Tweet to those who didn't vote for Clinton [View all]

By LanaQuest aka Rosa Sparks:

“ To those of you that couldn’t bring yourself to vote for Hillary although she was far more qualified.

That kept calling her “the lesser of two evils.”

That blamed her for the indiscretions of her husband.

That let misogyny rule.

This Supreme Court is your fault.

Now you have another chance to right your wrong.

Third-party candidates can not and will not win. Any “Democrat” that runs against Biden will not and cannot win.

If you want to play games go to an arcade. The rest of us want to save democracy. Want to save ourselves and children from mass shootings. Want to give women their uterus’ back? Want to recognize and embrace the LGBTQ+ community? Want to celebrate African Americans and our history? #FreshVotesBlue”
