      Ok fair. I guess the better question is, shouldn’t that be enough?

        It was enough for me. It was not enough for people who heard one guy talking about issues that mattered to them (albeit by offering bullshit solutions that don’t actually address the problems) and another saying “well, we aren’t that guy and everything is getting better” when people felt like it wasn’t getting better for them. There was not enough of a positive platform presented for progressives to support and too much targeting of Republicans that don’t like Trump. They obviously targeted the wrong audience.

          You’d rather have Trump than not-Trump?

                  Blocking someone doesn’t shut them up. It’s just plugging your own ears.

                    Ordering people to doesn’t either.

        If you assume American voters are rational and educated then, yes, it should be enough.

        But you know what they say about making assumptions: It makes an ass out of U and gets a fascist elected.

          Yep. Our voting population is as dumb as always and more susceptible to propaganda than ever.
