Some Trumpers have apologized for their part. Have 3rd party or non-voters started apologizing yet?

26. I don't mean to sound rude, but who cares?

As a political party the responsibility is always on US to earn people's votes. If we fail to do that, then no matter how much we think the public were wrong, or stupid, or deluded, or bad, its still our own fault for not putting forward a more convincing vision than the other side did.

Obviously when the table is rigged it makes that job harder, and sometimes even impossible (as many great young politicians quickly discover when they run against rich, connected incumbents), but at the national level we simply havent been doing enough to pull in enough voters in the right places.

Any time the finger starts being pointed at the voters, its a clear sign that we're not learning from our mistakes. All it ever achieves is further alienation, and makes our job even harder.

Politics is marketing. Our product is a better, fairer, more equal country. You might hate the marketing side, but without it your product will never end up in the hands of Americans.
