Stop voting for "change".

The bitterness of people who don't like that Trump won is astounding.

I am very disappointed in you, Final-Fan. You should have used this thread to call out people who keep voting for the same party out of habit as well, because they too fall into the category of people who do not care to inform themselves.

Well, this is a problem as well, but there's a counterargument that those people would make about how their party in general better represents their interests or vision for the future or whatever.  Even if they're just mindlessly voting for "their team" in truth, they have a fallback argument that is very hard to discredit. 

These guys I'm talking about are just saying, "I don't know or care about the proposals, I just want a fresh face even if he could be Hitler reborn for all I know."  Press them on it and their only defense is "Change." 

Am I going after the easier target?  Sure.  But this soon after an election fight like this, pointing out the problem of mindless partisanship is just going to devolve into partisans mindlessly pointing fingers at their equal opposites as the entire problem.  There's probably no good time to have that conversation, but this time seems especially unlikely. 

(On a related note, all those guys walking around in protest of Trump being elected are good examples.  It's going to accomplish exactly nothing.  He got in legitimately, and it's not like they're going to convince him to resign.  I was ardently against Trump, and if I lived in an area having those protests I'd be tempted to mount a counter-protest saying "Get over it!")
