    I’m pretty sure the ninety million people that didn’t vote had something to do with it also.

      It did.

      Do you feel those 90 million were supposed to vote Dem?

      If so, by what mechanism?

      Certainly not magic. Certainly not out of some obligation to the DNC or Democrat leaders those 90 million clearly don’t have.

      The responsibility to move those 90 million towards a vote for a Democrat were the Democrats themselves.

      Yet in their failure to do so, they now blame those 90 million voters for not listening to them. Instead of the very clear fact those 90 million are just too poorly educated to understand what Democrats are even saying.

      Those 90 million choosing not to vote quite literally proves my point that Democrats blame others for their mistakes, instead of learning from them.

      Dems want to believe this country is in a condition where they don’t need to talk at a 5th grade level to get through to the majority of people. But the sad truth is that Trump talking like that won him two elections.

      Don’t blame those 90 million just because they voted for an idiot. Blame the Dems for not being able to dumb their policies down enough for the majority of this country to understand that they have a better option.

      They will continue to lose elections until they do.

      Has there ever been an American election where like 30% of people don’t ignore it?

      Has any election in human history had the vast majority of people turn out without it being compulsory?
