I will NEVER FORGIVE THOSE FUCKING ASSHOLES WHO REFUSED TO VOTE FOR HILLARY IN 2016

104. I am the same, and I read the OP quite differently

There were people who threw the equivalent of a preschooler’s temper tantrum who either sat it out or went for the fringe in 2016, to make some kind of “point.” They, as much as the Trumpers, do share a great deal of the blame for where we are now, and I don’t know if I can ever forgive or forget them for that.

I supported Bernie as well, but voted for HRC because I saw the looming danger with Trump, and my issues with her were trifling compared to the threat Trump posed to the country at large. Pettiness and spite from some on the Left, as much as hatred and ignorance from some on the Right, have got us to this point. That cannot happen this time around.

And you are absolutely correct — the leaders we elect must be held accountable to us, the people — which is why we must not let another election go to Trump. If that happens, debating political niceties and the fine points of governing will be nothing but a quaint exercise.
