Want to Stop Hillary? Here's a Place where You Can Donate [View all] MineralMan Jun 2014 OP

Cause then you'll be funding someone worse? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #1

The problem is this: election math is pure binary. riqster Jun 2014 #2

It will stay that way as long as you can convince enough people Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #8

Convince, schmonvince. It's an observable, verifiable fact. riqster Jun 2014 #16

Came pretty damn close with Perot. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #19

Spoiler, perhaps. But it didn't alter the math. riqster Jun 2014 #24

Yup, math is math. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #26

Might, maybe, etc. etc. hasn't happened. riqster Jun 2014 #28

Sounds like some Greenwald crap, but we don't advocate for "3rd parties" at "Democratic" Underground Tarheel_Dem Jun 2014 #63

Yes, I did rather suspect I was Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #70

Nope, not my motivation. riqster Jun 2014 #79

Don't let them change your mind. The only way to choose the best candidate is to A Simple Game Jun 2014 #97

Perhaps you should get into a knock down drag out with the guys who made the rules? They're..... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2014 #162

Spot on, Tarheel_Dem, spot on. greatlaurel Jun 2014 #120

True ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #85

I'd be fine with Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #89

This ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #98

And the perpetual whiners have NOTHING! VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #46

Well, since the whine comes from sour grapes, it's usually bitter anyway. riqster Jun 2014 #50

I have to agree....they would only bring Velveeta Cheese like product anyways.... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #52

Observable, repeatable, independently verifiable. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #18

I get what you are saying; but, ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #82

Ah, it'd possibly be the same. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #87

How will voting third party or staying home ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #93

First, I never 'stay home'. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #96

Forgive me ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #107

I think one needs to differentiate between D=R and DLC=R. Chan790 Jun 2014 #172

That one problem with metaphors ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #176

lose what has been gained noiretextatique Jun 2014 #99

And not voting will be a stop-loss measure? ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #108

Not voting dem = 0; voting dem = 1; voting rep = -1. Vattel Jun 2014 #130

That ain't how binary works. There is no third option. riqster Jun 2014 #134

Fail. Vattel Jun 2014 #149

Proof? riqster Jun 2014 #150

lol nt BootinUp Jun 2014 #151

I edited the post to provide proof Vattel Jun 2014 #152

However, you make my point regardless: not voting D helps the R. riqster Jun 2014 #153

If that is your only point then i agree. Vattel Jun 2014 #154

Let's break it down, shall we? ljm2002 Jun 2014 #165

I think it is our responsibility to show up. riqster Jun 2014 #167

Agreed. ljm2002 Jun 2014 #171

No argument there. But I am done waiting for the party to do it. riqster Jun 2014 #174

Kind of. ZombieHorde Jun 2014 #159

Quite possibly. But increasing D votes is always useful. riqster Jun 2014 #160

You make a good point. nt ZombieHorde Jun 2014 #161

Dude! Nobody has even declared candidacy. MineralMan Jun 2014 #4

I want different candidates. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #6

OK. Just as soon as the 2014 election is over, I encourage MineralMan Jun 2014 #10

My influence is teeny tiny. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #17

as my grandmother used to say "wish in one hand..." VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #47

Oh, I'm fine with many of the Democrats. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #69

that you "think" being the operative word... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #83

It IS weird. Especially since no one has declared. JaneyVee Jun 2014 #15

That's how I've always done it. I vote more liberal in the primaries,but "D" in the general election Hekate Jun 2014 #62

I love you mineral man warrior1 Jun 2014 #78

Let me check with my wife on that... MineralMan Jun 2014 #80

more of that stupid 'homespun' wisdom. nt xchrom Jun 2014 #3

Thanks for kicking the thread! MineralMan Jun 2014 #11

No chance in hell would I give money to RW a-holes! nt arthritisR_US Jun 2014 #5

dumb stuff is.... dumb stuff. cali Jun 2014 #13

It is, indeed, cali. MineralMan Jun 2014 #14

Why is it dumb? JaneyVee Jun 2014 #23

I certainly wouldn't contribute to Rethugs for any reason. Besides, Hillary will stop herself w/ all those self-destructive comments she makes. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2014 #60

"If you want to stop Hillary,"... ljm2002 Jun 2014 #135

Only dumb to those unwilling to see the reality for the trees! VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #49

I believe in treating a candidate like a candidate. I think a primary should not be easy for anyone Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #21

Yeah, me, too. Let me know when someone announces. MineralMan Jun 2014 #22

Your OP presumes her candidacy and I am speaking in the context created by your OP Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #65

and who has done that? I have not heard a single HRC supporter call for no Primaries... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #51

That's not what I said, what I wrote is there to read again. I suggest you do so. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #64

and who HAS presented themselves yet? Projection much? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #84

Wow. Another dumb OP suggesting DUers that don't like Hillary want someone to the right of her. n/t Dawgs Jun 2014 #25

I suggested nothing of the sort. MineralMan Jun 2014 #27

Whatta guy! riqster Jun 2014 #33

I second that Emoji! VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #53

Eh, whatevs. Benton D Struckcheon Jun 2014 #29

The Dumb is strong in this one. WilliamPitt Jun 2014 #30

Thanks for the kick. MineralMan Jun 2014 #31

I have a CPAP device. Saying "I am your father" sounds very Vaderish when wearing it. riqster Jun 2014 #34

Indeed. But, it's also a very useful thing. I hope it's helping MineralMan Jun 2014 #36

Oh hellz yeah, MM. Life-changing. Literally. riqster Jun 2014 #39

I have no problems with sleep apnea, but I have relatives who do. MineralMan Jun 2014 #42

Here's hoping the holdout changes their mind. Nt riqster Jun 2014 #43

Yes. We all keep trying. MineralMan Jun 2014 #44

Are you saying that only Republicans oppose Hillary? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2014 #32

No. Not at all. MineralMan Jun 2014 #35

It may well be, but I prefer the Democrats who oppose Hillary and their posts. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2014 #37

Oh, OK. MineralMan Jun 2014 #38

As I recall, Hillary did some particularly egregious negative campaigning in '08. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2014 #40

Not with my support. I do not participate in negative MineralMan Jun 2014 #41

That's hilarious. This OP is negative campaigning. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #67

Well, I appreciate your concern, but I'm pretty sure on my feet. MineralMan Jun 2014 #68

But you're not the (presumptive) candidate, are you? ljm2002 Jun 2014 #138

I'm no kind of candidate. So far, I've never encountered any MineralMan Jun 2014 #139

Your position is clear... ljm2002 Jun 2014 #145

So on the one hand... ljm2002 Jun 2014 #136

Thanks for your reply. MineralMan Jun 2014 #137

You're very welcome. ljm2002 Jun 2014 #142

Some have. And, some Democrats vote for them. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2014 #59

Okay good luck with that!!! VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #88

If you're not an "idealogue" have you no ideals? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2014 #91

I am a realist....perhaps you have heard of us? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #92

Realists have no ideals? No principles? No morals? Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2014 #94

Heh! ismnotwasm Jun 2014 #45

I've been told it is dumb, though. MineralMan Jun 2014 #48

I never listen to the opinions of lesser minds ismnotwasm Jun 2014 #74

Nor should you. MineralMan Jun 2014 #76

Just the latest lame riff on whatchamacallit Jun 2014 #54

Well isn't that a taste of your own medicine? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #56

Huh? whatchamacallit Jun 2014 #57

Typical "love it or leave it" type BS... ljm2002 Jun 2014 #58

That could happen, but none of it will happen until MineralMan Jun 2014 #72

Only thing I've seen indicating a Hillary run is writing a book. ieoeja Jun 2014 #77

Cool! I'll do the same with Hill! grahamhgreen Jun 2014 #133

Clinton won't run. The GOP is just using the spectre struggle4progress Jun 2014 #141

I don't think that's clear at all. MineralMan Jun 2014 #143

When she stepped down as SoS last year, she said struggle4progress Jun 2014 #156

I remember that. She looked tired and frustrated to me at the time. MineralMan Jun 2014 #157
