Voter's have failed us. The Dems have failed us. The justice system has failed us.
Trump has highlighted the fragility of the system. The Dems have had multiple years to fix some of it. They did none. Then they ran a mediocre candidate in the same vein as Hilary, who failed against Trump before.
Voter's need to realise that if they disagree with the Dems, voting for the GOP is not necessarily a better option. Voting third party is worse than voting someone you disagree with.
The Dems need to realise that they won't get Republican voters to vote for them. They should try to excite and plan for the voters based on good policy. Trying to play both sides gets you neither side. Be progressive or leave the Dems and be a Republican. There is no moderates in either side when one side is not negotiating in good faith.
Let the voters choose between two alternative visions. Not one vision, or the same vision with a racist demagogue at the front.
It's scary times ahead. However, it's been scary times for years now, so we are all used to it. Maybe that's the problem. We all want change. Trump promises it. He's just promising disruptive change without a coherent plan. Where is the Dems coherent plan for change?
