It's curious how all the clinton supporters are scratching their heads as to why Trump won, when not a single one will admit to actually voting for her.

You trump guys keep attacking johnson and sanders supporters with ad hominem attacks instead of addressing their posts and ideas.

You are turning td into a circle jerk.

I was paul and sanders. They oppose patriot act. I put money into sanders campaign and posted for him. Not clinton.

I voted against trump.

You think that's more reprehensible than libs defense of Hillary?

You are part of the problem.

Those of us who oppose those 3rd party candidates have already provided lengthy reasons for it over the last several months/year.

Essentially it boils down to a wasted and selfish vote for those who claim to be voting their conscience while not caring if the rest of the country has to live with their decision to vote for someone who is guaranteed to NOT win the election.

Love it or hate it, we have a two-party system. A vote for anyone else is as good as not voting at all. We have primaries where people can vote for the candidate that most closely resembles their own ideology. The general election is for voting for a candidate who will become president, not making a political statement that won't be heard except in a negative way.

There were two choices in the election. And whatever you did (or didn't do) only had an impact on one of the two choices.

People can pretend it was something different all they want and tell themselves that they did something more "principled" than supporting one of those two choices, but at the end of the day that's all they are doing -- pretending.

Anyone who supported Johnson or Sanders is a complete idiot and doesn't deserve to be addressed seriously.

Johnson:
-Claimed to be a "libertarian" (an ideology that wouldn't work in the real world even if it was executed perfectly due to this thing called human greed) and removed every semi-positive aspect of libertarianism from his platform and was basically Hillary #2 economically

-Didn't even know basic foreign policy current events.

-Top that off with his bizarre, potheadish behavior and random outbursts/calling Trump a "pussy" and saying that he wants to fight him (REALLY presidential) and the guy was just a total fricking weirdo who had no business being near the White House.

Sanders:
-A career politician who claimed to be for the little man while he was a completely worthless freeloader who never worked a consistent job in his life before running for office

-Wrote bizarre rape porn

-Was a completely ineffective politician who was a senator for 20+ years and wrote only 3 bills which became law despite introducing hundreds

-Supported economic policies that would completely cripple our economy and end the United States of America within years of being imposed. The guy didn't understand economics for shite and literally none of his points ("free" college for everyone!) were well thought out or planned. Not to mention the fact that socialism/communism has led to more death and suffering than the Black Plague. Because a corrupt politician couldn't walk through the door that Bernie would open in 4-8 years and become a brutal dictator or anything.


But yea, you're definitely an intelligent, rational, freethinking person who would listen to other people's opinions on a message board of you'd like those two pieces of shite over a billionaire businessman who was highly praised by everyone until he decided to run against the Clinton machine and has accomplished more for minorities in a day than Sanders and Johnson have in their entire lives. Trump was the best candidate, by far, this election cycle and anyone who says otherwise is a moron and should have their opinions written off as worthless emotional drivel
