the idea is that if people really understood how bad Trump was, they would have voted for Mother regardless of their feelings about her

every blank ballot, every third-party vote, every person who didn't show up - each and every one of those was the direct result of someone not understanding how important it was for glorious abuela to defeat Trump

at least, according to the succdems who think they did everything right and that Trump's win was entirely the fault of the dumb stupid voters failing to understand how critical it was for Trump to lose to Hillary Clinton

i still wouldnt vote for hildog

why do these morons still project positions onto the dems that the dems categorically do not have and constantly go on tv and twitter to say they are against

because the Dems are the Good Guy and the Republicans are the Bad Guys (they are both bad guys)

Better than Doug Jones 2.

on the succ scale with Bernie being a 1, and Manchin being a 10 I'd rate Beto as a 6 or 7. Doug Jones is probably an 8, but he's only a short while into his term so he has plenty of time to shore that number up.

The idea that votes are to be "earned"is entitled bullshit. It's always a choice between least-bad options and if you don't vote you're simply putting that decision in the hands of other people.

What if that choice is between Trump and Bannon?

While an extreme example, actually, yes, I would vote for Donald Trump in that scenario, assuming I was confident that one of those two were going to win. One of those people is a competent Nazi, and the other is a buffoon Nazi. I'd rather the buffoon.

I'd probably very shortly leave the country that were the election, but I'd throw that vote in there, sure.

That you are unable to understand this basic point is the entire crux of our disagreement. Donald Trump being president is better than Adolf Hitler being president, and assuming I were confident that one would win (as I was with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, though this is such an extreme example it might be able to break the FPTP barrier, so who knows), yes, you vote for the better option. It's not loving rocket science, but apparently you still can't grasp it.

And by the way, a more radical leftist could easily say some dumb poo poo about your own Clinton vote, like "I can't believe you voted for the incredibly corrupt war-hawk neocon Shillary". It's the same poo poo, dude. You. Pick. The. Better. Option.

the only saving grace is that others aren’t taking that poo poo now. those shitlibs get a lot of pushback in the general forum and they have to go skulking back to their Trump thread.
