Agree, but thats my point, I was asking if any alternative was given and I haven't seen anything to indicate it was/wasnt.

Why should someone feel forced to vote for someone that they do not agree with?
You don't have vote for every box. Or write in your own name

Why do you feel compelled to lie?


It's not a lie! Hillary said so!

Find a hungry homeless persons ambling around Times Square and feed them cabbage and baked beans before curtain time send them to the show in your place. They will especially appreciate this as the weather is turning colder. If they haven't had a bath or brushed their teeth for a few weeks or months, so much the better.

This would place the theatre, the cast, the production company and the audience in a very uncomfortable situation. Their hands would be tied by their own standards made clear by the cast's spokesman, Brandon Victor Dixon.... We, sir, we are the diverse America.

You can write in your own name. Where I live all that means is it gets tossed. Write in's are not counted. You can still do it but they are ignored so why waste your time?

You beat me to the punch. To be fair and accurate, she said only half of Trumps supporters were included in the basket of deplorables. So basically "only" 25% of American citizens are "deplorables". That's still 30 million people she disenfranchised and/or marginalized.

Pretty dumb statement for a candidate to make if you ask me. Her contempt for these 30 million Americans must have temporarily overridden her political acumen.

There are some unsavory people who support all candidates for their own reasons. Perhaps there is a bond issue for the local school to build a new science lab. Do you really think there won't be a few people in that community, who vote to support the new science lab that benefits all the school kids, who have some views on other matters that you would call disgusting or distasteful ? If so, would you say the bond issue is not a good and worthy project because some unsavory and disgusting people voted for it ?

I seriously doubt the KKK, and other hate groups have 30 million members in the US. I personally know a dozen or so Trump voters, and I'd say none of them are anything but mainstream working people who are just doing the best they can to support their families. Apparently I've misjudged at least half of them who are perhaps secretly members of the deplorables group.

I love that you can't rebut my post!

How can it be 25% of all Americans when only 55% of all eligible voters bothered to vote?

Well, to be fair, I believe Hillary apologized for the "deplorables" comment. She meant it but should not have said it. LOL

Democrats themselves say that they turned their backs on the people and now they're in disarray. Maybe Brandon should have made the speech to Hillary before Nov. 8th.

Well it is ok by the Brandon types to attack "ANYONE" who doesn't align with them and then in their next breath call themselves inclusive. Americans have woken up to their hypocrisy. The liberal media's job is to attempt to keep people in through fear mongering.
