Morisato Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Does it matter even in the end? It's just rich plutocrats fighting it out over power while promising some measure of promises to the peasants who vote for them while funneling money for themselves or what the law allows them to do. They'll be the ones remembered in history, we will not. At the end of the day it'll seem different on the outside but its more or less the same within. All talking points to get you riled but at least since the internet age, more transparency has surfaced or rather exposed. This election has already favored Clinton and her mass endorsements of Hollywood elites/celebrities which hold a large sway on the public so do NOT be SURPRISED if she wins. Rigged or not, one side will be calling it so no matter the case. I am just glad the debates are over and done with and we can all go back to our normal lives of Neowin.

T3X4S Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The biggest thing with this POTUS election outcome is, arguably, the naming of all the SCOTUS judges.

Only 4 times have elected presidents not won the popular vote. No, it isn't. ....and three of those times happened before the 1900s. Still, it is a system people should know ... electoral college votes vs. popular votes. Personally, I'd rather have the popular vote ... but electoral has been in place since our founding. Rigged ... nope. 2 minutes ago, Dot Matrix said: No it isn't. Why do you think it is? ...because.... Trump.

Each state has separate rules for the primary. They are not the same for each party in all states, since it is for The President of every state the primary Elections should be the same for each party in all 50 states. As it is today, in one state the democrats get the votes in proportion to how the votes are cast. While in the same state The Republican candidate is winner take all. This varies from state to state, In one state the delegates do not have to vote for who the people voted for. This should be the same for every state and every candidate. Then some states have caucuses. This is how it is rigged, there should be a level playing field for each party in every state. This has been this way for as long as I can remember and to say that it is fair would not be very accurate. Then you have The DNC screwing Bernie Sanders and most of the leadership were fired.

It doesn't help that third parties usually nominate questionable characters. That doesn't mean you have to vote for either of the two major parties.

Third Party Candidates usually nominate themselves. They are the Pastry like when H.Ross Perot ran in 1992. I voted for him. He was the last creditable 3rd. Party candidate.
