CNN’s Abby Phillip speaks to ESPN talk show host Stephen A. Smith about former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton telling undecided voters to “get over yourself” regarding the rematch of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
With a electoral system like Ranked Choice voting, people would feel safe to vote for whomsoever they wish, as their vote would still be counted even if their preference didn’t win.
Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why the spoiler effect exists.
Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform.
Republicans are moving to make alternative electoral systems illegal in their states. Republicans LOVE first past the post voting. Just sbsolutely adore it. Why would you want to use the same voting system republicans want?
More political parties means a higher percentage of the population is represented by their choices in the voting booth. More people involved in the electoral process, more people engaged.
Its a win win win all around for not just the people, but also for the democratic party. More people voting means more democratic votes. The numbers dont lie. So what’s the hold up blue states?
Some day we will be able to vote for who best represents our interests. We won’t need to grovel on our knees, begging for representationin government. We won’t need to wait for the Republican party to stop existing.
We can do it right now. We don't have to get over a damn thing. If anyone needs to get over themselves, it would be the democrats who assume they are the only way forward.
Consider starting a campaign to change how we vote in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.
Please go away, get out of public life and stop "helping."
Being a dick to people is not going to get them to vote your way. Same with the 'deplorables' comment. I agreed with her on it, but it was a stupid thing to say in an election.
As the one and only person to ever lose to Trump, ya might want to sit this one out.
Hillary has value as a lightning rod for right-wing hatred. All she has to do is show her face and the rednecks will lose their mind. She should be talking about things like Benghazi or emails - troll the trumpanzees with shit they won't be able to resist, and keep em off the rest of the blue team's back.
Her chiming in on pretty much any other topic just weighs it down with per perceived baggage.
I'm voting for Biden but I'm not obligated to be excited or happy about it or to not critique it for the DNC. It's a choice between a lawful neutral (at best) milquetoast waffling imperial fuckhead and an outright chaotic evil dictatorial megalomaniac imperial fuckhead. One choice is clearly superior but that's the choice that's also dangling the more dangerous choice over me like a threat as the only reason to vote for them. That's pretty fucking abusive, if you ask me.
Right message, very much the wrong messenger. Like it or not, Hillary, a significant number of people in this country despise you. I don't think that's at all fair, but them's the breaks. You're not helping.
If she’s jaded about the whole thing, can’t say I blame her. If the dems had pushed to get rid of the stupid electoral college after Gore’s “loss” she might have been president.
Though I loved Steven A. Smith’s smokey-voiced play-by-play of how Hillary fucked up, - just like CNN would be expected to do - he focus on how this comment hurt her and Joe Biden’s standing because is would “alienate voters” and the margins are thin, but not how wrong and almost grotesque it is for a politician to say, “You have to vote for me, because of how bad the other guy is!”
Like, yeah, you rigged this system and now because of your own decisions, you have made it a tenuous situation. You have two choices - change or let the other guy win. What do you want, democrats? You tell us it’s an emergency! Why don’t you get to it! And we won’t fall for bullshit promises, we want action now - especially on the urgent stuff like Palestine. You gave us the vote, and we’re using it Libs.
Hillary is a downer cuck that needs to stfu and gtfo. Nobody cares what she has to say. She's done enough. Please just fuck off and go make some insider trades or something.
She did try to pander to us with this gem of a phrase, "I don't know who created Pokémon Go, but I want to figure out how to get them to have Pokémon Go to the polls"
