    That kind of talk is why Trump won.

      As a Canadian, I honestly believe your election was rigged and has been since 2000.

      Corporations own your country, it’s very obvious. The only way you can influence your government at this point is collective action which will never happen cause you have iPhones to use to get your anger out.

      In swing states, yes. But for the majority of americans not in a swing state, their gripes are at least somewhat valid thanks to gerrymandering.

        Gerrymandering has been a huge problem for a while, what makes you think this time it played a pivotal role in Trump’s victory? If that was the case, he would have won the electoral vote but not the popular vote, but he won the popular vote, first Rep pres to do so in 20 years apparently. It helped secure past Rep presidencies, but doesn’t to have done so this time around.

        Lack of resistance is why Trump won. Democrats are part of that, but the blame hardly lies on them alone.

        Votes do matter, they’re just not enough on their own.
