Let Me Really Fuck This Up, And Ask… (If You CareTo) Were Yu So Pissed That Yu Voted For Trump

Only voters who voted for Trump elected Trump (and the electoral college).

…I did not vote for Trump.  But I could not vote for Clinton, either.  It did not matter anyway in the state I was in, so it was an easy decision to leave the presidential choice blank.

At the moment I do not intend to vote for Biden.  And I would never, ever vote for Trump.  So unless Biden does something truly dramatic to reach out to progressives, like naming Nina Turner as his VP choice, it looks like I’ll be leaving it blank again.

Hi willyt,

Nope – voted for Jill Stein in 2016.

Each citizen and voter has the following general options in every election:

1. Vote for either duopoly candidate (D or R)
2. Vote third party
3. Vote write in candidate
4. No Vote

We all have many options.

TAT

Thought about voting for Stein. Maybe I should have. Didn’t matter. I voted in Delaware so Clinton winning was never in doubt.

(and I’m sorry to say that so far he is no worse than any other president in my lifetime – starting with LBJ – that’s how bad they all were…)

Lets face it – Hillary would have been worse. I voted for the most liberal candidate that actually had a chance to win.

I mean come on, just spend some time here and you will see a wide range of opinions. You seem to be trying to troll people who aren’t Biden supporters. That seems like some sort of thing one might have acquired at SV. Argue points all you want, but I would suggest that you tone down the straw men polls and other non-useful posts. Join in a serious debate, not a one liner debate.

My 2c.

and most likely, will stay home in 2020…unless I decide to go vote AGAINST EVERY DEM ON MY BALLOT.

I want that party DESTROYED.

Nope.  That would be like hitting your toe with a sledgehammer to punish it for having an ingrown nail.

…it’s (how populations are so easily manipulated through) a false dichotomy.

… and therefore, it should not shock you that a lot of answers (including my own) address the decision to vote for Jill Stein, which is another way of saying, “not any blue is gonna do”.

So, Willy… Some people don’t like to be provoked unless you have a large point to make on WHO and WHY.

I know who you didn’t vote for, and yet I see no comments here to explain why ANYONE would have voted for the “blue”, which, let’s face it, is a giant “fake blue” anything.  See…. the colors are beginning to run, WillyT…

Hell, no... I'm not giving up...

Voting against the greater evil is for suckers.

biden will appoint the same revolving door corporate shills that made the obama admin so lame.

is that criticism of the DNC many flaws does not equal capitulation to the far Right.

Green party in 2016, Socialist party in 2020.

Donated and enthusiastically voted for Jill Stein.

I voted Democratic down ticket (mostly).

It’s none of your business, now is it WillyT?

In America, the vote is private. For a lot of reasons.

One, is the fact that asking how everyone voted leads to huge problems due to things called emotions.

This thread is an absolute borderline topic for that very reason.

Don’t take this wrong. It’s none of your fucking business……

I voted for Jill Stein and will vote Green again this time.

I saw Trump as the lesser of two evils over Clinton, so if I was in a battle ground state, I probably would have voted for Trump. Part of my reasoning is to end or try to end, the neoliberal Democratic Party. At this point, I think it’s beyond all hope.

Mostly because I felt there was no way Trump would win. But Hillary managed to blow it. I am voting for Biden in the GE but I am very unhappy about how the establishment and media gained up on Bernie. I agree with Trump on nearly 0% of things and Biden is higher than that. Plus, Biden is not a sociopath who stirs up the crazies in this country. All that said, still so  disappointed that Bernie is not the nominee!

You can ask me who I voted for anytime.  I’m a progressive.

Would slit my own throat before I’d vote for a psycho fascist like Trump.

(If I were in Missouri, which I am not.)

I don’t vote for racists, fascists or toxic waste.

But I don’t see myself voting for Biden. He represents the part of the Democratic party that has done great harm to me economically, as well as friends and acquaintances, and then we had Obama stand near the grave of my wife’s career and lecture me about how it was for our own good. BULLSHIT!!!

So that’s why I have no interest in fucking voting for Biden!

At this point I liken it to someone jumping out of a burning building to certain death. But hey, at least I’m in control. And that makes sense on a psychological level. Make no mistake, this is what the leadership of the Democratic party has left us.

Now if Biden wants to fall on his sword and beg forgiveness…well I’ll think about it.

Went Jill Stein here.

I know a few people who might vote Trump now instead due to being pissed.

Well, I don’t blame them.  I blame the DNC for the crap they pull.

They seriously have lost a lot of ground with the Youth vote, among others.  This will take generations to fix.

Heck, even my brother who is just finishing his degree thought about it for a few moments before I dissuaded him.  3rd Party or write-in is the way to go if you can’t vote for Biden.  Just to show that you are still engaged and voting, but still not going for either party due to what they currently stand for.

That’s not just him, that applies with him and his peers.  He is in the 20’s age group, so the Democrats are slowly losing their college level voters.

These will be voters for years to come.

That is what the Democratic Party is losing at this time due to their greed and moronic behavior.
