    lol people hate Hillary so much, rightfully so imo. She lost this election as much as Trump won it.

    I really don't understand why somebody wouldn't vote.

    1) politics divide people. Everyone acts like their opinion is the end all be all. At the end of the day it's just your opinion and other people have theirs too, so you can argue until your blue in the face, it still doesn't make you right. There is no right. You'll have a conversation with someone like:

    Jon: I love sports
    Mike: holy s--- I love sports too
    Jon: no way, my favorite artist is Kanye
    Mike: d--- dude me too.
    Jon: I'm a republican
    Mike: gross, I'm a democrat
    ***both walk away***
    Jon: holy f--- that guys a loser, tree hugging hippy. I can't stand him. He's an idiot.
    Mike: god d--- what an a------. He only cares about himself. Racist, pigheaded, daddy pays for everything blah blah blah

    You could literally have everything in common with someone except political views and you hate someone based on that. It's a joke.

    2) People who tell you to "go out and vote!" are extremely disingenuous. They wouldn't be telling you that if they believed you were going to vote for the candidate opposing their choice. Which circles back around to everyone always believing they're right and there's only one way to see something.

    3. Both candidates are trash. Clinton is just as bad as Trump.

    4. The system is f-----. The DNC alienated Bernie supporters


    Edit: and saying, "you can't complain because you didn't vote," is not a valid argument

    it comes down to the dnc alienating bernie's supporters and running the most corporate friendly candidate of all time against the most anti-establishment candidate of all time

    Yea but I'm arguing that you can't just box all non-voters into that category, which is always the convenient thing for the losing party to do

    People fought and continue to fight for rights like this. I guess I understand where you're coming from but regardless, you should choose the candidate whose views you most support and vote for them. Lots of countries around the world would do anything for the right to vote.

    The right to choose to vote or not. I decided to consciously not vote. As of right now, not to many things affect my life on a political level. I could have voted in the same favor as the people in my life but I think that's corny. I respect your opinion, I just couldn't get down with either candidate morally, and voting for the "lesser of two evils" isn't a good reason to vote in my eyes. If/when I do vote I want to wholeheartedly be behind my vote. No matter what happens going forward with Trump, hate will never win, no matter what it seems like right now. I do feel bad for those who are a minority in this country based on how Trump's campaign was run because I don't want them living in fear, especially some of my best friends, and that is what's going on right now, even if everything he said turns out to be bs. All we can do right now is hope for the best because nothing has actually happened yet, and be happy for checks and balances

    Edit: and I am grateful for the right I have to vote or not. I wouldn't want it any other way. But with this election it just wasn't for me. At least I didn't write in Harambe for Christ sakes lol
