    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.

        Complaining about the electoral college is a different argument altogether

        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.

      If republicans thought that way they wouldn’t have a Supreme Court majority.

      I’ve been voting for decades. I rarely get to vote for a candidate I truly support. Most of the time I vote for the candidate that is closer to what I want than their opponent. It’s the unfortunate nature of the two-party system, but I never let my power to vote go unused.
