Top Ten Reasons for NOT Voting for HRC

[NanceGreggs]

10. I want to “send a message” to the Democratic Party. Even though they have no way of knowing how I voted, I am convinced that they will get the message anyway.

9. I have deluded myself into believing that “both parties are the same”, and the rights and welfare of women, gays/lesbians, minorities, immigrants, veterans, the sick, the hungry, and the homeless will be equally protected under a Trump presidency as they would under an HRC presidency.

8. Given that people on the internetz have diagnosed Hillary with Parkinson’s, MS, dementia, AIDS, brain damage, and/or epilepsy (please choose ONE malady from the above choices), I cannot vote for someone who is obviously going to die within the next twelve hours.

7. I like saying that I am “following my conscience by voting third party” when what I’m really saying is fuck you, every last one of you to my fellow citizens.

6. I still haven’t gotten over my butt-hurt because my candidate-of-choice was NOT the nominee and, if HRC loses, I will get dozens of “likes” when I post ”I told you so!” on my Facebook page.

5. I want to see my country “burned to the ground” because it will lead to The Revolution – which I will be a leader of by blogging from my parents’ basement.

4. I'm voting for Jill Stein because, being a loser myself, I have a soft spot for losers.

3. Trump is a liar, a bigot, a cheat, a homophobe, a misogynist, a xenophobe, and dumber than a sack of hammers. But I’d rather see him win the presidency, because the arrow in HRC’s campaign logo points the wrong way – and I can read the ‘signs’ of the conspiracy, man, the symbols by which they mesmerize the masses. Those Oligarchs can't fool me.

2. She’s being supported by the likes of Barack Obama, John Lewis, Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren, and even Bernie Sanders – all people I used to admire and respect until they became corporatist sell-outs who sacrifice babies and eat live chickens in secret ceremonies to prove their allegiance to the Evil One.

And the No. 1 reason for NOT voting for HRC:

1. Her body-double will be the one who’s inaugurated – and who knows what she’ll do once in office?

1. Definitely number 3!

I can't post any of my sources for OPSEC reasons...wait...no. I'm pretty sure that I can't tell you. Maybe if I can get my fillings removed I will, but now "they" know I want my fillings out. I don't know what to do!!!

[OilemFirchen]

3. I am how I am perceived.

If I lose my cred I'll NEVER get laid.

4. Can we add that he gropes his daughter to #3?

TIA

5. Definitely #5. Fidel and Che totally led their revolution by blogging. Viva La Basement!

[NBachers]

6. A trip down memory lane to Primary Land at Democratic Underground.

I'm glad we've left that nightmare behind.

Let's never do it again.

7. A friend of mine actually has a good reason for not voting for HRC

He's dead.

[PJMcK]

11. Brilliant!

You win the thread, Kablooie!

[DFW]

8. Ah, my favorite non-word was not omitted

You remembered to put "corporatist" in there.

Made my day!

Minor quibble with #8--remember the advances made by modern medicine. She won't be dead for at least 14 hours.

[NastyRiffraff]

14. But she left out "oligarchy"!

I realize that WAS a word, but now it's a chant.

Brilliant OP!

[DFW]

21. Yeah, I noticed that

Considering the rest of her great post, I'm willing to overlook it this time.

9. Regarding Democrats refusing to fall in line for the general election, I read

on the interwebs "I wanted Coke but was served Pepsi, so I'm going to drink bleach instead."

Fall in love during the primary, fall in line for the general election.

10. It would be no harm if the Clinton Campaign put the top 10/20 issues side by side like this....

12. All are these are separate threads on JPR

[DCofVA]

13. Shaming people into voting for a candidate simply does not work

It is actually counterproductive. It makes them more resolute in their current position. A good rule of thumb is; never insult the people you're trying to win over.

[Demsrule86]

15. Those that plan to vote for Trump or any of the third party candidates

should feel shame when they see this sort of post because they are committing a shameful act...and act of complete selfishness and as the poster said ...a giant fuck you to all Americans..we could lose the entire progressive accomplishments of the last 80 year if Trump is elected because the Senate would undoubtedly stay in GOP hands and they have complete control for four years...but even if Trump won and Scalia opening now would give the GOP control of the courts. So we have thirty years of Trump appointments to live with...sorry anyone voting for Trump or any third party candidate is a selfish entitled person who deserves to be called out...they just are pure scum.

18. Or you know, you could quit being such a dick, and rather than defining good guys and bad guys,

figure out how to get through to people with ideas. People tend to think that they are good people, and are acting in good faith. In fact, they tend to want to be good people. You attacking them on that only makes you seem like a bully and for that matter, a liar, since what you are saying doesn't gel with their own sense of their decision process. Calling people scum is the kind of thing that more fits with a GOP mindset of the world. It's the simplistic white versus black , God versus the devil, version that I would rather those of us on the left distinguish ourselves from. You can't be the party of ideas and also be the party of name calling and shaming as a tactic.

Note: I did not call you a dick. I said you were being one.

22. +100

If anyone deserves to live under a Trump presidency besides his deplorables, it's the people who are willing to throw the whole country under the bus just to "send a message". But it wouldn't affect them because for the most part, they're white and have rich parents to fall back on.

[niyad]

16. spot on, as usual.

[oasis]

17. Solid.

[Scurrilous]

19. K & R

[Rocknrule]

20. But but but I can't in good conscience vote for Hillary

I read on Brietbart that her emails and poor health caused Benghazi and the Iraq war. I'm not afraid of Trump seizing control. I'm white and have rich parents, so it won't affect me. Revolution takes sacrifice, and the lives and livelihoods of my minority friends is a price I'm willing to pay to accomplish that. If Muslims, gays, blacks, and Hispanics are banned from the country, subjected to increased risk of hate crimes, or marched into camps, SO BE IT! You can't make an omelette without breaking some brown eggs!


Your mommy and daddy's basement won't protect you if Trump starts a nuclear war, special snowflakes. Seriously, it blows my mind that people can be this selfish and petulant.
