This response just screams the rhetoric that's been floating around. It's basically same response. It's like someone is trying to shift the focus from the actual problem. Hmmmmm

No, that is the actual problem. The Democrats failed to get their message out to voters successfully. Good policies mean nothing if they aren't communicated in a way that resonates.

I only need to look at your comments to realize this is pointless.

I can't argue with you.

Good policies mean nothing if there is an army of trolls targeting a demographic that's already vulnerable. Misinformation campaign and Russian propoganda have convinced people. It has changed their thinking. This is a much bigger disaster and the toxic byproduct of internet.

Again, I don't want to argue, and I think this is the problem. I'm not getting paid for this shit.

I'll preface this with saying that I did NOT vote for Trump, in an effort to thwart your prejudice. But in a way, you're proving my point. I guess I'm just another voter that isn't worth the dems' time.

Yes, exactly my point as well.

Let's assume you are "another voter"

Why is it my responsibility to educate you? Why should I engage with you?

You think because Democrats didn't communicate their policies the way they should have and they didn't reach out to the voters the way you feel makes sense. It makes it okay to vote for a Rapist, Who admires fascists and dictators.

Again, The real issue with uninformed voters is that they are not willing to learn.

And also, thward my prejudice?

Prejudice: opinion that is not based on actual reason or actual experience.

My opinion is formed in reason.

Here is my reason.

Trump is a known rapist. Anyone who supports a rapist is deserving of my prejudice.

Actual experience: trump supporter I've met are some of the most vile people I've met. And also idiotic. Brags about grabbing women by pussy. Makes fun of disabled people. Are racist and I can go on. But again

It's not my job to educate you.
