It’s a bit different for Liberals in pure red states. We all know our vote will not count. We can vote on principle. The problem is when the argument doesn’t use that as an outright pretext to the discussion. If I lived in anything resembling a swing state I would have voted for that war hawking bitch in a heartbeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsntLifeFunny Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 @WG53 would you have voted for Clinton if you lived in a swing state? Honest question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but living in TN I wasn't going to waste my time standing in line for my vote not to count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschool Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 The discussion has nothing to do with blue votes in red states as those votes dont matter in the general. It's a larger discussion on whether a voter should put their party above the singular feelings on a candidate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a larger discussion on whether a voter should put their party above the singular feelings on a candidate. Rather than blaming existing voters democrats should focus on getting larger turnout of the 50+% of non-voters rather than blaming the regular voters that stayed home. And you can start by not giving 1 candidate all the support in the primaries. If you start out with just 2 choices you get exactly what happened in 2016. A shitty candidate that no one has any enthusiasm voting for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re making the conversation into that by minimizing the fact a lot of people on this board live in TN, where our votes don’t matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you're not a card carrying Democrat you can't discuss their candidates or issues? I do generally vote blue as it aligns more with my values generally but I've voted red and independent as well. Not so much in the past several years though. But any candidate has to work for my vote. It isn't just freely given because they are the blue candidate.

If the retards in 3 states voted for her this wouldn’t even be a discussion. It isn’t a macro discussion for the simple fact of the EC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t a macro discussion for the simple fact of the EC. It's a macro discussion because we are talking about votes that matter aka swing states. Obviously that means blue voters in TN arent germane to the topic at hand so to bog the discussion down makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 70 k votes over 3 states. This isn’t a macro argument. Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
