Submitted by marvin peyser (United States), Jan 17, 2017 at 14:36
To root for Trump to win but not vote for him makes no sense whatsoever

Daniel Pipes replies:
Of course it makes sense; just think about it.
I found both major candidates too repulsive to vote for, so I voted for neither. But confronted with the fact that one of them would win, I rooted for the one I found slightly less wretched.
