The fact GOP voters nominated Trump over people like Paul, Rubio and Kasich is pretty lamentable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the 119th Trump has a varying demographic problem thread? A lot of would be Clinton voters stayed home because they thought the election was a lock. A lot of Bernie voters stayed home because of the DNC leaks. That was a significant voting block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I learned from this election is I was completely deluded about what this country stood for and the character of the people living in it. But now that my eyes are open, the country got the president it deserves. Don't tell me about who did or didn't show up to vote. That's a weak load of shit. This country elected Donald +++++ing Trump. It's been painful coming to terms with who Americans really are. But it is what it is. 3 Quote One of the Final Five..........

I DO have a problem with people who voted for an infantile sociopath with a strong facist bent, and then say there were no other candidates. Guess what, if no one voted for Trump or Clinton, neither of them would've been elected. There were others on the ballot. Surely one of them was better than those two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysfit Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The election was between Clinton and Trump. No one else had a chance. Any vote that wasn't for Clinton was for Trump. There were only 2 real choices. We all know it. I refuse to give anyone a pass for 'voting their conscience' because all it was, was a wasted vote. If you didn't vote for Clinton, your decision was for Trump. Your decision allowed this spectacle. It's that simple. Spineless rationalizers get to own this. This is on you.

Not buying what you're selling. The minute people stop being intellectually lazy and only voting for what the Party machine tells them to is the minute we elect someone with a brain and maybe even a moral compass to go with it. Spineless rationalizers are the ones who believe only someone with an R or a D next to them can be elected. Every individual voter always has a choice. They only waste a vote when they DO NOT vote their conscience. That's precisely what has gotten us into this clusterphuk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not live in a swing state, might as well vote your conscious. If I live in say Ohio that is a different story. In fact a vote 3rd party or or for who you think the best choice is in a state like Idaho makes a far larger statement than voting for the big C. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two party system gave us Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. I was hoping a viable 3rd party would emerge from the ashes in 2016 but Johnson went off the deep end (after I voted for him)....I had hope McMullin would win Utah and he came close. He's still speaking out against Trump so maybe he will run again in 2020.

I still would've voted for him anyway but I think he scared a few people away with his comments.
