Knew Bernie would be a sellout 😂😂

Hope this shuts up all the people who said Bernie is some magical politician who will save the world.

Well, to be fair, if you don't want Trump to win, your only option is to vote for Hillary. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Predictable. But I wonder what is in it for Bernie? He got his political power as an independent, and I don't see the DNC becoming exceptionally more liberal in order to appease their supporters, if anything this election has shown how true "lesser of two evils" really is. He would have had more credibility if he just didn't endorse anyone. If anything, I think this will fizzle out his "revolution."

Is there still time to vote for Deez Nuts?

I would actually vote for Deez Nuts if the dude had some decent policies.

I think he essentially did it to salvage Clinton's campaign (or should I say, salvage whichever campaign that keeps Trump from winning), but it's a bit of a shame. I wish the US electoral system hadn't been so stupid.

Argue as much as you want, the US system is barely democratic in comparison to, let's say, Germany's.

Alternative vote, or proportionally adjusted, needs to be a thing. It's not right that voters need to chose between two candidates that don't like, because others don't have a spark of a chance with the system, and they don't want to help out the other candidate.

Currently, for many US voters, there is the option between two candidates they hate, and throwing their ballot into the garbage bin.



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

I won't argue with it, but that was a feature and not a bug. Since the beginning the goal wasn't to have the most democratic system possible, but rather to have the most liberal (in a classic sense) system possible. Of course the party system was unintended and undesired.

Our only hope.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

Bernie needs to run as VP if they want a chance against Trump. America is desperate and Trump is a strong candidate. Hillary + Sanders= Massive Blowout.

Man if Bernie and HC did not kill each other that would be the perfect setup for HC to win.  I would love for HC and Bernie and Trump and Sarah Palin.  Actually if Trump would choose Sarah as his running mate then I would know for sure this was all a scam.

Too bad he's disqualified.

Actually sounds quite neat. Obviously not perfect, but the dude would probably be a better president than trump or hillary
