| RolStoppable said: The bitterness of people who don't like that Trump won is astounding. I am very disappointed in you, Final-Fan. You should have used this thread to call out people who keep voting for the same party out of habit as well, because they too fall into the category of people who do not care to inform themselves. |
This is true, and the terrible closed primary system results in the most rabid party-line voters choosing the candidates for the D and R tickets. So you end up with much less of a chance in finding someone who represents a balance. The GOP in particular had a lineup so bad recently with people trying to out-wingnut each other that it was laughable, and to be honest, only Sanders made the Democrat lineup any less insane.
I'm okay with Trump until he gives me a reason not to, in terms of real policy and action. As yet, all we've had is yet another ugly election cycle with people freaking out, same shit different year higher volume. I didn't support him, but I'm not crying either. If you could tell me I could either replace the entire Senate and Congress, or replace the POTUS and staff, I'd choose the former 100 times out of 100. It's much more powerful by far, and of course it still has the same full stock of lifetime politicos that take their marching orders from elite interests. Maybe 1 in a hundred has the ghost of a care about the average citizen, the rest are only in it for money/power/influence.
