Reply #16: In my opinion, the sentence

[DemBones DemBones]

"If I was to vote for Hillary then, I wouldn't be able to live with myself today" is very awkward. It would be more logical and less awkward to say "If I had voted for Hillary, etc." But of course you want to know if it's grammatically acceptable.


"If I were to vote for Hillary, I wouldn't be able to live with myself" uses the correct present subjective verb "were" but many people would say,

"If I was to vote for Hillary, etc." and many people don't know it's not grammatically correct.


Here's a link that goes into lots of detail about the subjunctive, both past and present tense. I'm not sure your answer is there because I just skimmed it, will read it later when I have time because I'm curious about it myself.

I tried to copy and past part of it but the formatting screwed up so much that you'd be better off reading it at the site.
