I responded to Burbon's post below:

Fucking Suckers ...""
I asked what would be different if Hillary was President. That's not deflection it's a question based on his comment. HD made the decision to close their plant in 2015. Whoever is President today would have no bearing on that decision when it was made. I'm just trying to understand if it was stupid to vote for Trump what could Hillary have done about it. That's not a defense of Trump. I'm trying to understand someone today could have affected a decision made three years ago.
Yeah, well, your point is almost completely moot. Very few people based their voting decision on what would happen to this Harley plant. My biggest reasons for voting against Trump were I didn't want nuclear war, and that we need to do everything possible to reverse climate change. Whether or not a Harley plant offshores the jobs of their workers was not even on my radar as a metric. Personally, I saw Hillary as far more responsible and trustworthy than Trump. She was not my first choice, but rarely do we get to vote for that because we don't have Instant Runoff Voting like we should.
I believe in science.
The news is real.
