Fuck every one of you assfucks who said it didn't matter who won in 2016.

62. I would put money on that there were DUers who either didn't vote in the 2016 general election,

or who voted for a third party candidate. They may not, likely would not or are ashamed of admitting it now, but they're here.
When a rational person is presented with a perceived choice between bad and worse, and it will with certainty be one or the other, they do what they can to make sure that worse does not prevail.
There is no way that Clinton and Trump were equally bad because she never would have nominated someone like Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
None of this ever needed to happen, yet America will suffer for it.

As long as we have people on the Left who insist on making the Democratic Party tent as small and pure as possible, who disparage and put down those who have counted themselves as Democrat for years as "DINOs" or "Republican Lite" because they are not sufficiently Liberal enough, then the GOP will prevail.
The simple fact is that there are states and districts where a Liberal Democrat will never be elected but a conservative one might. But that conservative Democrat counts towards the Democrats controlling whatever body they are elected to serve so Democrats can set the agenda for that body. I don't know why this is such a difficult concept to grasp.
