(50,130 posts)All the polls show Bernie beating Trump significantly more than HRC...and in some polls Trump beats HRC outright. In no polls does Trump beat Bernie.
Additionally, Bernie is not dogged by a federal criminal investigation into mishandling national secrets, or an investigation of alleged money laundering and influence peddling at a private family foundation.
Additionally, Bernie is not plagued by scandals the Republicans are drooling to exploit.
You voted for the weaker candidate to send against the ogre.

(458 posts)This would be a much better country if everyone voted. I don't care who they vote for either, the two major parties, or Green, or whatever the right wing equivalent of them is, everyone should exercise their right to vote!

(13,587 posts)we'd want to force anyone and actually have everyone vote.
I'd even got along with voter ID if it is handled right. ID's being free and easy to get and all student ID's have birth dates on them and being allowed. Handled right, anyone that really wanted to vote would get an ID. I mean who the hell goes to college under an assumed name?
It's like with blood donors. I work for a blood center and we require ID. In over nine years, I know of not even one instance of suspicion that someone was using a fake name. I heard about two high school twins that thought it would be cute to switch ID's, but they admitted it once they realized it was a more serious thing than they had thought going in.
I'd say allow all GOTV measures. Registration drives, same day registration, motor voter and all that. And especially to allow undecideds or independents to join our party on short notice. That might not have been a good idea for someone's candidate this time around, but next time, they might be sorry.
