Maybe the fact that people need to be "energized" in order to fucking vote is the problem?

Like I'm sorry, but "you just didn't energize me enough" is not a valid excuse for anyone not to vote, ever. Just goes to show the depth of the average American voter. Just completely devoid of critical thought.

I'm so sick of authoritarian pricks pretending they get to decide what is and is not valid in our system. People not voting is valid and the DNC failed to get them to change their mind

Stop huffing copium and deal with reality

My favorite is the old standby, "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain."

The DNC has more power and resources to do something about it then I do. I can chew out individual people I meet, but I don't really have the logistical rouses to go around telling 160 million people that Trump would be worse.

And yes, the American voter lacks critical thought. It's something that takes a back seat to sports or job training in public education.
