Our nominee was not my preferred candidate, but I voted for her. I'm sure as hell not to blame. Actually talk to the non-voters, don't blame the rest of us.

Nor is Jill Stein the reason Trump won. People need to stop saying that.

Same here. The nominee was not my preferred candidate but I showed up to vote and will not accept any blame for the current situation.

the giant percentage of Americans that didn't aren't on political discussion boards. they're ignoring politics and spacing out watching The Masked Singer or some such tripe.

Maybe your husband should speak for himself, and stop projecting his behavior onto the rest of us.

That is a lot of people.

If you voted then you did your part, but a lot of people did not.

mega high turnout was expected,it did not happen. The last week of the Cycle was a total bitch. Thanks Jim Comey!

Thanks for posting.

... and goes on to remind us that "If you try, sometimes you get what you need." Now, the voters could have gotten much of what they wanted (like a world with less insanity in it), but an insufficient number were willing to try. My thinking is that there is a real need to set priorities: what is the minimum goal, and how best can that be achieved? The minimum would be to restore a modicum of professionalism and responsibility to the government, and it can be best achieved by voting against Donald Trump in particular and Republicans in general.
