How Dare You consider voting third-party!
Hillary Clinton is dropping in the polls. The Democrats are beginning to worry.
The time has come to point fingers!
Host Chris Cuomo asked Pelosi why she thought Clinton’s poll numbers were tightening with her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, and why voters are more enthusiastic to vote for him.
“First of all, I think that polls are a reflection of some voters going to the third-party. The third and fourth party. The tightening that some of these undecideds have gone to that place. Some of the millennials,” Pelosi said.
Ah yes. It couldn't possibly be the fault of the DNC and Democratic establishment for rigging the nomination and forcing a flawed candidate down our throats.
Nope. It must be the fault of those voters who want to vote for someone that shares their own values.
Pelosi also blamed “fear” on why the poll numbers were tightening, as she called Trump a “fear monger” for his immigration stance.
What hurbis. What irony. As if the Dems haven't been fearmongering for a year now.
In case you aren't getting the message, the Clinton campaign is about to spell it out in bold letters.
The principal “super PAC” supporting Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy, Priorities USA Action, has concluded from its polling and other research that the reluctance to embrace the Democratic nominee among those who intensely dislike Mr. Trump is not going away and must be confronted.
“We’ll be launching a multimillion-dollar digital campaign that talks about what’s at stake and how a vote for a third-party candidate is a vote for Donald Trump, who is against everything these voters stand for,” said Justin Barasky, a strategist for Priorities USA.
Wait for it.
Wait. . . for . . . it
Mrs. Clinton’s backers are troubled enough by the resilience of the third-party candidates that they have started invoking a name that triggers painful memories: Ralph Nader.
“You’re going to end up with Nader electing Bush again if they vote that way,” warned Mr. Daley, who was the campaign chairman for Mr. Gore in 2000 when he lost Florida, and the presidency, in part because liberals supported Mr. Nader, the Green Party nominee that year.
You knew that was coming, didn't you?
The terrible specter of The Nader. Dems having been laying this groundwork for 15 years.
Meanwhile, the evil of two lessers is dropping in the polls.
Trump has pulled into the lead in Florida and Ohio, two crucial states where he has trailed Clinton for most of the race, and several states that once looked out of reach for Trump — Colorado and Virginia, among them — suddenly appear competitive.
One survey showed Trump swinging to a lead in Nevada, a state that President Obama carried with ease during both of his presidential campaigns. And a poll of Iowa, which has only gone for the GOP nominee once in the last seven elections, found Trump ahead by 8 points.
...
A CBS News-New York Times poll released Thursday found Trump and Clinton locked at 42 percent support nationally.Only 43 percent of Clinton’s supporters say they’re excited about casting a ballot for her, compared to 50 percent of Trump’s supporters who are excited to vote for him. More than a third of young voters — a diverse group that leans left and formed a key part of the Obama coalition — are supporting a third-party alternative over Clinton.

How dare you consider voting. Period.
I wish wish wish wish I could have voted.... I tried. But the fucking politicians wouldn't allow for it.
I wonder if Queen Hillary will blame me now, too.

Dammit, Janet, you just didn’t try to vote HARD ENOUGH!

Well shoot, LOL, you were never going to vote
for HER anyway, so she really won't blame you, per se. But you are in the wrong for even attempting to vote against her, and so you were purged, as we all may be one fine day. Now, I would add the appropriate expletive here regarding HER, but won't - it's not really even necessary to say that word anymore, is it? We all know what she is.

I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
I don't know about you...
but when they called me a Bernie Bro, I immediately realized my awful mistake and switched my undying support to the vastly superior Hillary Clinton. There's nothing like being called a demeaning name to make one see the error of their ways. I'm sure that half basket of deplorables is now only a quater basket of deplorables. /snark
Lol
I guess I should have been pissed off when they called me that, but I wasn't, and said so at TOP. In my fantasy mind, I hope that pissed off a spin Meister or two. Words don't hurt me. Then it turned out to be another lie, of course. I'm not a male, and neither is my daughter. This whole charade makes me sad for my country.
I'm looking forward
to telling everybody it was my fault.
Yes, Pricknick, like Nader, can be blamed.
My credit. My due.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Well, if it's all your fault
They probably should have kissed your ass some, rather than telling you and your candidate to go screw, and then expecting your vote as a matter of right.
Jeebus, if these people are that clueless running a campaign, what gives them the idea that they'd be able to run our country?
Please help support caucus99percent!
It could be a rimjob.
They probably should have kissed your ass some
Wouldn't matter.

chastise me once, shame on me.
Chastise me twice, well, something shameful, and
cut it out!

The first Operation Chastise was something of a success. What we now need are new Dame Busters to put Her Heinous back into her crate.

Perfect turn of phrase: Dame Busters indeed!
Uygur thinks she's gonna win Colorado, Michigan, and Virginia
and also New Hampshire.
I have doubts about all of those, especially MI.

I can't wait to vote for Stein here in Florida
Good luck with that. Hahahaha.
How dare you clutch at your plurality victories!
To all those fervent protectors of the status quo, take your derision of third parties and stuff it. Institute instant runoff voting with ranked-choice voting, and your entire argument evaporates. Oh, and party primaries? Really? I should provide taxpayer support to private organizations? No. HELL no.
They should have thought about all of this....
When Bernie was electrifying people, getting a whole new generation (the potential future of the party!) not only interested but wildly engaged, and TALKING SPECIFIC POLICY, rather than mouthing banal platitudes that everyone knew she would pivot away from ASAP, the writing was clearly on the wall. Riding this crest, we could have easily retaken botht he Senate and the House, and created a two new generations of progressive Democratic leaders. But no-- they had to have their Hillary, and shove her down our throats. Sucks to be them, because WE DON'T WANT HER.
To this day, I STILL don't know what the f she stands for (well, I do actually, continued corporate power, continued vivisection of working class and middle class Americans, continued fracking, 'all of the above' energy policy, pay to play, etc.) When I would ask that question on TOP, I would get equally banal and vague "she's been fighting for women and children for 30 years" bs (ask the women and children in Iraq, Libya, Honduras, Haiti, etc how's that working out for them). Stacking all those Southern primaries at the outset is the only thing (well, along with election fraud of course) that pushed her across the finish line, states that haven't voted blue since 1964 where Bernie was a virtual unknown and where lots of nice little deals were made with the 'people's' reps. Voting against one's own interests there has been raised to a fine art. We told them this would happen, that she was the shittiest candidate EVER. It may be worth it to suffer the slings and arrows of Drumpf if it only once and for all puts the silver bullet in the heart of murderous Neoliberalism, and throws these phony dems OUT, FOREVER. They can all kiss my progressive ass.
