    Could you lot not just make her president (if you’re lucky enough to have another election)? I mean if a whole bunch of people registered as democrats for the sole purpose of making her the official candidate?

      That’s not how it works here. We the people don’t really choose who runs, we just have the privilege of backing a preselected candidate that will continue to do the bidding of lobbyists or have the opposition who is also being supported by lobbyists but also Russia and they also eat babies. It’s a joke and has been for forever and people are just now catching on now that it’s too late.
