The American people are idiots

[Weltall]

Someone pointed out one problem with internet voting. Poll booths, if nothing else, are a natural check on people too drunk to get to a poll booth or otherwise too sociopathic to behave in that setting without getting arrested. I mean, have you MET the internet?

Have you ever seen the comments section of Breitbart.com or TownHall? Sociopaths vote. There's a whole party full of 'em.

You know what a large part of the problem is, too? A lot of the Democrats ran scared from liberal positions. I voted for Alison Lundergan Grimes, because I'd sooner glue my junk to a bullet train than vote for Mitch McConnell, but I had to kind of hold my nose doing it. Grimes had some good positions, but for the most part, she let McConnell dictate the rules of engagement and she was on the defensive the entire time. We have that awful turtle telling voters here that he intended to repeal Obamacare. This would eliminate Kynect, our state level ACA exchange (and which is actually pretty popular because it doesn't have a nigger's name on it), but that didn't matter. He won easily. Why? Because Grimes never tried to call him out on this horrendous malfeasance of the truth. She didn't attack him on his opposition to the minimum wage (Kentucky is, of course, a state with a lot of poor people). Nothing about McConnell's vast personal wealth or corporate ties. Her way was to go on TV holding a gun, insisting she wasn't like Obama, and iterating that she would never support amnesty.

She was clobbered because a Democrat who tries to run as Republican-lite is doomed. Conservatives hate RINOs, and liberals don't turn out for such dull alternatives to a dull incumbent.

It's a shame, too, because McConnell was very beatable.
