Some voted for plutocrats because they still believe in the "self made man" and think they can be one, too. We ain't getting anyone from either of those sets (nor do we want them). But, some voted to throw a monkey wrench into the whole works because their government hasn't represented them since Reagan. That's the group we need (in the absence of the abolition of the electoral college) and that we can't regain the White House without. In 1964, 51% of registered voters were Democrats and 25% were Republicans. We purged our racists with Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act. By 1976 it was 46% Democrats, 22% Republican. In 2014 it was 32% Democrat, 23% Republican. Note that Republican registration actually moved up between 1976 and 2014 while Democratic registrations plummeted 14%. That final 14% we lost were Joe and Molly and we lost them because we started nominating Republicans who didn't represent them in place of Democrats who always had. Now we live with a Democratic Party that has observed their 20% drop in popularity and cries, "See, we can't run Democrats, we have to run Republicans!" When a genuine Democrat shows up, the Party pushes them out. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

It must be satisfying to know that you stood above the fray two years ago and declined to sully the purity of your vote by adding it to the Dread Butch Hillary’s popular total. I’m surprised you don’t wear a corset to contain your pride within reasonable bounds.

The futility of my vote is well documented. How'd voting for Hillary in the primary in California work out for you? You needn't answer. I told you how that would work out for all of us months before you cast your vote. So, thanks for that. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

We might not have done as well, in that event, as we might this November—assuming that we’re not ratfucked again. Those contradictions won’t heighten themselves unassisted, amirite?

We condemn the Russians for interfering in our election by means of using Facebook and other social media in exactly the manner in which it was intended. Ask yourself if the Russian effort could have come close to the success it had were it not for our very own inventions and the halting ignorance of our people. I don't mean to in anyway imply that I condone that interference and I firmly believe that while not the exclusive reason for the disaster of Trump's victory it had an impact - an arguably decisive impact. But leave us not forget to harshly condemn the teeming millions of toddling knuckle draggers addicted to social media in this country and the culture which makes billionaires of the likes of Mark "Lore" Zuckerberg (Lore was the evil twin android of Data in Star Trek if you're unfamiliar). If Facebook and Twitter weren't so pervasive and if the Murican Sheeple weren't so fucking daft as to spend inordinate amounts of time using social media and worse, believing anything they read on those platforms that conforms to their already existing biases and ignorance, the effect of "Russian hacking" would have been minimal if not non-existent. But we are that fucking stupid. And there's no fixing that kind of dumb. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
