    My take is that there are a lot of Left people who won’t vote for anyone except a candidate they support 100%. Hilary Clinton should have destroyed Trump. Those people ignore the simple truth that any time any GOP gets elected the whole country moves to the right.

        There are two sides. The Right and everyone else. The Right wins because they stay on topic and vote. Until the rest of us fall in line like they do, they’ll keep on winning. Show me where I’m wrong.

          There is an evil witch that lives underground in the Moon and who is mind-controlling non-Rightwing votes in the US so that they don’t vote. Show me were I’m wrong.

          The easiest thing in the World is to come up with a wild-ass theory without backing it with any evidence and then demanding others disprove it - I do believe that’s even a 4chan special.

            Donald Trump won the election in 2016 over Hilary Clinton. How much more evidence do you need that people should have done more to defeat Donald and the GOP?

              That’s as much “evidence” for your original “two sides” theory as it is for my “witch in the Moon” theory.

              Also you’ve moved the goalposts to a self-fullfilling and generic to the point of uselessness statement “people should have done more to defeat Donald and the GOP”.

              That’s like saying that “all drivers in car crashes should have done more not to crash their cars”.

              Well, true, but also about as worthless as “insights” go as “the sky is blue”.

                Let’s turn it around.

                What’s your plan? How do you propose to get Trump out? Be very specific.

                  Trump is a symptom, not the disease.

                  By worring so much about the puppet instead of the puppet masters, you’re playing into the hands of the handful of people who control the politics of the US and hence the US.

                  Go after the real power of the land: the ultra-wealthy.

                  A General Strike would be a good start.

                    lol! You demand specifics and plans, and then throw out two words. “General strike.”

                    Details, please. Who is the leader? What is the date? What are your demands? How are you going to handle invalids and homebound folks who need food and meds delivered? Schools open or close?
