(4,616 posts)You showed us all in 2016 didn't you. Maybe one more time will get you what you want.
Wanting what you want is all fine and well. I want what I want as well. But, I'm smart enough to know, when it comes down to nut cutting time, all I need is the answer to one simple question, who is going to do more harm than good? It's not, maybe this time a Green party candidate will win. Or maybe this time sitting out will be ok. Or maybe this time republicans will change.
You think ANY of us have got everything, or even 20% of what we'd like to see from the government? Hell no we haven't. But some of us recognize that voting 3rd party or not voting at all or turning on the ONLY choice we have because they didn't (fill in the blank here) is a risk that we (the country as a whole) CANNOT afford to gamble with.
So, Trump WAS elected President, the courts are already stacked, the Supreme Court is lost, state houses are already stacked and Dems barely hold the senate. But go ahead, stand your ground and protest. We're only one cycle away from Republicans having TOTAL domination. Maybe that will get gun control, climate change, student loans, medicare for all and such taken care of.
