(27,835 posts)I understand "going along to get along". I understand joining in water-cooler discussions at the office by agreeing with comments about what a great guy that Trump fella is, and yeah, sure, he's got my vote!
I understand over-the-fence conversations with a neighbour who thinks Trump is the messiah who will save the country from ruin, and refusing to disagree for the sake of keeping the peace. I understand telling your mother-in-law at Thanksgiving dinner that you agree with her praise of The Donald in order to avoid a food fight at the table.
But once you step into the voting booth, no one knows who you voted for, or whether you actually went along to get along with your co-workers, your neighbours, or your MIL.
Your vote is YOUR VOTE, and no one will ever know who that vote was cast for. So while going along to get along may seem a reasonable excuse for not rocking the boat in public, it totally fails as a reason for not doing the right thing in private when it actually counts.
