    We have Trump because of Democrats, specifically Hillary Clinton and her pied Piper strategy.

      So, it had nothing at all to do with the three million people single issue third party voting and the almost ninety million people not voting at all?

      See, you are offering an opinion on why. I’m offering facts on why. Big difference.

      Either you all have to admit that your single issue protest vote was VERY effective in sending a message that you won’t support someone that you don’t like- thus, helping trump get elected, or….

      You have to admit that your protest vote failed miserably, and your message fell flat without ever being noticed and your third party vote was wasted- thus not helping to pad the numbers of the only person that could have kept him from being elected.

      Which will it be?

      Because we all heard all of the threats from the third party protest voters prior to the election. You all were going to send a clear message… so tell me- do you believe it was it heard, or not?

        I didn’t cast a protest vote. A protest vote is one that is cast against something kind of like Democrats voting against Trump. The outcome that we got is 100% the result of Democrats thinking that they are any different than Republicans your party answers to the same bankers. The same CEOs the same donor class that the Republicans do for the same and means

          Currently, a 3rd party vote IS a protest vote. Because it is a vote against the only person that could have stopped trump.

          ALL third party voters knew they were voting for someone that has a barely above zero chance to win…

          So it was a protest- a throwaway vote. Regardless of how you want to sell it, no matter how loudly you scream from the hills.

            The throwaway vote is the ones that were blindly cast for right wing Republicans that called themselves liberal

              So you’re saying that seventy five million people are wrong and threw away their vote for the one person that had a chance to stop trump……

              While you’re right about your idea to vote for someone that had an almost zero chance to win?

              Care to explain this?
