Not sure what's so difficult about this...

Say you were asked to vote on an issue you feel strongly about, but a vote in support means someone close to you that you love will be killed "for the greater good of all".

Would you still vote yes because the main issue is really that important to you?

Would you find another option that doesn't involve the death of someone, let alone a loved one?

Would you just not vote?

These are the decisions trump voters and conservatives had to make the last election.

They determined the really good things were worth sacraficing the lives and freedoms of others who directly or indirectly affect their lives.

They voted against the right for their wives, daughters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and every other women in their family to become second class citizens.

They voted for every immigrant who works to make their lives better to be packed into concentration camps and potential death.

They voted for their own rights to be subjugated to the whims of the 1%, including their jobs, homes, assets, security and the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

They voted because the ideas and things promised were so much better than their right to life, liberty and happiness for them and everyone else.

And this is what people who didn't vote for trump can't understand. How in the world were they able to toss other people's lives into the meatgrinder for some promises that were never going to be fulfilled because the 1% is only in it all for themselves?

I strongly feel voting is your right and every citizen should exercise it.
It’s always compromise between lesser of two evils, as none of political parties or politicians are ideal.
Last election result outcome was mainly because many didn’t voted because of all on-line noise/ propaganda or simply they are fed up with what was going on.
In this day and age, all people should use their own judgement.
We need to stop all dark money being poured into the election. I think it played big role. Republicans knew and worked on it for years to change rules so that it would be hard to trace money stream.

@Nick1 Every government in the world, if the leaders stand to benefit from it, is corrupt. It is impossible not to be.

As a voter, we have to vote based off our own best interests as citizens and how we can help others and help our neighbors benefit from that vote.

People literally voted to "Own the libs and make them cry." I know this because people where I work literally said, "I bet the libs are pissed off now! We won and they are losers!"

People have forgotten why we vote and it isn't to punish people we don't like, yet here we are. People literally voted for the horrors because it would upset people they think they hate.

I'm so disgusted in the lack of humanity in US.

@FoxyQueen and now many of them are crying too. Because they thought it won’t affect them. They thought they are special !

@Nick1 Good. No sympathy here. They are getting what they voted for.
