(9,313 posts)As I replied to a post upthread, ultimately, it is not the vows not to vote for Hillary that pain me, it is the tone of so many of the posts that contain that vow. (post 95)
I get the opposition to Hillary. I have a different perspective. I did not post the OP in an effort to change any minds. I needed to express frustration that's been building up, and lay out the thoughts behind that frustration. At the core of it all is my belief that it's about us, not "them." And, as I said in the OP, I think we - people "on the ground" lobbying for meaningful change -- have a better shot at influencing legislation, and seeing constitutional issues resolved more sanely, with Hillary in office than Trump. My perspective may be misguided. It's just where I'm coming from.
