      No it’s not. People won’t participate in a system they feel only exists to harm them. If i am at a bar and one bartender says they are gonna kill me if i dont tip 50% and the other bar tender says that they’ll only rough me up a bit if i I don’t tip 30%, not getting a drink from either.

      People would rather not participate instead of legitimize a system that only does them harm.

        OK but the first guy is still going to kill you

        I’m really hoping that this wasn’t the reasoning people had for throwing the planet under the bus

          People have been screaming at you for 8 years that “Not Trump” is not a viable election strategy. You need to offer an actual, concrete alternative. Until the Democrats start actually offer real alternatives, they will continue to be shocked these results.

            I don’t need to offer anything. I’m from a country with a parliament, ranked choice voting, proportional representation. But if you still don’t get that not Trump should absolutely be better than “whatever, I guess”, you deserve what’s coming.
