    This idea that this was the last election for the Democrats too was a losing argument.

    Thinking that the vote going the way you wanted would have just turned over a perfect world is lazy and unrealistic.

    Trump would not be a fading memory and is a direct symptom of the “keep going with the status quo” ignoring the issues policies we have had.

    A different performer would have taken his place and we would have to do it all again for people like you to pretend it would all be perfection as soon as we got the right centrist in to make everyone forget about their and the worlds issues.

    People complaining about the issues they face aren’t making them suddenly exist. People shutting up about your flaws don’t make them stop existing either. It just makes you even more ignorant to them.
