    Republicans are lost causes. Principled non-voters had some capacity for rational thought left, at least in theory, and thus should’ve been open to seeing reason.

      How about we make a party that represents people rather than corporate interests? Then you might actually attract people who refuse to support corruption.

      Sincerely, someone who has barely brought themselves to vote for shitty candidates they didn’t want to be president 3 times in a row.

      Could say the same about the Democratic Party leadership, but apparently not.

      Could also take into account that Pew polls found that even if everyone voted Trump would have still won, but then I guess that wouldn’t allow for berating a scapegoat. That’s much less scary than confronting that you live in a society that actually wants fascism.
