This stance I sometimes hear from Sanders supporters (and I'm one of them, though not a US citizen myself) completely baffles me.
Why would a Sanders supporter want to risk putting someone like Trump in office (through inaction)? Asides from maybe the anti-establishment aspect, Trump and his proposed policies spits in the face of everything Sanders stands for. Even if we ignore his own dangerous, egomaniac tendencies, having a Republican president in office with a supreme court nomination on the line could easily undo all the progress (however little) the US has made in areas like healthcare, marriage equality, minority rights, gun regulation, climate change, etc, and very possibly even regress on certain areas.
There's so much at stake in this election and a Trump presidency will be absolutely disastrous for not just the US, but the entire world.
- krisroadruck 10y agoIt's probably confusing to you because you don't understand that there are people who dislike Hillary and Trump in equal measures. I think either will be a complete disaster but seeing as how it looks like I have no alternatives I refuse to dignify the election by wasting my time voting between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. The idea of vote for Hillary because she is slightly less evil than trump or the reverse is just not something I'm willing to do. They are both scum and I can't stomach endorsing either one in some kind of crazy game of russian roulette.
