(27,813 posts)... and yet I voted for her, as did most of my ex-pat friends living here.
Maybe if the people in Wisconsin could be bothered to find out what the candidates stand for, instead of being impressed by who showed up, they would have voted for the candidate and the party who had their best interests at the forefront, instead of an idiot who has been outsourcing US jobs or decades.
In this day and age, there is no excuse for being ill-informed. There is no excuse for saying, "Well, she didn't show up in my neck o' the woods, so I'll just vote for the other guy".
The "she didn't campaign here" rhetoric is ridiculous, Do the people of Wisconsin not have access to the internet? Are they beyond any means to inform themselves? Were they cut-off from the debates that showed HRC to be the superior, more knowledgeable, more experienced candidate? Are they bereft of the common sense it takes to understand that this was an election to decide who runs the county for the next four years, and not a popularity contest based on who campaigned where?
Cry me a fuckin' river over people who voted based on ANY other criteria than who was on their side, and who would be the better POTUS. "She didn't campaign here" doesn't cut it. In fact, it says a lot about people that I am sure they would rather be left unsaid.
