If, instead of saying, "I just don't like Hillary," or "I just don't like Kamala," if maybe 200,000 people in some states had said, "I just don't like Trump," we might not have an obscene clown living in the White House.
Imagine that!

I don't know what person on YouTube you refer to, though.

(1,801 posts)In 2016 according to his statistics 51, thousand people voted for Bernie in the primaries and voted for trump in the general in Wisconsin. I do not like to throw out numbers I cant verify. I only lurk on YouTube so I cannot ask him.

(19,744 posts)It's a sad commentary on our political state of affairs. I can't believe the number of women who still believe in this, and I fear the younger generations are being groomed to accept that as well. A great deal of it is due to religious indoctrination, but there's still a sizable number who just aren't ready to hand the reins of power to a woman. It's totally ridiculous and without merit, but this country has always been averse to change, as "advanced" as they perceive themselves to be.
I sure as he'll don't understand it, but then again I don't understand Mr. and Mrs. middle-America, either.
