If you don't want to see Trump in office the best route is to vote for Clinton. I don't like her at all but considering Trump is insane.
If anything we should be telling Trump supporters to vote for Johnson lol
I had my Nader/Gonzalez Bumper sticker ready in 2008.....I was thrilled to be able to vote my conscience as I have always wanted a system where there were many options....
...but I plugged my nose and voted for Obama who was way too conservative for me....and I thought he was duplicitous. I was angry at him too for a long time for bending over and kissing the ass of all of the Republicans who made it clear they were going to say NO to everything he proposed....like what kind of idiot does that.....
...and I plugged my nose because the big picture is more important than my own POV...and I might as well have voted of Palin and McCain. Palin as the President was too much for me to handle.....
I grew to appreciate and respect Mr Obama though so the second time I didn't have to plug my nose....
If you are gay and think it is OK to have Trump as President...I have no words....
I don't have to plug my nose this time. I don't love Hillary..but I think she is qualified and I like her well enough. If I didn't though..I would plug my nose before I would vote for this man or anyone else that would take away votes from Hillary Clinton who is the only real choice...like it or not.....
If the people who think they are teaching us a lesson now ever wake up after the damage is done...and say "OMG..I didn't know " is not gonna cut it this time. The Germans got away with saying they didn't know...that was bullshit. Six million people in your backyard burning and you didn't know???? Give me a break. There are no do overs letting a man like this in power and the damage he will do. You can't undo it.
I am saying this because because someone has to say it..just so you DO know ..ahead of time. You don't have to listen to me..do what you will...but when the consequences happen....don't pretend you weren't part of the problem. Own it.
...and if the third and fourth and fifth party system is ever gonna be a reality....you have to start from the local level and work your way up.
So basically.....I agree with Bernie.
