2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNoam Chomsky says vote for Clinton if you live in a swing state.
And, if you live in, say Massachusetts, vote for whomever you like. He lives in the real world and thinks it's most important not to have a Republican president.
That said, I will vote for the Democratic nominee in November--after voting for Hillary Clinton in the Florida primary by absentee ballot.

(7,143 posts)What's suggested "otherwise"?
On edit: This OP should have been posted in GD. The kneejerk reaction is, nonetheless, still silly.

And Super Tuesday is tomorrow.
The OP is deliberately misleading if it does not clarify that Noam is talking about
the GE, not the primary.

(7,143 posts)Not "misleading", though. Would you have had the same reaction if it had been posted in the correct forum?

(19,326 posts)ONE day before Super-Tuesday.. then YES .. I care not what forum it's posted in,
it's deliberately misleading to NOT ever mention that his comments refer to ".. the General Election"

(3,017 posts)I live in what could be a swing state (North Carolina). If Hillary is the nominee I won't be voting for her or for a Republican.

(11,936 posts)With Hillary, I kinda feel like I'd be voting AGAINST a Republican more than I'm voting FOR her... but same result either way I suppose.

(14,255 posts)Always fun, actually. This will be my grandson's first vote - he and his friends are huge Bernie supporters.
Right now it looks like they won't even vote in the GE, if Hillary wins the nom.

(50,414 posts)Note: Washington is in the "real world". But, so is Texas, and if (God forbid) I was a Texan I'd still vote for the most progressive candidate on the GE ballot.

(30,253 posts)I will vote for the nominee. The thought of a Trump presidency sends shivers down my spine.
