    By your logic if you voted Hillary in the primary that makes you a trump supporter because your vote delivered him a candidate he can beat. You vote shamers are really reaching for insults this time around.

      Sure, that tracks. You’d have a share of responsibility for the result of that choice. But as it’s much farther removed from the actual election, it would far less responsibility than someone who voted for Jill Stein, or who wrote-in Bernie Sanders, or anyone other than Hillary in the actual eleciton though.

      The sad thing is you think I’m insulting you.

      I’m not.

      I’m trying very hard to help you understand that you’ve been fooled into acting against your own interests. There’s no reason to take it personally or try to come up with some sort of “gotcha” to throw back at me. Especially since I actually agree with what I guess you thought was some kind of slam dunk take-down.

      In fact it’s extra tragic, because not only are you fooled so thoroughly, but you’re also getting defensive about it rather than just listening to what I and others are saying and examining the consequences of that choice. You should be here for conversation, not for meaningless grandstanding and digging your feet deeper into a misunderstanding.
