Trojina's comments are Quite interesting. I'm gonna repeat myself: when it comes to the use of Yijing in electoral issues, my experience is that 'getting more votes', 'winning the election' and 'taking office' are 3 different animals. It is the best practice to Keep that difference in mind when tossing the coins.
Of course not. It is what I am sayingBut that's not completely what she was saying was it?
This is where I need clarification. But have nice sleep and come back to me if you feel like it.
And what I'm saying contradicts what Trojina said and agrees with you:
She said "In you saying there is no election, well it renders the original question null and void" and she made the assumption that if one responded to the original question it is because one believes there is a [fair] election not a rigged one.
There's a number of underlying assumptions we don't share about questions that are impersonal, ie about politics, philosophy, sport etc. I've shared my thoughts on these often before here so as I said when I get around to it I might write a blog post in CC if only to clarify things to myself more. Very briefly put I don't actually believe in the impersonal question nor the 'objective' answer although I do take your point that if there is one reality in a situation one could think Yi would address that. If the original poster began with the idea that his vote mattered then for me that does colour how the answer might be taken to some extent.
As far as the thread in question is concerned it's quite rich, civil and as far as I can tell, quite a lot of agreement overall.
As to the Weng Wang Gua, well, that's another question and I'll leave that to you.
.I do hope you'll write your blog post as I'm perfectly open to have my view changed
eh ? Not sure where you are coming from since nowhere have I implied the thread is not civil nor have I even intended to say that. My original comment wasn't even aimed at you.
Topal did you even read my post ? The weng wang gua paragraph was meant as a way of making a parallel between the intent of the questioner in what we are talking about here and intent of which 'method' to be used when casting. I don't think you have understood me.
I didn't initially post my one small sentence to challenge you or to change your view but to say the idea that the election is totally rigged is not an indisputable fact. My comment wasn't even aimed at you but the original poster.
(Phew, this is a marathon).
But your implication was that you were suspicious about "conspiracy theories" and since I was the one highlighting such a "conspiracy" then it related directly to me also
There are problems in every government and the US is not exempt from corruption.

I'd be interested to hear what possibilities you think there could be before I make some suggestions. It may mean changing our perceptions regarding on the nature of change for example.
True, which may also mean the candidates have just a narrow window of opportunity after the conventions at the end of the month to influence the undecided voters and those who don't pay attention to candidates until after the conventions.iams girl's take on the Hillary/Trump readings makes sense to me except that for many people it does not matter how either one adjusts their image. Many people have already fixed views of these candidates.
Re the Libertarian and Green parties, rather than corruption, don't you think they are viewed by voters as either overly far right or left? For better or worse, it seems like majority tend to go for more centrist candidates.
A confused/missed return, a bad omen, calamity and error.Reason for Sanders caving in?
24.6>27
Will Bernie be our next President: 41.1.3-18
41.1 → 4 for both of them (Trump and Bernie)
Will Sanders become president? and cast 8.4.5.6 < 35
What do I need to know about Bernie and this Presidential Election: 33 unchanging
"Will Bernie Sanders get the Democratic nomination?" and cast 15.3.6 > 23
"Will Bernie Sanders become the next president of the United States?" and cast 32.2 > 62
