And VOTE Democrats into all Federal Government (President, House, Senate)

Do NOT sit out .... because your one special issue isn't fully addressed or the candidate chosen isn't pure and perfect - now or in the past.... or because others will carry the day...

Yes - Hilary Clinton lost and didn't go to certain important states immediately before the election. ASSUMPTIONS were made. It was EXPECTED  Trump would lose meaning she would win.

Yes - she was not perfect... So people had reasons to not vote for her.

OUR DEMOCRACY IS BROKEN.... and has been for a very long time. The evidence is the level of voter participation. With so many people NOT VOTING.... democracy cannot work and those who don't vote may have or may not have the right to complain (I'll add a note here quoting George Carlin's point on voting and complaining....).

IS democracy the best system? I think it is when it works and it only works when all who can vote - vote!

NO ONE is perfect. No party or platform is perfect. Hypocracy is not the problem.Past views and positions are not weights to drag someone down... Nuance and change are most real. Things are grey at best --- or a muddy colorful blob... whatever --- and each of us can live our lives as close to purity and perfection as we can WHILE ACCEPTING OTHERS.... and their views of what is "absolutely" right for themselves.
