This is after all a political forum, and people who come here are politically involved.
Hugely on point, it's not just Hillary's election that was subverted.
People may not have noticed, but issues discussion here has devolved into petty intra-party brangling about how much healthcare reform we should have right now.
What happened to the giant issue of economic equality -- the huge issue that threatened to unite left and right against those wannabe kleptocrats? We all agree 100% on the need to fix this existential threat to democracy and our own well-being. But we didn't decide to abandon this issue, the national conversation, and DU's, were subverted. And we were carefully and deliberately turned on ourselves, some requiring almost no effort at all.
