I have no idea about William Hill. But the odds they describe sound about right to me, and the Nate Silver thing and the summary of Trump’s speech sound informative

      If voting were sufficient then we wouldn’t be in this mess.

      So yes, do vote, but you have to do more than that, too.

        If your vote didn’t matter, try wouldn’t be trying to make it harder (or blocking efforts to make it easier).

        VOTE

          Please do explain how the necessity of further action “makes it harder to vote”.

          If people are so pathologically demand-avoidant that asking them to do more than just vote makes them stop voting then yelling at them to vote isn’t going to help either.

        I’ve basically given up worrying about federal politics; I STILL VOTE IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS, but it’s clear they’re too solidly captured by special interests to do much there. I’ve shifted my focus to local/municipal politics and found a lot more success there.

      Yup the idiots will still vote for him no matter what happens. Aliens could pop out of his skull and claim they’ve been operating him all along to destroy the earth and they’d still vote for him.
