It's not "they don't have my favourite beer", it's "the only beverage choices are mayonnaise and bleach". Yeah, mayo's probably wiser 1/2
2/2 but there's something to be said for just going to another goddamn store to get your beer.

Going to another store would be going to another country though and doesn't resolve the issue at hand.
Doesn't it, though? Doesn't it?

with no change in the actual information or facts that are provided.
Nah. Americans are stupid and need extra time. Besides, staggered primaries allow long-shot candidates like Bernie and Obama a chance.
platypus1292
Because the democratic process was ruined at every possible moment by the DNC in order to get Hillary the nomination?
2/2 Party leadership is under no obligation to be neutral, and individuals within the party are free to express an opinion, as individuals.
Yes, voting against the corruption of democracy itself is perfectly legitimate.
1/2 Bullshit. Democracy is allowing people to vote, counting the votes, and considering them binding. That happened.

That can be an issue. But at smaller cities getting out to town hall meetings & talking directly to mayoral and council electees can happen

That's false. We have the Internet these days. Even small town council candidates can have a Facebook page many times.

I Think this is mostly due to media coverage. Presidential elections are overly covered compared to gov related elections.
President has a huge effect of international relationships though. Trump seems to be pro-Putin... which frankly is the scariest part of him.
Also Trumps complete incompetency for the job, and dishonest ignorance to facts is also pretty scary.
Very true. the average American cares about what's going to help their daily life. state/local government and fed representation is crucial

Yeah but you're 1 opinion in 300 million. Good luck moving that needle. Meanwhile, the people who decide water purity, road quality, 1/2
