being advertised by people who wish we'd all walk in lockstep like Republicans do.

Yes, some people, mostly young, voted third party because they were disappointed in the Democratic nominee and hated Trump. There weren't enough to change the election results and now they realize why voting third party is a bad idea, at least until the political landscape changes drastically enough to allow a third party a real chance.

Being pissy about something that wasn't your choice and that you can't change is futile. I sincerely hope that particular neologism gets voted down quickly at Urban Dictionary. They're better than this.

So are we.
