You might as well not. You've been judged and found wanting.

So, all the people who kept telling everybody that refusing to vote for Hillary means a vote for Trump would have not voted for Bernie, thus electing Trump?  :hmm:

You seem to be confused.  America is big country with lots of people with lots of different views.  Just as there are people who would vote Bernie in the primary and not HRC in the general so there are people who would do the opposite.  It's not a lot of people in both cases but only a few % is enough to do the damage.

An interesting piece by Ann Coulter (amidst her typical hyperbole):

That fact that you don't see the absurdity of Anne Coulter - of all people- accusing others of hysterical and over-the-top rhetoric, just emphasizes your general cluelessness on American politics.

Coulter is one of reasons American political discourse has become so poisionous and petty.  This article is a good illustration why.  It is completely substance free, its sole purpose is venting nasty and sarcastic put-downs and snarky personal asides.  It is "interesting" only if your idea of interesting discussion is modelled after a junior high school girls clique.

How is that different from Obama's policy over the last eight?

Interesting piece by Coulter, my ass.

The half black girl at Yale struck a nerve, huh?
