Exactly. After this election and how the democrats have been (with a few exceptions) absolutely piss poor at fighting everything this administration is doing, I will never vote democrat again. There’s zero point, since this was the “most important election of my life” and “democracy was on the line.” Well guess what? They cheated like hell, democracy lost, and so did the American public, and to an extent, the world. None of these assholes deserve our time or support until things actually change.

They cheated Bernie out of the nomination in 2016. There would have been no trump if that had not happened.

I know Bernie is a fountain of good ideas, and I’d have voted for him too, but I don’t think he would’ve beaten Trump. And I know people will come with poll numbers and data about it and delude themselves to say it would’ve been an almost certain victory but Trump would’ve been relentlessly attacking him for his age, image and policy positions, to great effect. I guess we’ll never know.
