    “Probably” why he lost a supermajority? Do you hear yourself?

    The link you provided showed the priorities of an administration that could not wave a wand and solve that problem, meanwhile greater problems (like the entire economy melting down) did exist so you split hairs about what could have been. Obama suffered so much from this “status quo” that he got re-elected? Notice the link I sent showed you were recycling the same false talking points that Romney had, you know him, the guy that voters didn’t elect…

    Keep focusing on Obama’s campaign promises while republicans make no promise beyond hurting people, so you achieve what? And that’s Hillary’s fault?

    I agree that the Democratic Party could do more to inspire voters, but voters are also responsible for whining about inspiration while fascism knock on their door. “Shame” is the label that idiots would give to excuse, to explain, their own BS while allowing others to pursue evil. If you think it’s Hillary’s fault you deserve shame as much as you shirk involvement or understanding in the overall process.

    “Breaking promises” is a literal excuse. The type of excuse you accused me of making. The reality is that making the excuse of “breaking promises” like you’re a jilted lover is a matter of interpretation such that anyone leveraging that crap is clearly absolving themselves of poor civic understanding. So now, we all suffer trump because of morons’ understanding of “status quo”.

    Ike honestly I agree with you that democrats should have put forth a more compelling choice, but to say Hillary just isn’t compelling enough in the face of trump is really a statement of ignorance over civic involvement. Anyone who didn’t vote and let trump take the office should be just as ashamed as those who voted for fascism. They didn’t make the informed choice, nor did they make the right one. “Learning from 2016” shouldn’t mean running Hillary again, but it’s fucking stupid to think that “learning from 2016” has to mean electing republicans “because of my feelings…”

      Calm down. I said “probably” because failures can’t be pinned down to only one thing, but failure to deliver is a pretty damn major factor. You need to hear people other than yourself, because you keep talking about electing republicans when no one has suggested this is what we do. It’s all in your head. If you want to keep insisting that “everything was fine” and that shaming voters into voting will win elections, then I don’t know what to say other than that you should learn how to gain voters because that ain’t it.

      Don’t forget than Hillary’s team made the ingenious move of doing what they could to make Trump the republican nominee: https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/

      So yeah, stop shaming and blaming others when the drooling morons running the democratic party make the stupidest moves at every opportunity and refuse to operate any differently because they’re “tHe mOsT qUaLiFiEd EvEr” and “tHe StAtUs QuO iS fInE” and “wE nEeD tO rEaCh AcRoSs ThE aIsLe” and “mUh dEcOrUm”.

        Ok let’s make this as simple and no-caps as you can handle…

        You are citing “a failure to deliver” as an excuse. Remember that excuses are what you tried to place on others. While also saying shit is too hard for you to pin down? Again you said “probably”

        In a 2 party system you keep acting like there is a 3rd way that doesn’t equate to fascism. You call the democrats drooling morons… meanwhile republicans can’t even elect a speaker. So you ignore the alternative in every chance, and it just so happens that it means you get to demean democrats. I’m not sure why you ignore the political cause of most every problem you cite, but it always seems to add up to you pissing on democrats…

        That just shows everyone the limits of you and and your “argument”. You never once get to the source of your problems while assigning blame to one party and one party only. In any reply you’ve offered so far have you ever explained how republicans could possibly share blame? Spoiler alert! - no you have not in any comment or reply.

        So because this is BS… I should probably ignore it… but here the internet is… with you acting like other people are “backwards”.
