What a thread. There are some serious pockets of the dem mindset in there.

It's been eight fucking years the total number of votes doesn't fucking matter. But the old chestnut is unkillable.

Yeah, she was a horrible candidate.

And yet--more people voted for her than the other guy. In any sane system that'd be a win.

"But it would be sweet..." but, oh, - the GOP are the boogiemen! Yeesh.

Same could be said of this election tbh. Dems don't tell us anything except 'we're not trump....isn't that enough?' it's not enough anymore.

I only vote blue but it would be sweet to see someone do something about the cost of living… or food prices… or the housing market… or insurance… or healthcare. I know it isn’t as simple as just doing something about it. Our representation is so inefficient, largely due to the total fucking morons running the right.

Trump is the boogieman.

She is wrong, though. People mad about this election are not egocentric. You can vote for Biden and understand Trump is awful while still loathing this broken system and the awful choices the establishment gives us. Hillary wants us to just shut up and fall in line

shut up and fall in line

The alternative is a man who literally said he's going to be a dictator - [I'm not going to be a dictator] "other than day one", [I won't abuse my power] "except for day one".

Vote for the person with the chance of winning who doesn't say he's going to be a dictator, and after you're done with that work on fixing the "broken system" and finding people who aren't "awful choices the establishment gives us".

This "I'm-too-pure-for-anything-but-perfection" mindset is going to get a dictator elected.

"Puck up that cracked vase and smash it on the ground, once you've done that you can worry about fixing the crack."

Do they actually not understand that telling people who think the system is broken to shut up and participate in the system is a bad strategy or do they genuinely just not give a shit.
