Everyone in the goddamn world knows that she's lied throughout the entire campaign, much less during her career! What fucking planet do you live on? The shame is on your shepherd Hillary, the DNC and the rest of you sheep.

we move forward by allowing the thief to keep the car with no redress or arrest?

Truth is that if the election process is rigged, which it was, it isn't valid.

Things did not turn out well when Bush stole the election in 2000.

two million more voters voted for her. I think a lot of people are choosing to forget that. My man Bernie lost, but two million more wanted her more.

I'm going to use a hypothetical exaggeration of the issue to make the point, not saying it fits Hillary.

Imagine Saddam was accused of rigging an election, and his response was 'maybe, but many more voted for him'.

That's sort of the point.

Things like big money donors in politics get more voters. Having few debate scheduled for minimal watching schedules helps the extremely well known candidate over the unknown candidate.

If that results in more votes for the extremely well known candidate, saying they got more votes doesn't really address it.

I would have liked for the outcome to be different, but it isn't. She won. We can go 'round and 'round and 'round, but it is what it is. I am getting a little irritated and tired of this merry-go-round. We can say the system was/is rigged (is this really anything new) but more of the average voter voted for her whether people want to admit it to themselves or not. It's either going to be President Trump or Clinton. It's time to get off of this merry-go-round.

Voting for Hillary to beat trump doesn't get rid of the issue of problems with the primaries.

Cleaning up the corruption in the DNC is long over-due. It is happening now because they got caught.

We are human to react to the confirmation of months of events, and yes, we must elect HRC.
