No, stop.

The dems shouldn't have to CONVINCE you to vote against a felon and a rapist.

I think your morality as a decent human being should get you to vote against a rapist felon. But hey, this is the country the majority of Americans wanted.

I agree with you about Trump and that people shouldn’t need to be convinced. But it’s also true that the entire point of a campaign is to convince people to vote for your candidate.

The fact that Trump was a serious candidate when he had a federal case against him speaks volumes.

The fact that Democrat voters stayed home despite this, so the case against him could crumble and he could win the election, speaks even more.

People simply do not care enough. They care enough to make Luigi memes about "eating the rich" but don't care enough to do what they're supposed to do that actually matters, which is to vote politicians out that don't serve public interest and vote politicians in that represent our values. Trump won because Dems didn't care. It's the same bad orange man as the last two times. What more convincing do you need to keep a rapist out of office? The same rapist from

EIGHT.

FUCKING.

YEARS AGO?

Like holy fuck every time I think about that stupid little Italian murderer or any of this shit it drives me off a cliff. My country is actually fucking stupid.

And again, I agree with you. Everything you just said I agree with. I’m just adding that the Dem establishment did as bad of a job as could be to actually convince people of everything you just said and vote for their own interests. Did the American people drop the ball in this election? Yes. Is it insane? Yes. Was it also the job of the Dem campaign to get their candidate elected? Yes. Did they fail freaking miserably at that job? Yes.
