The Democrats are a garbage party. Had they ran a candidate that even "pretended" to care about those voters? Perhaps we're not discussing this.

This isn't rocket science. But I mean by all means, keep insulting vast swathes of the population "stupid". Not like you need them to win an election of anything.

People like you disgust me more than any Trump supporter ever could.

They fully know this. But they did it in a manner to put the dems on notice. That's the loving point. The Dems have so badly abandoned the working class in those states that they were left with no options.

Its almost as if our two party system, where both parties are corrupt and have terrible policies, is stifling any real change that could put power in the hands of the people instead of corporate interests. It's also if any attempt to change that gets snuffed out by the same people gaining the most from being at the head of both lovely stupid parties.

Tell me what other option did those people have.

"VOTE HILLARY" was not going to work.

A 3rd party vote would have been the only other option.

It's a sort of anti-charisma and it's quite remarkable.

The gender-swapped presidential debates were great at showing this.

I made this same analogy way back before the election:

Trump is the beer bottle

Yeah, I heard this line of reasoning from a lot of people. They didn't like Trump, but were willing to take a risk on someone who at least pretended people were more than tools to get into the white house and might do any number of batshit crazy things if elected.

He seemed to piss off the elites in both parties. He was rude, crude, and mercilessly insulted his way through the carefully groomed bluebloods during the primaries. Of course you would vote for him if you hated the Washington ruling class.
