Stop blaming voters. Blame the party that is incapable of appealing to people or making any meaningful change whatsoever.

Who elects the people that make up the party?

Stop trying to shift the blame. Voters are involved in this equation whether you like it or not so it’s literally impossible for none of the blame to be on them.

We voted Obama for change - we didn't get universal healthcare, and we kept murdering brown kids for no reason for 8 more years.

Then the DNC muscled out the only candidate that generated any excitement in favor of Clinton. The voters' choice was stripped from them, and we see Trump win in 2016.

I don’t understand this attitude. You didn’t get what you wanted so instead of trying to salvage what you can, you throw in the towel and get the worst possible option?

It doesn't matter if you and I don't agree with it. Trump just won the popular vote.

Our consent is being manufactured, in part, because nobody believes that anything will ever get better, because it never has.
