    I understand the sentiment but it’s a little more nuanced than that. I was one of “those voters” because fuck Hillary. However, I also live in a state that her win was guaranteed and therefore I could toss a vote to Gary Johnson and not worry. We definitely need ranked choice voting.

      So you’re happy trump won. Okay, i mean, fair enough. Lots of dudes really hated hillary. I know more than a couple. But I’m in a shithole state, so. It’s more . . . pungent.

        Hillary won my state and that’s my whole point. My vote for a 3rd party was a safe vote because Hillary was going to win. I’m not sure if you understand our system and how the electoral college works.

          No, no fair enough. Living in a state where dipshit racists don’t openly cheat and win every time just seems like a magical dream.
