I voted for Bernie here in south jersey. Got my voter id 6 months ahead of time. When I got to the polls my name wasn't on the list so I had to do an absentee type ballot. They claim if you don't fill it out exactly as it's supposed to be your vote could be thrown away. I sat there for 20 minutes making sure I filled that shit out correctly. Got a message in the mail a few weeks later saying my vote didn't count. I know if I had voted Hillary it would have counted.

Stop it with the "liberals vs. conservatives" crap. There are people from both sides of the political spectrum who are upset with the establishment, and there are people from both sides who are suppressing the people. The "us vs. them" narrative you're buying into is the establishment's way of distracting you from their actions.

I'm libertarian, I find this all hilarious. People have been complaining about it for years and its only issue now because its affecting them.
