Seeing the same old predictable jokes and pun threads as top comments with thousands of upvotes in serious posts was one of my least favourite things about Reddit.

Any post related to WWII - Top comment “I did Nazi that coming!” 5000 upvotes

The circle jerk was truly shit.

Maybe it’s different in your area. Where I live the local fishing spot is nearly all men.

About one hundred million people declined to vote at all.

You’re getting down votes because the truth hurts. People in the echo chamber don’t want to hear anything except “Trump bad”.

To sum up your comment succinctly it can simply be said that the democratic party failed to relate with and engage the electorate, something that Trump did successfully.

Oh OK. I’ve never watched it so that’s why I didn’t understand.

  1. 11% more women voted than men, if they all voted democrat, they would have won easily.

You could argue that a proportion of these women are brainwashed or whatever else but the simple fact of the matter is that not enough of them felt engaged with democratic policies.

Research requires a critical mind. Think of a person you know that has average intelligence, 50% of people are more stupid than that.

And I’m not saying that stupidity is solely an issue for the republican electorate, I’m just saying “do your own research” is an unrealistic expectation.

People need to be engaged with.

More like the oligarchy now have 99% of the power rather than 98%.

The issue is that we believe we have a free democracy when the only power we have is to put an X in a box every few years. The system isn’t broken, it’s working as it’s designed to.
