Sanders and Clinton

Electoral Map

I was a never Hillary Clinton voter. I did not vote for her in the primary or the general election. I also was extremely privileged to be able to do so. You see, I live in a deep blue state, and my vote for anybody else would not change the outcome in my state. She was still going to win the delegates to the Electoral College. And I understand that technically I did not vote for Clinton. I voted for the delegates for another candidate, who never made it to Sacramento. It wasn’t Trump, and the argument that it was is partisan in the extreme and ignorant. We do not have direct elections, why the popular vote matters not.

I also have said this to people. If I lived in any of the seven to ten states where the election did matter, I would have held my nose and voted for her delegates. Why? Donald Trump is a fascist. And I expected the damage he is doing. I chose not to vote for her because she mishandled intelligence. Yes, I, and likely ten more people probably did not vote for her for this highly technical reason. And if she were elected, she would have been impeached, maybe even convicted, if the Republicans held both houses. That is the nature of the Republican Party at present, and they were at war with the Clintons since Bill became president. They also would never convict Trump in the senate because the corruption is deep and systemic. But likely it is worst with Republicans, and this is a matter of degree.
