    I voted for Clinton in 2016 as the lesser of two evils. She lost. Maybe the Democratic party should listen when voters are telling them their candidate is shit.

      You honestly think that 4% of voters will convince anyone of anything? Surely you have historical precedent for holding such a belief?

      Edit: interesting, I’ll take the downvote as an indication you have zero argument whatsoever besides naive PrInCiPlEs

        I don’t need a historical precedent. This is a democracy. The votes are not owed. The votes must be won. If 4% is the number who are telling you something and you can’t win without that 4%, it might behoove you to pay attention to what they’re telling you.

        I didn’t downvote you. It’s almost like other people exist in the comment section and can vote.

          Naive PrInCiPlEs it is indeed. They will certainly work out for you because they have before. /s

          Oh sorry I almost forgot, history is irrelevant when it comes time to make decisions

            Sure. I’ll take my naive principles, you can have fun endorsing genocide. You can cry about the downvote this time.

              I don’t give a fuck about downvotes. I care about people taking negative action toward society, convinced it’s the right thing to do, with zero argument. Enjoy your trump vote
