Non-participation in electing someone worse than Obama is always an option.
Lil Marco and I agree that's as good as a vote for Hillary. It's an option, just understand it's implications.
The implication of people voting for Trump is that Trump might get elected.
That's certainly not a good option.
Exactly. After I vote, I have to live with my conscience. Now, I could vote for Trump and, should he win, watch 4 years of disaster. I could vote for Hillary, and should she win, watch 4 years of disaster. Either way, I made a conscience decision to vote for 4 years of disaster. I could abstain and watch 4 years of disaster with a clear conscience and be able to say "The general public is so stupid. How could anyone vote for this fucktard?"
Good rationalization but that's all that is. It would be true if a no vote wasn't the equivalent of a vote for Hillary. In essence you may trick yourself to 'think' you have a clear mind but your actions would have in fact contributed to getting Hillary in office. You CHOSE 4 years of disaster with Hillary by your actions/inactions.
You're somehow under the delusion that, despite the fact that Hillary is a horrible choice for President, that Trump would be a better choice.
He's not. Trump is a far more horrible choice for President than Hillary.
I can't stand Hillary Clinton. A year ago, there was no possible scenario in which I would prefer to see President Hillary over anybody the GOP would put up.
Then along came presumptive GOP nominee Donald J. Trump.
Nice work, Republicans.
How can you say that?. I'm a Trump supporter and I don't even know what Trump will do in office. I do however know what a Hillary presidency wuld look like.
Honestly, all rhetoric aside, although I don't like Obama or his policies, after eight years, America is still standing and in decent shape. Not as good as it could have been with better or more competent leadership, but we're still strong.
I expect 4-8 years of Hillary will be more like the past eight years of Obama. Not as good as it could be with better and more honest and trustworthy leadership, but America will likely still be here and in decent shape.
I don't feel that I can say the same thing about a potential Trump presidency. He's too much of a wildcard with too much potential to do something disastrous to America's standing on the world stage.
If you're OK with taking a chance on that, that's your business. But for me . . . no thanks.
