Those who voted (or didn't vote) out of spite deserve the outcome. [View all]
In every state, a certain percentage of people who went to the polls acted out of spite in the voting booth. Some voted for nobody for President, because they didn't like either major candidate too much. Others voted for Stein or Johnson or one of the other minor candidates who could not possibly win.
In each of the close swing states that might have decided the election, the number of those voters exceeds the margin between Trump and Clinton. Spite let Trump win.
Well, welcome to the Trump administration, spiteful voters. When you begin to regret having him in the White House, think back on what you did on November 8. You had a choice between two candidates who had a chance to win. You chose to punt, for whatever reason you came up with. I hope you enjoy the power you had to decide, because you helped elect Donald Trump.
NOTE: I realize that nobody on DU would have done such a thing out of spite. So, I'm not targeting DUers with this bitter pill of a post.
