In reply to the discussion: Before the nukes fly, FUCK YOU 3RD PARTY VOTERS ALL TO HELL! [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)254. No, that doesn't work. None of that makes sense.
I hold people responsible for making a decision that hurts all of us. It's that simple.
Don't make a decision that hurts us. It's not strongarming to say that. And there is nothing special about voting third party or not voting third party that shields you from criticism.
Folks who didn't vote Hillary made a stupid and crappy decision and we have the right to tell them so and to knock it off and don't make such a bad decision again.
And yes, voting Nader instead of Gore was yet again another stupid and crappy decision that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.
Folks who do this need to knock it off and stop making bad decisions.
It's not complicated.
