2016 continues to be a temper tantrum for the ages.
I wonder how folks feel about that write in ballot, or voting for a third party, or not voting at all, now that the supreme court is decided for a generation and the threats to Roe v Wade, ACA, voting rights, etc. etc. have been made crystal clear.
I get HRC wasn't a great candidate. But the alternative has been so dramatically worse than anything even remotely considered at the time.
In less than 4 years we've gone from the peaceful transfer of power following an election as a given, to a president who is priming the public that he will contest the result.....unless his open efforts to suppress votes allow him to remain in power.
We are in for quite a ride over the next several months.
