46. How the fuck am I to blame ?!?

Wed May 3, 2017, 10:59 PM

May 2017

Ive voted for Democrats since I was first allowed a choice. I voted for Hillary. I argued, passionately, as to why Trump would be a fucking shit show for our country. But the right has spent the last 20 years HATING Hillary Clinton. Did you think they would say "yeah, but Trump is loony tunes, so I'll vote for that woman that I have been taught to hate for 20 years?"

Hillary was a bad choice. Not because she lacks ANYTHING, but because we KNEW our opponents HATED her. I didnt fall for diddily shit... I said from day one that she would lose, then lost friends over arguing for her anyway, after proudly proclaiming that I voted for the smart woman over the narcissistic troll.

She lost. Not my fault. We nominated the ONE person guaranteed to turn out Republican voters, who would have voted for a fresh pile of dogshit over her out of pure spite and hatred. Were they ignorant? Were they wrong ? Is their hatred misplaced ? Yes yes and yes. Was it CLEAR that they would pour out to vote against her ? YES.

I did my part, and voted for the candidate who lost. Im not to blame here.
