  • The preference is for a candidate with an appealing platform. US politics often does not have that and is 100% relying on rejection of the other candidate. The American voting system sucks completely. The democratic party should hold true to their name and at the very least hold fair primaries before every election. And make the primaries fair so everyone votes at the same time, and losers can’t decide where their votes go and spoil other options.


  • I don’t think it’s that different, actually. People have been dying for new policies that benefit real voters instead of corporate interests, but no luck. The democratic party establishment is in the way and has been for decades.

    Also, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t blame people for not voting blue to stop fascism even if they don’t like the blue candidate, and at the same time say the votes are proof that the blue candidate was the right pick. If wasn’t and that’s why they lost. Don’t blame the voters there wasn’t more enthusiasm, maybe try to have an actual platform next time
