    They want you to be apathetic which lowers voter turnout on the left. Keep voting. Not just for the president either.

        Ever see a Democratic stronghold state? Guess what they all have codified into law?

          What you think is a better world, maybe. Democrats don’t do nearly enough to provide progress at the rate we deserve, they throw scraps to make it lesser of two evils. If you want incremental change, and usually 1 step forward and 2 steps back, then keep doing what you’re doing, dipshit
