I love how this is painted entirely as the fault of people who chose not to vote, and not the fault of the Democrats who seem to try their best to run the shittiest possible candidate. If Democrats would have run a candidate that was worth voting for, maybe more people would have turned out to vote for their candidate.

The gap between Hillary's popular vote win and Trump's electoral college win is the biggest gap in US history. We've never had so many votes ignored. I agree with you the voters aren't too blame.

Every nation has the government it deserves. Individuals, on the other hand, good people — they always get fucked. There’s no escape from the mediocrity and subhumanity of the masses.
