re: #203 Patricia Kayden

Agreed. President Obama beat McCain and Romney quite handily. I don’t see Trump beating him at all. Trump was able to beat Secretary Clinton because some on the left had an irrational hatred of her. I have friends who told me that they hated her but held their noses and voted for her anyways. Sadly, too many purity ponies refused to vote and allowed Trump to win the Electoral College.

And they did a lot to convince people that there was no difference between the candidates, why bother to vote at all. Apathy and indifference are the most effective forms of voter suppression.
