Ronda Rousey Just Revealed Who She’s Backing for President

Ronda Rousey, champion UFC fighter and noted badass, has officially shared her pick for the next president of the United States in an interview with Maxim.

“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn’t take any corporate money,” Rousey said. “I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests.”

If Sanders loses in the primary, Rousey’s plan will probably be to vote for a third party.

If by some miracle Hillary is the nominee she will get 60% of the vote in California. Seriously I am sick of this, people acting like when people go into the voting booth they don't know if they live in a red state, blue state, or a purple state.

I know how Blue my state is. I knew how red Tennessee is when I lived there and I voted accordingly.

She lives in California: it will be blue no matter who she votes for.

Same goes for me. I live in Tennessee. My state will be red regardless of who I vote for.

No - my fight is in the primaries.

Botany. I remember you from when I was a Clarkie.

would think of that every time they run an establishment neoliberal whose policies and positions are not that dissimilar to the Republicans.

Also remember that less than 35% of registered voters are Democrats. Independents and other third parties are not as swayed by that SCOTUS fear-bait.

Bernie didn't win the Dem nomination, she would vote third party in the general election.
