Stateside, I feel like you do about the fringe candidates. A recent cnn article showed that the fringe candidate vote could have cost Hillary the election. I have no time for idealists who, faced with the prospect of a demagogue, stick by their bloody principles and say they'll vote for Jill Stein or that Johnson guy (who didn't even know what Aleppo was) because they want to vote according to their conscience. Look what you've done, you idiots!!
You ask what choice SCO? I hear you. I'm not living down there. I like to think if I were I'd be among the social activists who are demonstrating in the streets with "He's not my President" written on my forehead. Wouldn't do any tangible good, I know. But, I'd be able to sleep better at night. The 59m people who voted for him are who worry me. They bought into the platform of a demagogue and malevolent manipulator just like people in 1930s Germany did. But, that doesn't make it right. The person who invented the cliche "the people are always right" imo must have meant it as a practical joke, because it just aint true. They are often dead wrong.
Oh, and another thing I might do. Join the thousands of Americans who are so worried that on election night as the result was becoming apparent, the Canadian Immigration site crashed due to all the traffic on it from the U.S. No walls here.
