Look at me. Look me in the eye. On November the 8th, 2016, one of two things will happen: Hillary Clinton will become president, or Donald Trump will become president. These are the only two possibilities. The superdelegates aren’t going to switch. An indictment isn’t coming. There is no third possibility. There is no space between the spaces where you can hide. Every vote for Donald Trump requires two Hilary Clinton votes to overcome. A Hillary Clinton vote can only be overcome by two Donald Trump votes. If you stay home, a Donald Trump vote doubles its power. This is the real, actual reality of the situation. There is not one other option.
And there’s no ctrl-alt-del for the election. Read up on 2000 if you doubt this.
And to those of us who supported Bernie, he WANTS you to vote for Hillary. If you believe in him and his mission you will follow his advice. He knows that writing his name in, or voting for anyone else besides Clinton, is effectively voting for Trump.
I refuse to accept this. No one I know actually wants either one of these fools to be president. We have the power still. We need to band together. Don’t accept this. Refuse to back down. Find another answer and help spread the word. I’m still searching for a better solution and I am confident that together we will find an answer. We have to let this become a reality and I certainly don’t want to. There’s so many of us who fear the seemingly “inevitable.” If we could just work together we can change the outcome. This is our country, our future, don’t let someone else dictate the outcome. Fight for something better.
NO. YOU’RE WRONG. YOURE SO VERY HORRIFICALLY WRONG.
I loved Bernie Sanders as a candidate, and really supported his campaign. But the battle is OVER.
He couldn’t win even the popular vote for the nomination and you think enough people will write him in in the general election? DONT BE FOOLISH. This petulance is what caused bush’s election in 2000. Progressive people were too stubborn and didn’t yield to the more moderate liberal. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.
DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.
This isn’t Peter Pan. You can’t clap the math away. Donald Trump is going to be our President if people insist on acting like children.
Please listen to these people saying a vote for Hillary is a vote for the best. I remember 2000. It WAS THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF GOOD. And then THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN 2004.
We even had a whole campaign by punks – not just from America but world over working on ‘Rock Against Bush’ in an effort to get young people to vote and not just refuse out of apathy.YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. SAVE YOURSELVES AND DONT FALL INTO THE TRAP ENGLAND ALREADY HAS THIS YEAR
(Seriously – if you ‘don’t know who to vote for or think it doesn’t make a difference – it DOES. So many people my age told me they didn’t vote for or against Brexit because they just didn’t ‘get’ it and if more of those people had have Remained we may not be in the shit)
I voted for Nader in 2000, it was my first election and i was incredibly hopeful
