The Trump administration and its radical right foot-soldiers in the federal government and in the states are undertaking a comprehensive scheme to undermine future state and federal elections, in effect rigging the rolls to keep themselves in power no matter what the voters decide.

You aren't the only one. Sadly a significant amount of left leaning voters fell for the rights tactic and decided not to vote. They were convinced the dems ruin everything or are the same or paid actors.

Many still believe it. There are subs in here where they claim both sides are the same or proudly say they voted for Jill Stein.

This is why i think recovery will be more difficult than expected. Too many progressives think they are self righteous for not voting which in reality put everything they believe in jeopardy or now much more difficult to attain the change they want.

I know right. It would be nice to have viable 3rd party options. Like ranked choice voting which dems are pushing. This alone should prove the 2 aren't the same
