If you mean that I voted against Hillary, that's a lie. I voted for her, despite my differences with her.
If by "fine with voting against Hillary" you mean that I think people had a constitutional right to vote against her, or that I think people who run websites have a constitutional right to urge people to vote against her, then, yeah, I'm "fine" with that. By the phrase "helped put Trump in office," are you implying that, with more posts on DU criticizing JPR for allowing anti-Clinton posts, the outcome of the election would've been different?
On DU there were plenty of pro-Clinton posts. I was on JPR, urging a vote for Clinton to an audience that wasn't seeing nearly so many such posts, and where there were some people who I thought might be persuaded. If you choose instead to sit in a safe space where no one is allowed to disagree with you on the point, fine, that's your choice, but don't tell me that I was helping put Trump in office.
