    But we’re still gonna pick the non-dictator option by a huge popular vote margin. The other 40% are cheering the dictator.

    The problem it’s the swing state morons, who either don’t bother voting or “protest” vote for some third party and end up enabling the fucking dictator. Those are the only possible sleepwalkers. And there really aren’t that many of them.

      enabling the fucking dictator

      Do you think it’s ironic how Hillary was so willing to drive them away by calling them deplorables, yet it only enabled them further by sloganizing the fact the Democrats hate them? I don’t see the rationality in both accepting you need more voters in these swing states, while simultaneously pushing them further away. Seems like this is part of the downward spiral.

        Hillary Clinton was a fucking horrendous candidate and represented everything wrong with the Democrats. They should have put an honest to god progressive up there.

          The Democrat superdelegates didn’t want Sander because he threatened to alter the economic arrangement of Democrat donors, aligning instead with popular politics. Hillary was more of a Democrat vision than a viable candidate. Biden is too but he succeeded relative to Trump’s failure.
