It's really not, because a lot of left of center voters just won't bother to vote for someone they don't like.

Then frankly, they are idiots. Any foolish “protest vote” come November is just helping Trump.

I never said they were rational. I'm saying they matter. Calling them idiots does nothing to keep Trump out of power.

i also wonder if it spells our demise as a society as well.
