Those motherfucking fuckers. I always get depressed when I see the sad spectacle of those goddamned stupid looking Diebold voting booths that somehow bring to mind a portable outhouse to me. Then I half-intentionally forget about the sad fact that at the most crucial point the American elections are compromised anyway and start feeling hopeful for even someone like Sanders. And then shit like this crops up here. Thanks a lot Nordic! You ruined my easter.

You're most welcome!
I try to ruin everyone's enjoyment of the reality show. Unfortunately people do not want to deal with this. They enjoy the show far too much to want to deal with the fact that it's about as real as a WWE match.

I just love that we had a shitty administration for 8 years which lost the popular vote. There was a candidate who won more votes! WATTBA.

Assuming the exit polls are accurate, here's a strong possibility why they show what they show:
Clinton apparently has a large lead in virtually every state among voters who voted early (that is, those who might not [?] be reflected in exit polling done the day of the primary). This makes a certain amount of sense, since pretty much the farther back a person voted, the less likely it was that either they had ever heard of Sanders, or knew he was a real challenger to Clinton.
If you simply go by the votes cast on the days of the primaries, I think Sanders is ahead of Clinton nationally. Check me on that, but if not he's very close.
Voting for Hillary Clinton would make me feel dirty.
What a repulsive Kissinger loving psychopath!
Stopping wars and social justice and security would solve many of the problems of humanity.
However, I think we have gone too far as a species in our effect on the environment and the only temporary solution there is a massive reduction in population. The ongoing extinction event cannot be solved.
But Trump and Cruz and the GOP in general are not acceptable and the Democrats need a severe house cleaning to remove the neo-liberals and neo-conservatives.
I have sadly gone beyond cynic regards to most humans. There is not enough kindness and true love in this human existence.
