Yeah. Damn shame we couldn't do that. So I guess we get the angry white christian candidate.

The fact that it was this close at all is a far bigger problem. No. That's not the point. Going into an election voting for somebody you know won't win when your state is literally deciding the election is irrational. No realistic mobilization of Johnson voters could ever have dreamt of getting close to getting the state to go for him. Your choice is between Clinton and Trump. All Johnson voters did was frustrate the realists in those states. And when the numbers are so close that Johnson's numbers literally fill the gap between the two candidates, it's inexcusable. Ridiculous. I voted third party. Not even, I voted for a joke third party candidate. But I live in New York. If I lived in Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Florida, etc. you bet your ass I'd have voted for Clinton.

Good for you, Kingpin. Don't let people bully you into voting for anyone you don't like.

I know I'd have voted for Bernie without hesitation. Instead I ended up going with Trump. I would have considered Stein, but she wasn't on the NC Ballot. Hillary was never an option for me. (unless Ted Cruz was repub nominee)
That's an incredible sort of about face...from Bernie to Trump....gratz on the win....just sayin, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Swing state or not no voter should feel pressured to vote for a candidate they do not support. You are saying if you lived in my state you would have changed your vote? If you support Hillary in Michigan why did you not vote for her in NY? I don't follow your logic. You are basically saying your vote doesn't matter and silencing your own voice. No my vote is NOT dependent on where I live. My vote is my civic duty to place for the candidate I feel falls most in line with my views. Whether they have a snowballs chance in hell of winning is irrelevant.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.

This is only assuming that everyone who voted for him would otherwise have voted Hillary. My husband and I have generally voted Republican in the past. This election we both voted Gary.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

When you look at special interest money, trade, and war policy, there's a lot of overlap. Re gratz, I don't think this is some competition that I won. I'm nervously waiting to see what he actually does. |
