(2,700 posts)But don't condemn them. I doubt they thought -- any of them -- that Trump had a smidgen of a chance to actually win. Their decision not-to-vote was made from what they thought was a safe position. After all, when Hillary won the election, they would be able to say they played no part in her victory.
Turns out, to the horror of all rational people, including the non-Hillary voters who felt Senator Sanders had been jobbed, as well as the rest of the world, they were wrong.
But this is not the time to let our anger and rancor over their bad decision in the last (maybe final) Presidential election drive away any potential future voters against Trump and the Republican Party.
My feeling in the matter is that any voter who denied Hillary a vote because they felt robbed by the rigged DNC primary process needs to be talked down from their airy stulos and persuaded to vote in 2018 and 2020 (assuming there is still a vote to be made) -- and vote if not FOR someone, then against the Orange faced fascist from Mar a Lago and any member of the Party that supports him.
