Thanks, I honestly want expecting that kind of a response.

I'm sure there are some who voted out of protest, but only someone who identifies as a Democrat/leftist would vote for Trump out off protest.

Another reason I've heard is that Trump doesn't try to hide his bad side. Democrat (read: neoliberal) policies tend to favor corporations over individuals, and homeowners over renters. Guess which race is more likely to own home and have a stock portfolio?

sorry, i read my previous comments and they’re pretty aggressive. i am so raw and scared right now and i just want to scream.

the democrats have one path back to power: making a serious commitment to fixing the extreme inequalities that exist between groups: black and white, urban and rural, rich and poor.

the status quo that the democrats built and maintained created the conditions that led to trump. if the democrats were, you know, better, maybe none of this would have happened.
