Keep yelling at those who are so tuned out that they can't care enough to give a fuck about who's running the country. Keep making excuses for the Democrats' decade of mediocre complacency. I'm sure things will change.

What is important is the next steps. It is obvious that the left will not win unless we are unified. Go volunteer, use these next four years to try to create the Democratic party you want to see. Make them reliant on your help and use that to push the items you are passionate about. Or you can sit on the outside and watch this country fall while complaining that the people who are actually doing something aren't doing enough.

You do, of course, understand that presenting this as a trolley problem implies not voting is a justifiable choice?

Get out and vote! Just this time. You won't have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore.

Voter turnout was the second highest since women got the right to vote. Voters came out and narrowly voted for Trump in seven key states. Many didn't like him, but didn't believe that the Dems actually cared about their issues. And while Trump is crass and wish he were nicer, at least life during his presidency wasn't bad for them.

This was the most important election in our life time and the best the Democrats could do was pick the next person in line.

They will stick with "I'm not Trump!" even when it's not Trump running
