In reply to the discussion: They "promised" to repeal Obamacare and these women with severely sick children voted [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,936 posts)It's been months since the election and even though I'm a pretty laid back person I can't stop being outraged and sick about the outcome and everything that's happened (and we've found out about) since. What do we need to do with these people? Break bread with them and coddle them because they made some awful voting decisions that they don't appear to regret? I want to feel sorry for them because I'm a compassionate person by nature but I have a hard time forgiving and forgetting people whom were presented with an objectively unqualified candidate who has horrible personal qualities and promoted horrible racist, xenophobic policies during the campaign. And he told everybody- as did every single Republican candidate out there- that he was going to repeal ACA and presented no real alternative for anybody to judge or evaluate and yet these people voted for him- enough to put him over the top in the EC. Add to that the Russian influence- the full extent of which we still don't know yet- and the idiocy of people voting for third parties, leaving the top line blank, doing write-in candidates, or simply not voting and look at what kind of mess we are in now!
