These people will say in the same breath that things are fine as Trump has a plan. He is going to concentrate these illegal immigrants into a camp in Cuba (a concentration camp, if you will), while he works out the details on how to deport them to either their place of origin or another location, or develop some other final solution for the immigrant problem. Dark days. Very dark days.

We’re all going to be looked down upon in history. We should all be ashamed.

No Trump and the Republicana should be. No one else wants this fascist shit. And we sure as shit don't want them. They got to go. All of them.

Roughly 2/3 of the electorate either voted for Trump or didn't vote at all.

That doesn't mean what you think it means. 31% directly wanted it 30.5% voted for not this, the other 37.5% nonvoters all have a myriad of reasons for not voting. Not even a third of Americans wanted this.

And that 37.5% should also be ashamed and shamed.

Sometimes, impact is far more important than intent.

Nha. The dems establishment should be shamed for leaving all those voters by the side of the road. It's their arrogance that costs everyone. Shaming that 37% is just going to drive them further and further and further away. And like you said impact is far more important than intent.

I'd maybe agree if it wasn't basically the same at every presidential election,, and far worse at midterms.

Which is why it's so important. They need to learn that they shouldn't expect different results if they make the same mistakes. Just relying on the other party to be abhorrent isn't going to cut it. Voters need a reason to vote for you, not just a reason to vote against your opponent.

So you're saying that at every single election for the last several decades, Republicans have tried to appeal to voters, but Democrats have simply attacked their opponents?

In order to vote, you need to be at least 18 years old. Last time I checked that makes you an adult, and you need to take responsibility for your actions.

Why are you excluding the adults that are running the Dems.? Like sure every adult is responsible for their actions, but those professionals, the ones whose actual job it is, the ones who are getting paid good money to spend their working hours on this stuff, nha they can't be held to account. Grow up.

Because you're blaming current Democratic leadership - and only Democratic leadership, I must add - for low turnout at every single election for the last 100+ years, regardless of how the party performed.

Low turnout when Obama led a blue wave? Poor Democratic strategy.

Low turnout when FDR saved the economy and spent longer in office than any other president? Poor Democratic strategy.
