    That was some seriously cringe slogan.

    But how was this ever enough to justify voting for the guy who has no morality, cheats and bullshits his way through everything, selects his entourage based on loyalty over competence, divides the country through purposefully polarizing statements and filed for bankruptcies 6 times, 5 of which were casinos? And that was what we knew before he was elected.

    That’s just showing how superficial a lot of the voter base really is.

      No. It shows how bad a candidate she was. People love reform candidates for a reason: Washington is so dirty, and our interests are not corporate interests. Centrist Democrats inspire leftist voters to stay home or vote third party.

        Anecdotally, the reason I went third party that year was because the big two were so bad in my eyes that I thought third party had enough of a chance to go up a few percentage points, possibly receiving a little more recognition in the future.

        Not win. But something that could lead to better elections in the future. I was wrong.

        I don’t regret my vote though, since I had found someone to vote for, rather than against.
