Nah. Hillary only claims to be progressive and hold those interests. Her interests changed drastically - so I don't trust her at all. Her views are often Republican sometimes. Trump seems actually NY progressive sometimes. But most importantly, it's important to tell Establishment its not fucking OK to throw out votes. Sending them a message that if they mess with our basic democracy, we'll not take it bending over - there will be consequences. It's also 4 years of sacrifice to make sure Establishment is taken down or at least damaged.

Eh, if you read her speech transcripts she sounds pretty progressive to me.
(also, if you don't want the establishment to throw out votes you shouldn't vote for someone who is registering poll observers without adequately training them)

Yea because that's what he did When you run out of ideas you spin lies politics 101 Trump wasn't really talking about jailing her, just appointing someone to bring her to trial. It was all a joke, it will be fine. Also he is going to change libel and slander laws to stop the mean press. And then they might be in jail too, just joking, its fine. People have been saying this shit since he started running and he has never changed his language about it. No one believes that he is joking or understands the rule of law. Don't worry it will be fine. you worry too much Yes, nothing will happen, don't worry, he's only calling for his supporters to assassinate her if he loses or jail her if he wins. He has to protect their precious feelings
Hes calling for people to assassinate her? Gimme a break.

Clinton winning never went above 26% since the poll went up

It's being botted. There aren't that many Trump supporters on tl. Same as before. R1CH looked into the last one and confirmed botting.

Care to bet on that?

Wait this is a thing people actually believe?
Even I think Bernie got screwed (or alternatively the DNC just played favorites), but the super delegates were both working as intended and not really a big deal. Clinton still got something like 2 million more votes than Bernie in the primaries.
Super Delegates are how you have a primary that doesn't end up nominating Trump, they aren't some mysterious evil (beyond maybe reporting in early to influence the primary outlook).

I think Clinton winning+tie was around 45% though, which seems much more reasonable than it is now.

People who don't understand politics for simple math believe it.

The regular readers of this topic are strongly Clinton favoured, as indicated by previous polls run before the botting started. The percentages don't add up unless we're getting external hits. But whatever, maybe a few of them will stick around.

You think Farage's debate coaching made a difference in this one? Farage has never been in a serious debate. He's not a politician in the UK. He's like Gary Johnson. Eh, Gary Johnson was a former governor. True. Whereas Farage has never won a seat in the Houses of Parliament. What exactly has he even done? I was under the impression he did a lot to get Brexit to pass Yes, he campaigned for decades against his own job that Kwark thinks is less meaningful than the home parliament. That I think? I'm not the only one who thinks MEPs are less important than MPs to British politics. I know it's not your country so you don't know how stupid you sound when you imply otherwise but you sound pretty fucking stupid.
The Republican party's color runs proudly all over your face right now, doesn't it, you overgrown twat? I never intimated that only our proud Kwark felt that way - I'm saying you don't see the irony of shitting all over Farage when he specifically fought against his own superfluous position in the European parliament, that I happen to agree with you is of scant prestige and with him ought not to exist.

It's not a representative poll, something's going on, and you can tell because the site doesn't have that many Trump supporters to begin with.

Care to bet on Trump doing these things?
Probably not.
Trump might come out with more dirt on Hillary from perhaps Wikileaks.
Wikileaks is one of those "sacred" product from the Internet, much like P2P connection for torrenting.
And Hillary pissing on that was cringe worthy.

If there's so much dirt on Trump, which we've seen there is, is it just a coincidence that Wikileaks hasn't found any?

Is someone really botting threads on gaming websites? Did R1CH find the source of the bots?
