    They listened to their voters. It was a primary election. Not sure what the disconnect is here unless its your fantasy disconnected with reality.

      The disconnect is obvious to me, but to spell it out: They were terrible candidates that the majority of General Election voters didn’t want. Those voters made that quite clear before the primaries, and were ignored. Then the Primary Election voters got behind the bad choice anyway.

      But General Election voters had already abandoned the Democrats, and rightfully so. The Primary Vote was only among those that were willing to vote for whatever terrible candidates the DNC pushed on them.

        I’m a consequential, so by saying this you’re just admitting to being a conservative cuck and a Trump supporter as a consequence of your actions.

          I’m not sure what a “consequential” is, but I’m not a Trump supporter, nor am I a conservative. I proudly voted against him.

              Your actions support Trump. Your words promote him.

              If you are not on my team, you are the enemy. If you are not on my team hard enough, you are the enemy. If my team does not win it is not their fault, but yours, as you are the enemy.

              Why are people not voting “correctly”? Don’t they know my team are the good guys? Don’t they know they are supposed to like my team?

                  I live in a nation with first past the post, its not great but you know what helps? More then two parties. You americans think your broken system is not only common but the standard. It is not.

                    Having more than two parties can actually be harmful unless you first change the first past the post, because the parties that hold your stances will have their votes split between them.
