For DUers who will no vote for HRC no matter what, in Général Election [View all]

Last edited Mon Nov 17, 2014, 04:42 PM - Edit history (1)

As now Clinton camps is even talking about skipping primaries to stop everyone who dares confront them..
As now as she is so inevitable...

The power of the protest vote could exist!!!

I mean not voting for the RWers of course.

But here is what some do over here in France and various countries in Europe:


(Most of EU countries vote with paper ballots so I imagine it could work only in a few counties and/or states)


Vote for a small and funny Dem Candidate ( one like Supreme and Colbert)
Write down your loved one's names.
Vote empty....

And it could maybe pressure the power circles on the fact that people are really annoyed with this already wrapped up and decided in advance rigged games.
French govt has btw just recognized the legitimiry and political express within the "blank" (empty ) vote.
Whe have even second roles parties advocacing it.

Why not USA? After all you got your independance by a fight against British Monarchy.... so why intauring your own one by picking the sames families?

PS.THIS IS SOME IRONY but agree on the fact that some people are planning to do it. Because they are EXHAUSTED with Clinton Family domination.
