    The Republican party deserves to die for allowing Donald Trump to rise to power. The Democrat party deserves to die for being useless to stop them. America needs a whole new fresh start with new parties

      or better yet, no parties at all and force some of our morons to actually learn their candidates beyond just party lines.

        Idk, I’d totally be in favor of ranked voting; with several parties that correspond to music genres where people could identify the party’s values based on vibes. Ex: Acid Polka Party, Nu Delta Blues Party, Hyper Uplifting Metal Party, etc.

      We were within 2% of stopping them. If you bastards had got on board, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

        Let’s blame the voters instead of our shit policy and campaign that promises them nothing much more than republican lite

          I blame the owners of news and social media. How can people make good decisions if they can’t perceive reality?

              I don’t understand what you could possibly mean by this comment. We, as in the American electorate, directly chose fascism. What the fuck do you mean that we will see it soon enough? We didn’t take the path you say also leads there eventually, the only way to tell where it leads is theory. We are never going to see the real world impacts of the choice we did not make.

          No fuck yes. Blame them.

          Are you saying that trump won because his policy and campaign was stellar.

          Trump won because his base acted instead of passively watching. They took over everything and all the left could say was “don’t roll with them something something pigs”

          The voters and especially the non-voters are to blame along with the politicians. Why shouldn’t they be responsible for voting against their own interests or sitting it out after having seen a Trump presidency?

      See, they thought they could control him, like they did Reagan, and Bush Jr. Bush Sr. went along willingly.

      But Trump is an overgrown 5 year old, and needs to feel he’s in charge. Like any typical narcissist.
