[bravenak]

5. No.

Cannot do it. Better to just have an actual primary.

[mylye2222]

6. Of course I want a primary

But a primary with only one prominent candidate will be only a silly show...

[VanillaRhapsody]

9. what makes you think no one will run against her?

there will be a primary....she is just running approval ratings heads and shoulders ahead of the entire pack...including all Republicans....

[bravenak]

10. We can make it work.

Frontrunners lose races all the time in this Nation. And we love Presidential primaries a whole lot.
I wouldn't waste my vote on a protest.

[Jackpine Radical]

51. I side with you.

[FSogol]

8. Unrec. Not voting or wasting your vote is the worst thing you can do.

It is hard to take someone serious who advocates wasting a vote, yet comes here daily to pontificate on all things political.

Some might call that trolling.

[VanillaRhapsody]

11. Yes some might!

[mylye2222]

14. Hey . you dont like any opposition to your

" dont care about democratic process" previous statements isnt it?

[FSogol]

15. No idea what you are trying to say here.

[mylye2222]

16. Two days ago. .

The poster implied that , as now Hillary is already the only viable nominee.. we dont need primary.

In this thread.

[FSogol]

19. You think that poster has the power to cancel the primary?

[mylye2222]

23. No she doesnt have the power.

But we dont know what the Clintonverse is planning. .
And the poster nevertheless called for it.

[FSogol]

30. We should cancel the primary because HRC wants to win? Flabbergasted here.

You must have gotten into some good stuff.

[Sheldon Cooper]

34. You think the "Clintonverse" can actually cancel a primary?

Whoa.

[VanillaRhapsody]

18. uh wut?? I have NEVER said anything the sort...that is utter Bullshit and VERY Republican like....

[mylye2222]

20. Here.

[VanillaRhapsody]

22. what the hell is that?

[mylye2222]

26. Yes and beliw there are YOUR responses....

[FSogol]

25. Um, that link shows you claiming there won't be a primary, not VanillaR.

[FSogol]

21. VanillaRhapsody, Why have you forsaken us?

[VanillaRhapsody]

24. I have not....this poster seems to be losing it....

[FSogol]

27. Her link shows her saying what she accusing you of saying.

[VanillaRhapsody]

29. It does????

OMG....you are right....IT DOES!!!!!

wow!!

[mylye2222]

31. This OP was SARCASTIC!!!

But exposing TRUE FACTS.
YES everything is loked in favir if Hillary.
And yes no one among other Dems seems to dare to opose her.
And yes everything seems decided befire it has vegun dye to ALl MEDIA AND DEM POWER CIRCLES ALL PREMATURELY CROWNING HER.

[VanillaRhapsody]

33. hahahahahahaha right.....

please proceed Mr or Mrs Mylye2222!

[mylye2222]

36. Hahaha lolololololol.

Go away from my POW ...says the one who enjoys poluting almost every thread I post...

Proceed? Why ? Are you trying to purge me?
Btw I am a Mrs.

[VanillaRhapsody]

38. what???

I have no idea what you are saying half the time...

[FSogol]

35. Rainbow, triumph, colander, exercise, yardstick, porcupine, omega!

[VanillaRhapsody]

39. ^^^^

perceptive....and clever!

[greatauntoftriplets]

47. Malarkey!

[mylye2222]

12. Not trolling sorry..

Only trying to help some real good non corporate prone DUers who are appalled by the upcoming families and popularity contest that will be called 2016 presidency.

[FSogol]

17. You think advocating not voting somehow helps? It only helps the GOP.

[VanillaRhapsody]

28. this Poster must have missed the fact that only 26% of voters voted this past election

what was the result of fewer voters? More Republicans....its like Bill Clinton says..."arithmetic".

[Rex]

13. Seriously, I think a lot of people talk a tough game...but will sneak into the voting booth

and vote for Dems anyway. They might not admit it. I'm beginning to think voting by mail is a good idea across the board.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

37. I still think that "None of Above" would result in a majority.

[DonCoquixote]

42. and sadly

that majority is the GOP, because when Dems sit out, GOP becomes the majority.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

43. So, it's the Dems job to convince them to not sit it out.

Hint: "Not as bad", "More of the same", and "Politics as Usual", are piss poor ways of accomplishing that.

[DonCoquixote]

45. and you think the dems can do it alone?

when Billions of dollars are in the media? Please. You talk as if all the demscorats have to do is be nice people, speak the right things and the world will bow to them, no, because the media is owned by rich people, of rich people, for rich people, and it will take years to get the monetum back the other way, with painful, slow, tedious work to undo what was burnt down!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

48. How do you intend doing that? Not as bad isn't working.

[DonCoquixote]

50. by doing what the gop did

focus on LOCAL elections, grow them from the shcool boards and mayors on, and no that those little local seeds need to keep the gop out of the main control room to keep them alive. It is better than just sitting at home, making the GOP so happy they are already sending Nader money to run again.

[SidDithers]

41. So let me get this straight...

If Hillary is the Democratic nominee, you're recommending that voters cast their ballot for someone other than the Democratic nominee.

And you're recommending this at Democratic Underground.

Have I got that right?

Sid

[pnwmom]

44. She can't skip the primaries if she wants the nomination. And she can't stop anyone else

from running.

Where are you getting this?

[fredamae]

46. Where did this

idea/plan/rumor come from?

"As now Clinton camps is even talking about skipping primaries to stop everyone who dares confront them..
As now as she is so inevitable..."

[moriah]

49. Please post sources for your claims.

Talking about skipping primaries?

Please provide a link.

------

And if she does get the nomination, don't be expecting to post your stupid "Write in a loved one" bullshit here. After a nominee is chosen, it's "Rally Around the Nominee" time. Go be the equivalent of a PUMA somewhere else, at that time, IF she wins.

Which she may not, at which time all of the kerfluffle over her will be just as pointless as it was in 2008.

[bigwillq]

53. I live in CT

Based on recent trends, the DEM candidate will win my state. So, if Hillary is the DEM nominee, I will not vote for her. I hope there's another progressive option on the ballot, and that's who I will vote for.

I will likely vote for any other DEM candidate besides Hillary. I just don't like her, and won't vote for her.

[KamaAina]

54. Also, France has multiple rounds of voting

Might not work here.

[Blue_Tires]

55. Who's talking about skipping primaries?

or is HRC planning to run as an independent?

[Quackers]

56. If Clinton is the nominee

I honestly don't know what I'll do. I'm still upset about her and her bestie Henry Kissinger. Remember when Hillary said, "I relied on his counsel when I served as secretary of state."

Really? You relied on the counsel of that guy? Go home Hillary, you're drunk.
