It is in fact both the voters' and the democrats' fault. The democrats should have been less poo poo and the voters should have voted against the horrible orange idiot.

check the hot new marilyn manson single: "trump voters weren't racist they were economically anxious (and also both sides same)"

it's weird because the title has nothing to do with the track, but it's kind of vintage manson, getting back to his roots

Nah. If the Democratic party is too right wing for someone they don't owe them anything. These same people can work within the party to pull them in a direction they desire and pull them to a place where they want to vote for them.

Most of the voters did!

Amd the % turnout was between 2008 and 2012 levels, so it wasn't a crazy outlier.

What's crazy is how many Obama voters flipped to Trump, during a time when Obama had high approval ratings no less. Those people are some super stupid motherfuckers.

Nobody owes the Democrats their vote. Trump being president is a failure of the Democratic party to provide a candidate and a platform that appealed sufficiently to voters.

Hot take: When your options are 'vote for the Democrat to save millions of people from metaphorical and literal death at the hands of an orange fascist and his Randian friends' or 'don't vote for the democrat' maybe people do, in fact, owe Democrats a vote.

If people can channel their Steve Austin like anger into educating apathetic non voting Americans on the importance of the down ballot, we might be able to avoid a second term. Instead it's being spent copy and pasting sick owns in a thread in a sub forum, dang.

People owe their vote to the people who are going to get screwed and killed by the administration, not to a party. Thankfully that isn't you, so why should you care about other people's suffering when you can make a political statement?

If you think the Democrats platform was progressive I'm not sure what to tell you. It's irrelevant what my dissatisfaction is with the Democrats anyway with regards to why the people they needed to vote for them didn't.
