I'll say something controversial: Clinton and Harris were both better options than the guy who started his campaign mocking a reporter's disability. If voters had any sense it should've ended right there. The rationalizing, the "corrupt DNC" arguments and everything else is a cop-out.

Here's a real controversial opinion: If Clinton had won, the eventual backlash would be much greater and have elected a far more odious figure than Trump. America is lucky that Trump is kind of a bumbling oaf that channeled populist rage.

  Maybe the backlash would've been in Congress, through the election of more extreme figures on the right and left.

  That kind of normalises Trump, which is totally the wrong thing to do. You should not accept this as fact, nor should you tolerate this current regime. Doing so without protest is the biggest problem you have. Your defeatism is a self fulfilling prophecy.

      Simplified: —— GP: “You’re lucky you’re dealing with an incompetent bully. Imagine a competent bully.” Me: “You should not accept bullying at all.” You: “what about…” —— People like you are a huge part of the problem. Elect competence.

  Disagree. Trump has done way more damage than Clinton ever could have. The backlash would’ve been similar to post Obama cuz the racists are also the sexists.

    Yes, you are correct, everyone who doesn't like your preferred political candidates is racist and sexist.
