You were a Sanders supporter? If so, your conscience should be heavy this morning; a vote for Johnson was a vote against a large group of marginalized people who will further, and perhaps more catastrophically, continue to be marginalized. It was selfish and careless, in my opinion. You can mount an anti-Hillary case - but this election wasn't about Hillary; this election was about saving our climate, protecting the poor; it was about religious freedom; gender equality; creating a better environment for LBGT... If those causes mean anything to you, there was one candidate committed to them and I cant fathom not voting for her. There's a decent chance our Supreme Court will swing 7-2 in opposition to everything I just listed, as well as voting rights, campaign reform, Wall Street regulations....
Her platform was the most progressive platform ever offered by a presidential candidate; Sanders and Warren were instrumental in its creation. But the pissy, selfish liberals had to take their ball and go home when Sanders lost, and then the deluge of bullshit she had to navigate, from an unhinged opponent to a massive violation of her campaign's privacy, during the national campaign made it impossible for her to find enough space to promote that agenda. It's a real shame.
I disagree with this sentiment entirely. It isn't his fault that the DNC was corrupt, and made sure HRC got the nod. Just like it wasn't my fault the GOP was inept and didn't take Trumps seriously from the get-go, so they put their faith behind the worst candidates to challenge him. Rand Paul could have eaten trump alive if given the backing from RNC leadership. I have no regrets voting for Gary Johnson over Donald Trump, even though Johnson cost Clinton the election. I was not going to choose with the lesser of two evils, and I can sleep well at night knowing I didn't do so. Where we go from here is a byproduct of the DNC's corruption, which made it easier for Trump to win, and the American people who as a whole spurned the status quo and voted for Trump - a DC outsider. This election has been a wakeup call for Washington that the American people are still in control - regardless of what they think.
It's a real shame that apparently you are one of the liberals who sees all of the evidence of how corrupt the DNC and Hillary is via the WikiLeaks, yet you turn a blind eye because of the boogie man across the aisle. People who supported Hillary so blindly, are up there with people that think the world is 10,000 years or think that global warming is a hoax. In the face of irrefutable evidence and hard facts, you still think you're in the right. The DNC is corrupt, and the American people know that fact - it is out there for all to see. Their penance is complete GOP control for at least the next two years, across all three branches of the federal government, and at the gubernatorial level.
Pretty much. so many 'Intellectual' friends questioned why I vote for Clinton. "They are both terrible any ways." have you seen her issue by issue with Sanders? Well, the progressives (and I'm one, I just realized that my guy lost and hitched my ride to another wagon) time to wake up. You didn't want Clinton to win so you got your wish. Enjoy the environmental policy you will get and voted for.
VS. Fired from Watergate: By lifelong Dem Jerry Zeifman. "She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer,” he said. “She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.” Didn't give HRC a letter of recommendation. Only 1 of 3 people he snubbed in 17 years. My point is which words do you find more stinging?
Trump's 10000 times more deranged disgusting and despicable. I rather have corruption than a misogynistic b*stard. But then again guess what? I'm a woman. So no matter what you little man, will never be in my shoes. Have someone call you a sexual object less than a human being devalue your very existence. And the society actually vote for him.
My Gary Johnson issue is with the liberals who supported his clown show of a candidacy at the expense of a vast, sweeping progressive platform that would have made life easier for millions of marginalized individuals, as well provided greater funding to fight climate change, regulated Wall Street and created greater educational opportunities for our youth. If your choice was Trump or Johnson, whatever.
Hey man. I appreciate the update on this. One less "crime" (loosely using the term here) to attribute to HRC.
Yep; frankly, a liberal voting for Gary Johnson undermines their credibility. What did they *really* believe in if they didn't support sweeping environmental, educational and social reform? Because all of things made it into Clinton's platform - Bernie Sanders greatly influenced and helped shape it. I can't fathom caring who signs those initiatives into law over, you know, getting those initiatives signed into law. Did they really think any of those initiatives had a chance with President Trump? They essentially voted against their own revolution; operating under the ridiculous idea that revolutions are led by the few and not the many. Its dumbfounding.
Your delusion would be quite hilarious if it wasn't so sad. It isn't the fault of liberals who voted for Gary Johnson, Jill Stein or those who abstained that the DNC is a corrupt organization that was outed by the Podesta leaks. The DNC and Hillary with her shady (and illegal, even if she didn't intentionally do it) tactics are at fault. It is not the fault of the voter, that the candidate put forth was a terrible horse to bet on. Point the blame where it belongs. Yours and your fellow Liberal's excuses for your party and your candidate are exactly why you are powerless for the foreseeable future.
Oh here we go. Its racism its racism. Jesus. When are people going to stop screaming this crap every time something doesn't go their way?
Accept the results. The people, right or wrong chose Trump. The people spoke and he is president. No point raging
