Why do I hate Greens? Here's why

[Warpy]

28. It's wasted effort to hate them

While you seem to think they're stealing votes that properly belong to Democrats, you're wrong about that. There is only one vote you can determine, your own. Know that none of the people who voted Green expected Stein to win. They simply couldn't manage to cast a vote for either Trump or Clinton.

Oh, don't look at me like that, they lost me over 20 years ago here in NM when they dug up an antiabortion man to run for governor here. That lost them most of their support, and they'd been growing before they dug him up.

Some of the European Greens look good on paper. Here in the US, they're a protest vote for people who won't vote for either major candidate but will vote down ticket. People cast those protest votes at the top of the ticket because they've heard of ballots being thrown out if people don't fill the whole thing out, and remember it doesn't have to be true.

You didn't vote for Stein and neither did I, she's a dingbat. However, we both thought it was worth voting for Clinton to keep Dolt 45 out. Other voters disagreed. We all get to do that, aint it great?

However, wasting your time on hate is useless, worse than useless since it plays hell with your cardiovascular and digestive systems. Instead of crying over votes that were never yours to control, try fighting against all the things you can control. Make your Rep and Senator too busy answering phone calls, letters and emails from you to come up with mischief. Talk to people you know about how bad Dolt45 is and what a bait and switch he's been to the people who voted for him.

Just don't waste your time on hating. It's a dumb thing to do and you're better than that.
