danc4498,

First, there are only 2 VOTING OPTIONS. That’s all I’m talking about. Yes, the world has an infinite number of options. Biden can resign today. That’s an option. But when you vote there are only 2 options, it is Trump or Biden. You can do a protest vote, but that is literally no different than voting FOR Trump. Maybe you get some warm and fuzzies that convinces you that you did something good. I hope you enjoy those warm and fuzzies cause that will be the only tangible thing you got from that protest vote. It happened in 2000 and 2016.

I guess I should say that this only applies to voters in the 7 swing states. Everybody else can protest vote to their hearts content. Their vote doesn’t matter.

Second, I don’t know what you think I said that is me blaming anybody. Is me telling you my opinion what you consider blame? I’m telling you my rationale for my personal decisions. If you disagree with that rationale, that is fine.

Maybe you think pointing out the consequences of your own actions equates to blame. If you are OK with the consequences of your own actions, then good. Enjoy those consequences blame free! Don’t come at me because I am questioning whether you truly are ok with the consequences of your own actions. Your defensiveness tells me you are not OK with it.

You say you will never support a establishment Democrat in the future

I never said I wouldn’t support the establishment candidate. I wouldn’t and won’t in the primaries. When it comes to the main election, I will decide based on the opponent.

There may have been few president like trump in the past but there is no shortage of them being groomed for the presidency now.

There has NEVER been somebody like Trump! You have to recognize that. This isn’t democrats being dramatic like they were towards Mitt Romney. Or even like they were in 2016. This is a guy that already stripped us of our rights and tried to overthrow the government! This isn’t a boogeyman!

If the republicans think they can continue to follow the Trump plan and groom Trump like candidates, then I believe it is more important to send a message to the RNC that that won’t work.

Now, that is MY opinion. If you think it’s more important to send a message to the DNC, then that is YOUR opinion. Identifying a difference of opinions is not me blaming you for your opinion. I get that you are feeling conflicted, and me pointing out the facts makes that conflict harder to deal with, but pointing out the facts is not blame either.
