I argue against the choice I made because I acknowledge everyone's freedom to choose for him- or herself. I'm nothing special and may have chosen wrong. The argument that only the majors can ever win shows cowardice or lack of political imagination, really, and it's how the parties keep us in line.
I think the recounts are a waste of time, money, and energy, and do nothing but increase the already wide chasm between Americans despite no chance of changing anything. And even if they somehow showed a reversal of results in enough states to switch the result, how does that happen after a concession? What about the inevitable drawn-out lawsuits? Who would be president in the interim? Would both candidates' transition teams move forward? It's nonsense for no good reason. Trump won, unfortunately. People and parties who oppose him should put their own houses in order.![]()
