(4,407 posts)... yet you say beating Trump would be easy if the democratic party were united. That puts this post in GDP territory.
Why is the party divided? One campaign has been based on dividing the party as much as possible and to - and unify it later. One campaign went to great lengths to call any argument against it misgynist/sexist. Saying, "Trump is bad" doesn't erase all that stuff, plus there are some very real concerns that "Hillary is bad" and not about to do the country any good.
There have been some comments about "destroying the system." Why should people prop up a system that has been destroying them for decades? Income inequality is increasing fast. Hillary won't touch this and to think that she will is insanity. In the long (or not so long) term, the system will destroy itself, just as systems that prop up the rich and powerful more and more have been destroyed for millenia. Maybe it's time to chop off the festering, pus-ridden appendages and grow new ones. I won't vote for Trump, so maybe my "strategy" is to let the whole body die so something else can grow in its place.
