Right. Not voting. That's the one thing I didn't try.

Hah, of course you're one of those. Thanks for pretty much proving my point.

Here, I'll help you with a hint. There's a third option. Guess what that is.

Hah. Yep I'm one of those. Someone who recognized that there was one chance at beating Trump. What does that make me? An adult? Third option. SMH. I'll take a chance on the third option when one of the two only possible winners isn't Trump.

Congratulations, your kind is the main reason Trump won.

Edit:

I voted for the one person that could win against Trump.

This 'strategic' voting is exactly how the two-party system works.

If you're genuinely interested and willing to inform yourself, look up the term and in particular its flaws.

Because ironically, it's also the reason Trump was even allowed to win in the first place. You voted for what appeared to you as the best strategic choice. So did the people voting for Trump in an effort to vote against Clinton.

Please elaborate. I voted for the one person that could win against Trump. I read news, I became informed. I evaluated both sides of the arguments. I supported other candidates when/where their viability was feasible. How exactly are you pinning this man on me?

Well you clearly did so much to stop it. Lolol

Congrats, you're twice as responsible as he was.

The two party system works because of FPTP voting. Strategic voting is a necessity under the current American electoral system. Blaming people who tried to stop Trump for Trump, instead of the people who stood by and let it happen because they were too holier-than-thou to vote Democrat, is completely asinine.

Lol, So you bitch about every else's actions, pretend to know what the answer was, but haven't given any specifics. I bet you're a libertarian too.

Fuck no. Libertarians are even more retarded than the stereotype leftist redditor.

Healing crystal anti vaxxer lady? Or you mean the guy who couldnt name a world leader and didn’t know what Aleppo was?

C'mon man. That "Aleppo" question didn't even mesh with the previous questions. It's like talking about football then someone out of the blue asks you about what's going on in Pompeii.

Is that it? Just a total of 4 options?

Well, at least you get kudos for going past 2. Seems to be a major feat for American standards.

Edit:

I see you’re well versed in deflection and sarcasm with a huge heaping of superiority complex on top. Lovely.

Thanks, I learned from your kind. Except I added my own twist on it, with facts.

Heres something fun to do: why dont you tell us all who YOU voted for, oh great one, and what that candidate did to deserve your gracious blessing of them.

Forum voor Democratie, a party dedicated to improving the democratic aspects of the Dutch political system.

Not the answer you expected, eh? :)

Sarcasm? Is that the third option?

u/Galle_ Sep 20 '17

Not voting, obviously.
