Sure Don.

Take for example my vote for Stein.

Trump won Alabama 1,303,576 to 717,138.

If I had voted for Hillary instead he would have only won by 1,303,576 to 717,139.

The fear and anger based votes, but unfortunately this goes both ways.

In the competitive states, dumbshit. Everyone knows about Alabama, Goddamn.

I would have looked elsewhere to cast my vote if not for Gary.

By the way, I think most didn't understand the intent of my post. I figured hrc had it wrapped up, before it started.

While TJ occasionally appears to behave like a shit I think he's pretty sharp. In addition, I think the Hillary haters who voted Green because of this hate are few and far between. Not enough to have changed the result.

Edit: Clinton lost the election in FL and PA. She would've still lost in both states even if she got every Stein vote.

I think most did. The others are expressing their understandable anger.

A lot of people did. I think a lot of people who would have voted for Hillary stayed home or voted for third parties due to a combination of apathy and a false sense of security.
