    Or, and please hear me out, because you’re not going to like it.

    The Republican party are directly responsible for putting Trump as the nominee.

    The people who voted Republican are directly responsible.

    The Democrat party are indirectly responsible by presenting such a poor-looking alternative. “We’re not Trump” is not enough.

    The people who chose not to vote are the least responsible of all.

    You’re directing your anger in the wrong direction. It’s the corruption within the system you need to be tearing down, not some poor sod on the internet.

    What’s the plan - to scare them into voting the way you want in the next election? To argue with and win over the millions of extra voters the Democrats needed?

    The problem isn’t with the people who saw that both sides were bad options - it’s with the Democrat party for being a bad option.

      They just want internet points and the brief satisfaction of feeling smug by being a piece of shit to someone online.

        I’m getting lots of downvotes. The Principal Skinner meme comes to mind.

        Is the Democratic Party at fault?

        No, the millions of people who didn’t want to vote for the Democratic Party are to blame.

          It will never cease to amaze me when these people blame the voters, instead of blaming the people with the power, the platform, and the money for where we are today.
