    I see this sentiment a whole lot. Unless you were like, one of the few thousand people in a swing district in a swing state, that vote, for/against/thirdparty/nonvote likely had zero impact. Tens of millions of voters have their votes dumpstered because of thr electoral college. California Trump voters and Tennessee Democrats, alike.

    Unless you know your vote would’ve swung your district and also your state, do not sweat having put faith in a camp. Besides it is about policy, not people or party.

    If someone is focused on people or party at the expense of any policy? You’re probably not dealing with strong leftist sentiment to begin with.

      I was living abroad at the time. I was young and cocky. I made jokes about card games having to change the term trump to clinton cause she’s going to beat him easily. I was wrong.

      Then it got scary.

      Now I live in NC and I can’t wait to vote blue.
