Uh huh, and how do those numbers compare to the number of eligible voters who simply didn't vote at all? Maybe the Clinton campaign should have just done better campaigning in those states, or offered a better platform.

You owe her your vote! How dare you expect her to try and earn your vote?

Clear and utter bullshit, GTFOH with that propaganda

Lmao, I thought that we lived in a democracy and not a "You owe the democrats a vote" state. Why don't you better say? "Never Forget, what being a pro-genocide president that doesn't listen to your constituents gets you"

I don’t owe Dems shit. I owe society my effort to prevent the orange-bad getting power again. We’re in danger of becoming a fascist state.

If you’re are forced to choose between two pro-genocide candidates I’m afraid we have already passed fascism. Or maybe Palestinians don’t count as humans so there’s still time to save the US before fascism gets to the real people?

In danger? Look around you, we are there.

Hyperbole downplays the true risk if fascism becomes the mainstream in this country. We don't have people being disappeared. We will if it becomes the main.

We don't? The Patriot Act says US Citizens can be held indefinitely without trial, and tortured if they're accused of terrorism.

Covert fascism has been the mainstay for decades, The only difference now is that covert fascism Is becoming more blatant.

We’re in danger of becoming a fascist state? We just had a four year period of having a Democrat as president, with the Democrats also having a two year period at the start of that where they controlled both the Senate and the House. Are you telling me that the Democrats did nothing in that time to counter the threat of the US falling under fascist rule?

If the Democratic elected officials didn’t consider that to be important, why should we?

Clinton gave us trump, not 3rd party voters. Even without 3rd parties we would NEVER support your POS right wing oligarchs
