(100,063 posts)The ones that threw away their vote are the ones who pissed me off the most. I have a relative (who shall remain nameless) who was joking about throwing away his vote because he wouldn't vote for Hillary or Trump and at least he could vote for whatever his write in vote was - which was something ridiculously stupid. When he told me that, I had that look on my face like I had seen a ghost.
And that's *EXACTLY* how these things happen. If you don't vote, or throw away your vote, the bad guys win. And Trump is a bad guy, it doesn't take an ivy league political science major to figure that one out. He's the worst of the worst. And look at his supporters - they're bad guys too. Devin Nunes is a bad guy. Steve Scalise is a bad guy. Jim Jordan is a bad guy. Mitch McConnell is a bad guy. Matt Gaetz is a bad guy. I could go on and on. There's plenty of reasons not to vote for Trump, and getting a liberal SCOTUS and getting the religious right out of our government is definitely one of them, among many other things.
