如果你叛变选了希奶，你就是民族英雄
如果你叛变选了别人，你就是性别歧视者，良心大大地坏
“And if this was a Hollywood movie, that’s how it would go: The electors,
overcome by their consciences and their desire not to see this country run
into the ground, would join together to give Hillary Clinton the presidency
that most people who actually voted wanted her to have. But this is the real
world, and instead it seems that the faithless-elector movement devolved
into sexist theatrics.
Early reports suggest that most, and possibly all, of the electors who
changed their votes on Monday (or tried to, anyway), were sent to their
state capitals to vote for Clinton. Two men, Muhammad Abdurrahman of
Minnesota and David Bright of Maine, tried to vote against Clinton in some
childish protest against her, apparently for believing that she should be
the Democratic nominee just because she got more votes than Bernie Sanders.
Abdurrahman was replaced with an alternate and Bright ultimately caved and
voted for Clinton.
Washington state allows electors to vote against the will of the electorate,
and four did just that, with three voting for Colin Powell and one for
Faith Spotted Eagle, an activist who is resisting the Standing Rock pipeline
construction.
Apparently, it’s not enough for some folks to see the first woman who had a
real shot at the presidency lose her bid. They also needed to kick her
while she’s down.”
