About us privileged and selfish 'principle voters' [View all]

You Hillary supporters love guilting and shaming us by conjuring images of groups we'll be hurting if we don't vote for her. Your concern would carry more weight if you gave a shit about the millions of innocents, hawkish american presidents kill in our military interventions and adventures. I proudly view my "selfish" no-vote for Hillary, as a generous yes-vote for humankind.
