93. But McCain was atleast elected through a democratic process...
In a democracy you accept the results of democratic elections no matter what.

If the majority of the voters DOESN'T want to move the country to a liberal agenda, DOESN'T want to change the system, DOESN'T want to change SCOTUS, what can I do? I will fight to change the attitudes of people, but I accept what the democratic majority wants to do, and do not place myself as an all-knowing monarch who dictates his will above the rest, even if I do not like the results I get now.

Electing Hillary is much more dangerous than electing McCain, because its not about ME being screwed by having a an elected majority candidate with different ideas than me in the minority. Its about making a precedent of EVERYBODY being screwed by electing a MINORITY candidate that has different ideas than the MAJORITY, who really wanted somebody else- but has given its consent to a minority elite to select anybody they wish.
