    While this is a large part of it, a significant thing I think is that you get a lot more enthusiasm voting for something than against something. If she was campaigning for things I didn’t hear it above the constant “orange shit is an orange shit”.

    A number of terrorist bomb threats to predominantly democratic polling locations in swing states and other fuckery may have also played a role.

            False choice dilemma.

            Democrats need to swallow their pride and arrogance and admit to themselves that they shouldn’t be going solo against the republicans.

            Do away with First Past The Post voting in blue states and let more players onto the field. This fight is bigger then the democratic party.

              Well start figuring out how to get it as a ballot measure in your state now then do what’s left of our democracy a favor, swallow your pettiness and vote for the lesser evil until you get RCV in your area.

              Greens and other parties are only doing favors for the facists as things stand right now.
