(587 posts)Why are you trying to define yourself by your age, race and gender?
Do you feel it gives your opinion more weight? Or protects you from criticism?
Guess what? Hillary is old, white, liberal and she won the nomination. And she won it because a significantly greater proportion of Americans want her to be their leader than they want BS to be their leader.
And she *did* win fair and square. What good does denying reality do? How is your statement different than someone saying "IF global warming is real". It IS real. These are facts and not in dispute.
And who has told you that you are a foolish old lady? I haven't seen anyone say anything negative about older people and their voting preferences, other than to complain that older folks "don't get it" and that's why they preferentially choose HRC.
You're welcome to support whomever you like. And if that person is no longer able to win, then your responsibility to yourself and the beliefs you claim to hold is to vote for the next best person.
Do you think Trump would be superior as a POTUS to Hillary? If so, why are you on this site? If not, why would you say "Maybe I'll sleep in"?
Explain, please.
