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.
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.
You can, if you want to feel all warm and fuzzy inside about your ethical choice when Trump becomes President. No amount of posts or news will get a third-party candidate national majority in the next four months. Especially with so many people aware that Jill Stein is a Russian shill.
I made that mistake, along with many Americans in 2000, and protested Bush’s response to 9/11 as a result of Gore’s loss.
This is Democrat bullying, “vote for the candidates that we say to vote for or we’ll let the Republicans destroy the country”. If your only options are two different brands of bad, then democracy is already dead.

Complaining about the electoral college is a different argument altogether
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 :(
Ah yes. From world. I’ve heard of it.
Who’s disagreeing the system should be changed?
A valid argument
Indeed.
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.

Or crazy thought you can vote third party

jill stein is not a russian shill, but the third way is a pentagon shill, so maybe don’t link liberal war-hawking here.
Do you prefer NBC?

this does not support the claim she is a Russian shill. if anything, it shows the Russians are Jill shills.
gore didn’t lose because of the votes. the supreme court picked the winner.
