... about how that exit poll doesn’t say anything about them voting for Clinton in a primary.

If you have contradictory evidence about exit polling from 2008 and 2016, then share it. Unless it’s dramatically different, I see it as a pointless blame game for a group of people.

I voted for Clinton instead of Trump on the FIRST DAY of voting in Ohio because I viewed him as so dangerous. It was the earliest that I’ve ever voted in a general election.

And I’ll do it again, voting for Biden in 2020 despite how he wasn’t my favorite among the Democratic nominees.

I have been extremely depressed about Trump winning the election, but I’m not going to lash out at people who are more likely to vote against that sociopath.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
