(6,148 posts)only a subset of people deserve "scorn". People in Pennsylvania and Florida come to mind.
There were plenty of states where a protest vote did not make a difference and Hillary won.
There were plenty of states where staying home did not make a difference and Hillary won.
So, if you focus your feelings on the people in those states, then go guilt trip THEM. In such a way that inspires them to vote.
Because that's what really matters, right?

(36,312 posts)Every vote counts in every state because just concentrating on Hillary ignores the races for Senate and the House, for governorship's, for state representative and senate and for local positions.
I'm not going to try and guilt the faux liberals who don't vote. I call them fake because progressives KNOW how important each and every election is and we don't need INSPIRATION from others to get our asses to the polls or to send in an absentee ballot.
If they grow up and come to their senses and start going to the polls, that's great. But I'm not going to waste a minute of my life trying to motivate them.

(58,785 posts)Most unaccompanied children have families who are trying to get the government to release them to their loving care. Instead, the Republicans just secretly transferred, at night, hundreds of "unaccompanied alien children" from group homes to a concentration camp in the desert, probably the "detention alley" area in southwest Texas where a bunch of facilities are springing up. The staffs at some of these homes cried out of fear at what would happen to these children. These children will not have schooling while they're held, btw.
The children who went missing? Over 1000 are still missing, did not find their way to their families, those who had family.
THIS is what treating the vote frivolously in the real world means now: First they promised to come for the immigrants, and I didn't vote to stop them..
Get it?
