That is not a valid argument by any possible mean. Everybody has the right to vote whatever they want of course, but saying what you said is like saying "people eat meat to piss off vegans more than because they like it". And regardless, the driving motive of something doesn't change the end result of such something.
People need to take responsibility for their actions. They voted for Trump and their is the fault of the current state of things. Period. The reasons behind why they did it don't matter and, frankly, it's also nobody's business.
- thomastjeffery 9y ago> That is not a valid argument by any possible mean. Now try convincing someone. That is what I tried to do throughout the entire election, but the propaganda machine is treated as fact by many here. These people get hung up on the idea that we can never leave the two party system, meaning no third party candidate will ever get elected. Here in Utah, we did manage to give McMullin 20% of the vote, but that was still marginally less than Hillary (after salt lake county) or Trump.
- dllthomas 9y ago> saying what you said is like saying "people eat meat to piss off vegans more than because they like it" Or... it's nothing like that? I mean, I get the impression that some portion of people did vote for Trump to piss people off, but that's not what the parent was talking about. Saying that they "voted against Clinton more than they voted for Trump" means they cast a vote to avoid what they saw as the worse outcome.
