I wonder how the FALSE mantra, "I refuse to vote for the lesser of the two evils" is working

[still_one]

out for those who subscribed to that bullshit?

1. I had an exchange on FB a week or two back

I think this guy voted 3rd Party, but he was still convinced that Hillary would have us in a war somewhere. never mind that many of Trump's actions are making us far less safe in the long run - you just can't see the results quite yet.

3. To me that is probably even worse, they have no regret or remorse for their actions, and in all

likely hood would do it again

2. I can't bring myself to talk to anyone on the left who thought that Hillary was any kind of evil.

4. Probably no point to it, but they will be the recipients of the actions of this deplorable

administration just like we all will be, and unfortunately, in spite of the valiant stand the Democrats are taking against Kavanaugh, it is highly unlikely they will be able to stop his nomination

5. The "Libertarian" I know who elected to vote for Johnson....

... originally said his paycheck was bigger after the Trump tax changes, seemed pleased. I told him to make sure they were withholding enough. I doubt he did.

Recently he said his employer stopped paying 100% of health insurance premiums for people insuring only themselves, not dependents -- now paying 50%. The original strategy may have been to avoid having their plans declared unaffordable under the ACA. Quite a few offered essential required coverage for employees for quite cheap or free, but try to insure the family and you got a huge bill. Now, I don't know. But as a hit to his wallet, he complained.

Unfortunately any April 2019 wake-up calls to realize throwing his vote away was stupid will be too late to affect midterms, but if people like him didn't check their W2s, it should certainly affect 2020.

11. Unfortunately that is a problem because they don't realize the full ramifications

6. My daughter said "neither one is worth voting for"

I told her she had better wake up because she has two daughters growing up among all this shit.

7. I think that attitude has much of the nature of religious belief

Many of those people are just digging in their heels now and insisting that they were right.

8. Heard it many times here

9. Since all humans are flawed, one is always voting for the lesser of two evils. n/t

10. There is a big difference between

a school yard bully and a murderer.
