Every one has a right to eat. If I grab two sandwiches from the tray and leave someone else without a meal, I not only need to apologize. I need to make amends.
The apology shows that they are less likely to do something stupid or selfish like that again.

OP
Anyone who says that the 2 parties are the same is lying & has an agenda.

Exactly, that is why am wondering if they have started apologizing for their vote for Trump.

A vote for anyone but HRC said to others this election could be gambled with.

That, again, assumes Johnson voters would have cast for Hillary. They wouldn't have.

As far as I can tell, they are doubling down. The woman's convention is a great example.

Yes, and those who thought much like this cost us a number of elections in the late 60's and 70's.

I disagree! We will have to agree to disagree. Apologies are always important for TRUST & UNITY!

We don't need to trust and feel unity with every person who votes for us, we just need their votes.

This is more than political parties. The general election was a REFERENDUM on DECENCY.

I think since I also want to see the best in people I know the apologies are forthcoming.

Who cares? The people for whom the '18 and '20 elections won't matter, because I'll be too late

If you care! If you want to be an ally! Start by showing good faith & apologize for your TRUMP vote
Madam45for2923

YES! To show good faith and that they are an ally, yep it does. If Trumpers can apologize.....
Madam45for2923

Good faith shows that the person cares, means well, & not posited to stab in the back when they are

Really don't care if others agree with me. This is my opinion. To me it shows they realize & care

It shows they care. To me that's important. If not they are not a truthful & well meaning ally.

inappropriate. No one has to publicly apologize for their vote. They either are or they aren't

Inappropriate??? I hate that word. It was used in the 1990's a lot to put down HRC.

Yes, if they want their opinion to matter to me, I want to know that they care.

I imagine if they weren't a vocal Trumper they'll just claim they voted for Hillary.

It doesn't have anything to do with assuming their votes would have gone to Hillary
