    Yes it has. For example, in my opinion the 2008 election, the first I voted in, gave us a choice between two good (not flawless) politicians--Barack Obama and John McCain. They were good in the sense of having good character. I voted for Obama because I think the Republicans are more screwed up than the Democrats, although at the time Obama was running on the slogan "change", which I don't consider necessarily a good thing. After two term of G.W. though, it was a ray of hope. George H.W. Bush (but not his son) was also, in my opinion, a good man and a competent President, although he came to office by a deplorably racist campaign. Jimmie Carter and Herbert Hoover were saintly men and terrible Presidents. In any election, we're voting for human beings, and humans are inherently flawed. Politicians, in order to be effective make compromises that strike purists as unacceptable. Purists would have a hard time handling the office of dogcatcher.

    All those mail in ballots are then counted by electronic voting machines that can be hacked and controlled remotely using 8th grade science level education.
    4 Things You Need To Know About Diebold Voting Machines

    There is a paper trail with mail in ballots which is good.

    Just called the Democratic Headquarters: You are mistaken. They are not counted by anything that's hooked to the internet. In fact if they see a signature that seems off, they will contact the person , ask them to come in and verify.

    I think it's more just a desire to win, and a desire to not have Trump as president.

    Americans don't care that the guy who gets all the power is going to do things most people don't want, they only care that he's going to give them what they want.

    Correct all politicians lie, but Trump tells so many lies he can’t keep them straight, which is why a sit-down with Robert Mueller and his prosecutors would be political suicide.

    Every time tRump opens his mouth it reminds me of that Meghan Trainor song: Your lips are moving
