      This same “they’re Russian!” or “it’s a Republican!” line has been used since the 2016 election on me on Reddit. Nothing new and I roll my eyes every time. You’re not allowed to criticize a Republican-lite Dem without being accused of being Russian. I’m actually a leftist gay man in the Los Angeles area but ok…

        If you are living in California (DOUBT), then you have room to be an idiot with your vote since it’s not going to go R unless the world is ending anyway. But if you are a Angeleno (DOUBT - what’s your favorite donut shop??) then keep your nonsense contained within that state for the rest of us please and thank you.

          Born and raised in California. I’m in Long Beach and donut shop is Simone’s. Next question?

            Simone’s is good enough for me that I’ll just ask you to keep your counterproductive-to-reality narrative to California. Long Beach is a long, long way from the rest of the country. If you manage to convince 10 or 100 people in California to have a protest vote it will probably be fine, but if we end up with Trump because you convinced even one person in a purple state to stay home, I will come to Simone’s and bitch you out endlessly.

              Don’t blame the voters blame the candidate for not building enough trust with the voters.
