In reply to the discussion: Those who would not vote for Hillary in the GE, have you taken a good look at the Big-Picture? [View all]Beacool
(30,247 posts)Particularly those who are young and won't vote for her or vote third party. Why? Because they are the ones who will be most affected by a Trump presidency. Personally, it wouldn't affect me much one way or another. I don't have college debt, I'm financially set and I don't even have to consider whether I want a child or not.
Nonetheless, I would walk through fire to vote against Trump, regardless of who was the Democratic nominee. I don't get people who have to have the candidate of their choice or nobody. If the 17M people who voted for Hillary in 2008 had stayed home, the outgoing president would be McCain and his VP, Sarah Palin. Just think about that for a moment. How different would the country be if those two had been in office for the last 8 years. I cringe to think about it.
