2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Please STOP TELLING ME I'll Vote for Hillary Clinton Because I'M A CHICK. [View all]cstanleytech
(26,312 posts)145. Not voting is essentially throwing away your vote.
When it comes down to any election you have to choose which of the candidates that are running do you think will do the best job if its Bernie or Hillary (would have prefered Warren but *shrug*) in 2016 great because I wouldnt trust any of the Republican running as far as I could throw them.
