Honestly, have any of us ever had two worse choices before? 2004 comes to mind, but still better

Is it wrong that I hope they both have serious medical issues that cause them each to drop out?
As I've been saying now is the time to join us anarchists.

No more voting. No more arguing over which rapist/murderer/crook is "better".

Believe in yourself! Believe in voluntarism!

Nobody 2016: Leadership you truly can believe in!

Which is worse, trying to get gay people to become 'normal' or throwing them off towers?

BTW, I see nothing wrong with homosexuality. God made gay people gay. I'm not questioning God on that one.
And, (trying add some humor to this topic) folks who support the legalization of marijuana will like this.
The Bible says that it's ok for a homosexual to smoke pot.
Leviticus 20:13 says if a man lays with another man, he should be stoned.

Enjoy your weekend folks!

Not really. Clinton and Trump have done far worse-actual actions- to many more people.

Aside from social issues, Clinton has a centrist platform Kaine will probably do the same, Pence would be closer to Hillary that you would think aside from social issues assuming with trump gone he would revert back to you run of the mill GOP'er.

Karma strikes when the time and situation are right, not right away so you can revel in the situation.

I can't say it is wrong of you to hope for something bad, but be careful of what you wish for.

These two in my opinion is exactly what we deserve. We all just have to suck it up and deal with it.

I'd make a novena, but I'm pretty sure that's pushing the envelope, so I'll stick with 'wish'.

Yes, I wish we'd all wake up and find this has been a collective nightmare.

The mainstream media pulled punches from Hillary and saved their best punches for Trump until after the primaries. We have more dirt on both post-primary.

If every Democrat who deep down realized that Hillary was a corrupt liar pulled the lever for Jill Stein and every Republican who deep down realized that Trump was a corrupt liar pulled the lever for Gary Johnson --- America would be better off.

We must hold our leaders accountable, even if they are in our own party.
