I'd disagree with putting Johnson in that category but yeah that is a problem third parties do tend to have.

Of course it's not like they have much reason to be serious tbh. It's not like they'll ever win with how the system works.

I will obviously never get an answer from The Flutterlands, about how they voted last year. I will just assume The Flutterlands voted for Trump.

Yeah, but I'm not proud of it at all. It was an anti-hillary protest vote than a supportive vote. Much like most of Hillary's votes were anti-Trump rather than supportive.


Thanks for giving the answer. And I apologize for including you in "Trump voters" who I blamed more than I blamed Trump himself. The lesser of two evils, and the dreadful stricture of a de facto two party system, I understand that. It's not your fault, it's the system, that you had to choose one of the two most likely to win or else waste your vote.

If I may say? It's still better to vote, whoever you vote for, than not to vote at all.

In fairness to Trump voters (not a statement I post often) a surprising number actually ARE regretting their vote.

I am not so sure of the numbers are that high. Though I would say I have see a couple deny voting for him now.

"The question for everyone to ask is: What did General Kelly say? If he told Donald Trump to retweet this, there's a real problem. If he told Trump not to, and Trump ignored him, that's a big problem. If Donald Trump is refusing to consult with his chief of staff on any of this, that's a huge problem,"

Probably my favorite part. It's like Russian Roulette, except the gun is fully loaded.

Apparently the Trump Administration has more generals in top positions than any since Eisenhower's.

Looks like he's turning to military men to bring order to the West Wing.

Also including their wider star system, a federation since 2213. Most colonies are named for characters of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's Don Quixote.
