    … don’t you think a lot of Trump votes were defensive votes against Hilary/Harris? Telling people to vote against the worse candidate is morbid and devoid of hope.

    Elections should be restructured so people aren’t forced into 1-on-1 battles. People naturally have more diverse beliefs than a left/right spectrum. The current system was gamed into crisis. Time for an amendment

      The system needs to be changed, absolutely.

      Do you think that is going be easier with a Democrat in charge or Trump? Given that Trump has already done everything possible to destroy what little voter rights Americans do have. And may not be done.

      At this point wouldn’t be surprised if he made up some bullshit excuse to cancel the fall elevations all together.

      Voting “defensively for trump” is like setting your house on fire… defensively!
