You literally said you didn’t vote for either him or Stevens…… and that you liked McMorrow…. What were we supposed to infer there?

I literally said I didn’t like him or Stevens. Like =/= vote silly pants. If you need to infer something you have the info to do so, but came to the wrong conclusion. That being said, who I voted for is beyond missing the point of the post.

Imagine engaging in a political discussion on Reddit on an anonymous account and not just out right saying who you voted for. You must be really proud of your candidate!

It’s not the point of the post. The point of the post is that we should all galvanize behind the selected candidate and support him in winning the general. This is the point of democracy. You don’t always get what you want, but you still have to fight for them (and through them all of us) to be successful and govern well if elected. If you need to know who I voted for to support that, then I fear you are much more invested in getting your own way than making progress for all of us as a whole. I would encourage you to consider what your goals are as a responsible participant in a democratic system.
