PRO TIP: The US has a two-party system. Sure, the odd third-party candidate makes a run now and then, but from a practical standpoint any vote that’s not cast for one of the two major-party candidates makes it that much easier for the other one to win – meaning a vote for anyone but Clinton increases the chances Trump wins and vice versa. If you don’t want to see Trump win, voting for Clinton is the only tool available to you. If you’d rather vote “your conscience” than vote for Clinton, your conscience had better be okay with enabling Trump – and with the idea that you think Trump is a better choice for the country than Clinton.
“If you’d rather vote “your conscience” than vote for Clinton, your conscience had better be okay with enabling Trump”
And his supporters.
The best way I’ve heard this explained.
In the primaries you vote for who you want to win.
In the general election you vote against who you want to lose.
I hate the two party system, but, we aren’t going to dismantle the system by November, so…
Stop Trump 2016
