      We’ve never had a government that put the needs of the people ahead of the wants of the rich. The closest we had was FDR, and even he only pushed the New Deal to stop us from demanding an even better deal.

      Are you under the impression 1/3 of Americans made academic decisions to protest poor candidates by not voting?

      1/3 of Americans didn’t vote because they’re uneducated, lazy slobs. Stop fooling yourself.

        Why are you complicating things? Whos taking about academia? If people don’t see candidates that inspire them they stay home. This is pretty basic. The uneducated lazy slobs came out in droves for Trump whos vote share kept increasing, so why is it the uneducated slobs that dont like Trump didnt? Don’t fool yourself thinking all the slobs stayed home but also managed to vote for Trump. One group was inspired by the hate, and one group was uninspired by the lack of resistance.

          So you truly believe that 1/3 of American voters didn’t vote in protest?
