2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Yeah, in connection with Yavin4's thread on Hillary Hate [View all]Tab
(11,093 posts)(don't know anything about Yavin4, just wanted a separate thread but acknowledge the topic)
but it doesn't really matter because I've observed plenty of posts of this on my own - "If Hillary makes it, I can't bring myself to vote for her because.... <whatever>". So you're going to toss your vote on the one really good chance we have at toppling the GOP? That's the primary end game here (years ago I didn't care as much because they seemed somewhat responsible, but now it's just a bunch of right wing extremists - hell, refusing to participate in government if it doesn't go their way or wasn't initiated by them - that's not helping the country. Once the teabaggers got a foothold (yes, I'm calling you teabaggers - look it up) we just lurched the GOP to the right, and they don't seem to be self-correcting very much. Well, I'm sorry, I voted for Bernie in the primaries, but if Hillary gets the nod then I'll vote for her. To fail to do that would be to throw away a big right of mine as a citizen at a time we need it the most.
