    You know politics isn’t like sports, right? You don’t identify with a team but instead you vote to get rid of cruel fatcat racists and replace them with people who will actually benefit the country.

        Like the majority of representatives and senators? Not to mention stopping the return of Mango Mussolini? Jeez, do we really have to spell this out for you?

          I was wondering who would actually benefit the country.

          (I dont see how that can ever happen until lobbyist bribery is utterly abolished and criminalized)

            Oh. Yeah in the US, the electoral system doesn’t really allow for that. All you can vote for is less evil, embodied by the Democratic party. I’ve been fortunate enough to experience different political systems, and I’m glad I can live elsewhere.

            Among a hoard of other career politicians, he is not solely responsible for Trump being elected in any way shape or form.

              No argument from me. It’s just a sentiment I’ve heard from other people. It’s not completely empty of reason, but I’d say it’s way down on the list, with the outdated electoral college, and the Republican undermining of education, far right vitriolic propaganda and dog-whisling for racists, nazis and christian nationalists being towards the top.
