    Why the hell is he getting mad at us anyway? He got everything he wanted. Joe WON. Does he think the GOP would be any less dangerous if Hillary had won in 2016? Was America so frail that 2 Republican terms was all that was necessary to ruin it? And how is that our fault?

      they think Trump is like a magic imp who was only released from his enchanted prison because Bernie tried to change things too fast, ignoring that Obama did jack shit for the previous eight years except cut black wealth in half and drone murder sixteen-year-old American citizens.

        It’s like a bad fantasy trope. The old man in a robe is holding the tether of prosperity. The evil prince stabs him with a wonky mall ninja dagger, ushering in an age of darkness. Meanwhile everyone is like “yeah this sucks but what happens if that old dude had just naturally died? Is that all I had between another good harvest and ashes and bones? Some old dude not dying? This seems like a bad system.”
