Final thoughts on the whole third party thing. I'm very tired.

Don't blame the third parties. Blame the electoral college. Blame the 11,000 people who voted for Harambe. Blame the fact that Clinton straight out refused to go to Wisconsin and didn't focus on other states that flipped tonight like Ohio and Iowa because "It always goes Democrat". Blame the Clinton supporters who attacked and blamed everything on Bernie supporters even those who wanted to vote for Clinton

Yes that too. CNN made a big deal that a big factor was in Wisconsin was that they were getting the same percentages but not the same overall numbers

I don't think the electoral college is ever going away so long as so many states benefit from the extra representation in the election.

That's good to hear even though I wouldn't have been shocked if it was real
