(26,068 posts)the worst candidate in history with plenty of us so weighted down with clothes pins and Fabreeze that we could barely fit in the voting booth.
Don't dare presume that all those votes are an endorsement particularly when the opposition was off the meter unacceptable.
In the big picture from bottom to the top, there are substantial problems and if my vote helps blind others to them then in the face of losing anyway I cannot help but to deeply regret it, I and likely millions of others have done nothing but added fuel for hubris and wrong-headedness in a desperate effort to mitigate harm to our country but actually only serve to prevent all hope of cure.
We are a minority in both houses and we control six states to their like thirty-four or so and you think "AT MOST" minor tweaks are required?
I guess only complete blow outs both electoral and popular along with what surrendering every Mayor's office and City Council along with everything else will clue some folks in.
They almost have a Constitutional amendment level governing majority and people are playing the Black Knight, "it just a pin prick!"?
Are you serious?
