Do you want continued racial divisiveness? Vote most of the current Dems. You want one world/globalism and Soros calling the shots? Vote most of the current Dems. You want the problems they experience in Europe right here in our own country? Vote the current Dems. You want politicians putting everyone first BUT Americans in the name of political correctness? Vote the current Dems. You want a continued flow of millions of illegals entering the country? Vote the current Dems.

Until people like you understand WHY the Dems lost, they'll keep losing. And guess what? Given the current dopes in DC - I'm okay with that.

I happen to hate both sides - they don't represent any of us, but until Democrats get their act together, I'll just sit right where I am in the middle.



Too late - see above....lol.
Yeah right! You voted for Obama twice!



Are you in the habit of voting in people who you consider "corrupt"?

Obama was more corrupt than Reagan & the Iran-Contra scandal that almost ended his presidency?
If not for Ollie North taking one for the "Gipper"?

Let's go thru your list of complaints :

racial divisiveness

America was founded as a slave nation so that divide has permeated our culture since the beginning.
By the way there isn't any racial divisiveness in the GOP especially when most of the party is of one color.
Race became a issue when the GOP saw it had to deal with our first black President.

world/globalism

This is the bastion of capitalism with free trade.
Are you opposed to capitalism?

continued flow of millions of illegals entering the country?

You are going to pin this on the Dems?
Dubya had control of Congress and the GOP did nothing on Illegal Immigration while in office.
Which President granted Amnesty to 3 Million illegals in the 1980's?

Fear.
Have to agree with you 100% here. There was a lot of fear out there during the campaign.

After 8 years of a disastrous Obama presidency, much of the voting public was scared sh*tless of what a Clinton presidency would bring. Concerned citizens were tired of watching the USA continue to decline into a liberal utopia. "Fear" is exactly what brought people to the polls. Apathy is what solidified a Trump victory.

I know there were other factors but this to me was the biggest factor even back when G.W JR was president.

If you said chocolate ice cream is the best flavor of ice cream, it's still just your opinion.

The FACT that Trump won means that he was the better candidate.

Agreed. He needed to tend to his personal life though; the timing was just bad.

World globalism
Globalism isn't capitalism. Globalism is the idea of a 1 world government, a suppression of free markets in favor of state markets. Much like the economy of Soviet Union. Or perhaps the EU.... Brexit was the result of globalism and the British tired of the nonsense and the manipulation. Globalism is no borders no national sovereignty.
