I would like to ask all the people who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton [View all]

Last edited Sat Jan 10, 2026, 11:45 AM - Edit history (1)

for whatever reason in 2016, are you happy now? Is this so much better?

Thanks for nothing.

Edited to add: My comment is NOT directed toward anyone here at DU. That was not and is not my intention. I am truly sorry if it was interpreted that way. I would never disparage anyone at DU nor would I ever intentionally offend anyone here.

Please see my responses at nos. 4 and 19 for further clarification.
