I don't understand this statement, and I hear it a lot.
Yeah, me too. I guess if you're voting to offset the people who are voting in order to have it be (Bush*Clinton)^2, but voting to offset other people just gets complicated, doesn't it?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey gang, thanks for being concerned about me. We just got a quick spate of thunderstorms in my area, though folks elsewhere in Arkansas and western Tennessee had it much worse.

Dies of shock. Though I have to say, after all Dad's medical problems back in 2006, it was such a relief to see him get fed up with Mom over-talking some subject and make "jabber jabber" gestures and noises at her. That's when we both knew he was all right.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wow.

What a BAD reason to *not* vote for a whip-smart, eminently qualified candidate -- because of her last name.
It's not JUST her last name, its the sense that she's only a contender for the presidency because of it.

Matt, I'm glad to see your pixels, man.

Yikes! I'd hoped that "empty pill bottles strewn about the room" was just a groundless rumor.

Ditto.

Honestly, I don't understand this statement, and I hear it a lot. What does that have to do with whether Hillary would be a good president?
It does have an effect on how effective she can be. Being anti-Clinton will be a key campaign point for a lot of republicans just like it keeps coming up in the republican primary debates. There won't me much hope for any kind of cooperation in that kind of environment.
I also think there is also an issue of international image. If Clinton wins, that will be at least 24 years that two families have led the country. I think that undermines our promotion of democracy in the world.

That too, which is just as true as the current president though I think Clinton has better independent merits.
