2016 wasn’t due to voters failing to meet their obligation to vote for a warmonger that offered them nothing and whom they cannot influence, it was due to the democrats running a campaign of “American is already great” when most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and have very little reason to expect things to improve.
It’s gonna repeat unless the democrats demonstrate that voting for them is worth missing a day’s work.
this is bs. that was not at all the democratic message. It was a combo of the primary shanigans, treating it like a forgone conclusion (because trump winning is as crazy as britian leaving the EU), and trumps shotgun statements like around legalization. Granted I held my nose and voted but I know why he won. I hate all the idiots who resulted in his win, which to be clear I am talking about people who voted for him and not the stupid democrat elite bullshit. Its like. Oh yeah I will vote for the ressurected hitler or at least not vote for the democrat because that will show him. I mean its not like im going to have to live with the consequences of the election in the country I live.

Voting for them is worth it, if only not to have that psycho fascist known as Trump as your president.

Also worth remembering that Trump did lose the popular vote.
Which could only happen with Republicans in modern politics. They are HUGELY systemically advantaged and yet still cry foul at every opportunity.
