In reply to the discussion: Won't vote because of lack of "inspiring candidate".... [View all]The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)54. Elections have consequences
Those who had a sad because Hillary Clinton didn't give them a warm enough fuzzy, and thus refrained from voting, helped give us this mess. Obviously, based on this person, there are still others out there waiting for their warm fuzzies, and are perfectly fine with Trumpism and the horrors that come along with it. I'm fine that level of selfishness to be quite disturbing. How can someone be so selfish as to sit back and watch the country fall apart and not do something to stop it? Voting is how we keep people li,e Trump from destroying our country. It isn't meant to be an exercise in self righteousness.
