I tried to copy and paste it, and it wouldn't let me.

So I took the link to your whole post over there.

I didn't want to do that, but that was the only way I could get it seen.

Sorry!

1. People who are looking to vote against Trump (rather than to vote for Clinton) might decide to go third party.

2. There are plenty of good reasons to vote for the democratic candidate.

to vote, period. And I know you can't fix stupid; would be nice if people actually knew what was at risk.

protecting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; pay equality for women; student loans for higher education..... There is bound to be MUCH nore.

A GOPee controlling all three branches of the government, plus Trump appointments to regulatory agencies, would be the proverbial bull in the proverbial china shop. There would be nothing left for us to pass to our children. Somewhere amid the wreckage of what used to be a great, progressive nation would be the shattered remnants of a third-world nation, a la Somalia or Sudan.

So, if that's what you want, sit this one out, or vote third-party. The person you're screwing is not only yorself, but the other 300+ million of us.
