What the heck even is this? What’s he trying to say? And Trumpers claim mueller and Biden have mental issues?
Some great news! We'll see who gets nominated next.
Exactly. I don't vote. As long as the electoral college is in place.Why do you vote? Same answer, probably. I'm guessing you don't vote because you think your individual vote will make any difference at all.
With Hurd retiring and Mia Love defeated last fall, I don’t think the republicans have a single African American in the House or Senate anymore.
Exactly. I don't vote. As long as the electoral college is in place.
Except when I see something that is as big as Trump being our president. Then I feel I at least have to do what I can, even if it doesn't matter and is mostly symbolic, to stop the son of a bitch.
I find it strange that you (and others) can't get behind that message.
Thank you Nikki, for really sticking your neck out...
OK, going back a step to answer your question. I vote because I see it as a civic duty. I vote in order to honor those who have died in order to provide this right to me. I vote because I believe that there's a moral responsibility to act in such a way that if everyone acted like you the world would be a good place. I vote to "do what I can", as you nicely put it. I vote in order to make a "symbolic point" (as you nicely put it) about who I support and who I don't, even though I recognize my vote cannot possibly change the outcome. (And for what it's worth, the "my vote cannot possibly change the outcome" point is completely true regardless of electoral college or not.) I vote so I can tell others that voting is important and not be a hypocrite.
Yeah, I saw a bunch of anti Trump conservatives I follow on Twitter applaud her comment, in all seriousness. My reaction was more like yours. Is there any way she could have expressed distaste any more mildly than that?
