[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 36585, member: 35"] I said something like that awhile back out of frustration more than anything else. I was frustrated with the party, frustrated with Hillary, and frustrated with many of her supporters. I felt and still feel that many of them look down on Bernie supporters who refused to vote for Hillary. Even if you voted third party, they still look down on you because you took away votes from Hillary. Bernie or bust is bad, but Hillary or bust is righteous. Like Bernie, I didn't actually want Trump to win. I even respect the pragmatic reasons he supported Hillary since she took on several of his campaign proposals. However, he also said that it was up to Hillary to get the votes of his supporters. When journalists like Don Lemon mock us for being upset over policies Hillary supported "20 years ago," they're neglecting the real world consequences of those policies. Voting for Jill Stein may have been a "pat on the back" for sticking to my principles, but voting for the least bad candidate would have felt like a show of support for neocon policies I disagree with.
