I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don’t, you weren’t paying attention.

Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton’s campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we’re being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election “We’re about to get Brexited.” I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980’s.

Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They’re the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump’s mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.

    There hasn’t been a single time a republican has won the popular vote since like 1988 except the one time there was a fake war behind em.

      Bush Sr. won the popular vote in 88 and Reagan won the popular vote in both 84 and 80. You’re right about 2000 and 2016 but let’s not exaggerate.

      I’m pretty sure the war was real, millions of dead Iraqis would probably agree (if they weren’t dead).

      I think you may mean the justifications for the war were fake.

      Because the war was very, very real.
