(8,652 posts)that doesn't make you a bad person. After all, you didn't vote for Trump.
But is does mean that you cost us the election. For example, everyone who voted in Florida for Ralph Nader in 2000 helped elect George W. Bush. I know that was not their intention, but that's the definition of "unintended" consequences.
If everyone who voted 3rd party, left a blank or wrote in a vote for president in the General had it to do over again, knowing what you know now, would they do the same thing?
if somebody says to me "I wrote in Bernie in the November election, but now I know that was a big mistake. If I had it to do over again, I would have voted for HRC." I would not be upset with them. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way.
think of the Supreme Court, all the right wing judges. Think of all the harm that's being done that Hilary, even if you didn't like her, would never have done to people who think like us.
That's Skinner's point.
If you didn't vote for the Democrat in the General Election, knowing the harm that that has had on the country, would you do the same thing again?
If you would, then maybe this site is not for you.
