    …I voted against my conscience because I knew orange would harm people I love. It wasn’t enough.

    correct! because something like 30 90 million Americans didn’t vote because they were told:

    • both sides are the same
    • nothing will change
    • two party systems don’t work

    what’s worse is that they believed the lies! so your vote lost impact because they couldn’t be bothered to vote.

    Dems didn’t offer anything compelling because they are a failed party that can only drive votes with threats of even worse.

    the threats didn’t come from the dems. they came from the magats. and guess what…they were credible threats! I guess those 30 90 million voters wished they had got off their fat asses and voted now.

    It’s pretty easy to not fund a genocide and lie and say it isn’t happening when it clearly is. Dems can blame only themselves for poor turnout.

    you make it sound easy but agreements between nations are anything but that. last time I checked both the dems and repubs were running the government…how convenient of you to forget that.

      What the fuck are you saying?

      both sides are the same

      That I didn’t vote because I knew trump was worse? I voted.

      the threats didn’t come from the dems. they came from the magats.

      “We’re fighting fascism,” or whatever they were saying. They didn’t convince enough people to vote for them.

      you make it sound easy but agreements between nations are anything but that. last time I checked both the dems and repubs were running the government…how convenient of you to forget that.

      Regan called the head (premiere, president, I don’t know) of Israel to tell them to calm down and the did. I’m not forgetting things. You don’t know history.

      Again:

      agreements between nations are anything but that

      Wait did I forget how he took us out of the Iran deal to limit their nuclear program?

      Grow up.

        That is the exact opposite of how it works. The deal limited their progress, Trump canceling the deal gave them free reign to continue unimpeded.
