    Kind of like getting mad about "disrespecting the military" instead of systemic racial inequality.

    If you want to try to cook up some sort of a scenario where a presidential candidate doesn't absolutely have the final say on their V.P., suit yourself.
    How is that proof she 'went out of her way' to keep minorities off the ticket though? Selecting anything from a list of options isn't 'going out of your way' to not-select the rest, it's just choosing from a list. Now if you have anything that shows how she had someone removed from the running over their Minority status then we can go somewhere with this, but until you have a shred of proof of anything all we're dealing with here is your assumptions about a lady you're beyond highly biased against. Not the best evidence to back up your assertions.

    You are standing by your theories as Gospel here and have proved yourself willing to let others die to support your philosophy of not voting 'against' something, those are facts. Not exaggerations, nor is it opinion based on the fact that many posters tried for months to get you and others to see that Trump's election would result in people dying who wouldn't have. These things reveal more about you than you'd like, but continuing to ask 'How'd that turn out for you?' instead of literally anything else is more revealing still. As I know you are willing to distort and deflect and post 3 or so replies to every post all night though, I'm going to watch KILL AND KILL AGAIN.

    Don't worry. If she'd picked a minority, say Kamala Harris or Cory Booker, they'd just have been busy shouting 'not that one!'.

    Honestly, Harris has a very particular Achilles' Heel in the current political climate.

    If you want to choose to ignore the obvious, sure. That is exactly what is happening.

    Then there's the Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee, who only adds fuel to fire.

    He sounds like a kid whose mother is nagging him to write that thank you note to his grandmother for the sweater she crocheted him for Christmas. "I said I'll do it Mom! Quit bugging me!"

    You don't always get the election you want. And not voting in that election you didn't want will NEVER get you that election you want. Understand, #30? NEVER. The powers that be will never hear you if you keep your mouth shut.

    The rules are fixed. The fix is in. This nation is in a real fix. Whether you vote or not, the **** can't be fixed.

    No -- what you're doing is ignoring the obvious.

    The election of Obama -- after the Bush disaster -- proved that many things can be fixed when people vote the right person into office.

    Conversely, the fact that many people didn't vote in the last election is what has allowed Trump come in and wreck a lot of the things that were still under repair.

    Voting does matter.

    The obvious is that you really can't help yourself.

    Seeing as your original point was seemingly to blame those that didn't vote for Trump's election when you didn't vote, you should be glad someone did.
