I love how this is painted entirely as the fault of people who chose not to vote, and not the fault of the Democrats who seem to try their best to run the shittiest possible candidate. If Democrats would have run a candidate that was worth voting for, maybe more people would have turned out to vote for their candidate.
The gap between Hillary’s popular vote win and Trump’s electoral college win is the biggest gap in US history. We’ve never had so many votes ignored. I agree with you the voters aren’t too blame.
Every nation has the government it deserves. Individuals, on the other hand, good people — they always get fucked. There’s no escape from the mediocrity and subhumanity of the masses.
Trump lost the popular vote in 2016. What more would you have us do? We’re past the point of voting being the only thing you have to do to resist, and we’re past the point of individuals being responsible for where we are. Levers are being pulled that the public and voters have no control over. If you’re not in an organization that opposes fascism in some way, you’re not doing enough.
The point is, Hillary won the popular vote. By a lot. That’s the only thing that should matter in a democracy. We’ve been robbed of our agency and self-determination. We’re past the point where voting alone can make a difference. They won. They finished their fascist foundation, they have shielded themselves from accountability and consequence, they have given themselves the power of fiat at almost every level. This was always their plan, and it’s time we seize back everything that was stolen from us.
She was shady. She was manipulative. I saw it firsthand during the Iowa caucuses of 2016 when she sent out a guide on “how to run a caucus” with a bunch of stuff that was intentionally misleading to favor an establishment candidate.
Not suggestions, misinformation. Like it lied about how a caucus should be run, lied about what happens in a disagreement, lied about how delegates have to vote. Like someone in our precinct ended up calling the Iowa DNC to confirm that information that Clinton’s campaign provided was wrong.
She’s generally dislikable. Calling anyone who doesn’t like her a sexist is an example of the attitude that continues to help the Republicans win elections.
It’s clear that you didn’t understand the meme nor do you understand this community. I’ll make this clear, you cannot win in a rigged system. On top of that when the Democrats win we get jerks like Genocide Joe (btw any genocide sympathetic comments will be removed).
The Democrats are complicit. The Republicans are at least forthcoming with their goals. “We’re going to burn this shit to the ground”. Whereas the Democrats are like “vote for this corporatist candidate that nobody likes or we’ll let the Republicans burn this shit to the ground”.

This community is designed to argue the system should be changed not which fascist sucks slightly less.
People from world don’t like that kind of thinking sadly
Liberals have no place here
Good. Just hope they don’t start a crusade against this comm like they do against others :(
That’s why I’m so heavy on the moderation. They’ll absolutely derail any community if given the opportunity.
I know some people probably get caught in the crossfire though, and I feel bad about that.
A valid argument

You weren’t robbed of it, you never had it.
In 2016 Democrats ran a widely disliked neoliberal through a heavily biased primary and wonder why they lose.

“BTW anyone who disagrees with me will be censored”
Great debate skills there, Hass.
This is NOT a debate community
We don’t want debatelords here
