As a well to do white male, I'm probably one of the only people here who will do just fine under a Trump presidency.  Hell, my taxes might even go down.  But he would be a complete disaster for our country and dangerous for many people I care about, so yes, I will stoke fear, which is very real, about the prospect of him becoming President.  I much preferred Bernie, but I think some nebulous need to feel good about voting on "principal" pales in comparison to the broader and more immediate need to vote on outcome.

I think to do otherwise just because Bernie failed to take over the party of which he was not even a part in a single election cycle is myopic, selfish, whiny, indulgent, and many other adjectives as well.

I understand being upset.  I don't understand being stupid.
