I want to be absolutely, unambiguously clear about what I said in my last post, what I wrote about the test and that we passed it. I want to talk about what I mean by "we", I want to talk about who, exactly, has done the right thing here.
If you voted for Hillary Clinton, you did the right thing.
If you voted for Gary Johnson, you did the right thing.
If you voted for Jill Stein, or for Bernie Sanders, or for Vermin Supreme, you did the right thing.
If you stayed home, you did the right thing.
We are not to treat any of these people as more right, as more meritorious, than any other. We are not to browbeat each other, to blame each other for what happened. Donald Trump did not get elected President by people who did not vote for him, and it is both intolerant and disrespectful to claim as such.
The question is not whether any or all of us did "enough". The question is what we will do now, and how we will do it.
[A friend of mine made the suggestion that substituting "You are not to blame" for "You did the right thing" would be more accurate. I concur.]
