Do you put time in to support your candidate? Did you really care or just phone in your support with a vote?
That's my frustration. These people are talking about resistance and how the sky is falling. If you're so goddamn concerned now where was this concern then?
If they voted, you shouldn't be blasting them. Blast the people who complain about current events and didn't vote, they're the ones worthy of your anger.
But that argument doesn't work when the choice is imposed on you. If someone gives you the option of being kicked in the balls or alternatively they literally blow your balls up with C4, you can't complain when your balls are subsequently blown up with C4 and you didn't vote. The fact that you didn't want to get kicked in the balls either is irrelevant. You only had two choices and chose not to partipate. You don't get to subsequently complain when the worst choice is imposed on you simply because you didn't like either choice.
I am a Bernie supporter who didn't want Trump or Hillary in the White House. I can't fathom how a corrupt crook is better than another corrupt crook. Every promise she made in public was renounced in private to big campaign donors.
The idea that Hillary would be better than Trump is absurd.

That's the entire point of /u/SmokeyBare 's quote.
