.....but I think King is asking a vital question.

According to Data from the US Election Project, Census Bureau:

19.8% Voted for Clinton
19.5% Voted for Trump

29.9% Did Not Vote

28.6% Were Ineligible to Vote

That 29.9% should be easy pickings for the Dems, and there's something wrong that the Clinton percentage is so close to DT's. I don't believe the election was stolen by "Russia". I think we lost it. People just stayed home, un-enthused about either candidate.

It's crazy that the majority of ordinary people are not enthusiastic about the Democratic Party. That's a Party failure---not anyone else's.

I think embracing neo-liberalism has made it hard for people to feel enough trust that they'll inconvenience themselves to go vote.

Why haven't the Dems fought for weekend voting? Automatic registration? The end of gerrymandering? Why only now are they returning to an in-touch 50 state strategy? Why couldn't they ever explain the ACA better? How, in God's name, did DT manage to appear the "populist" compared to any Democrat?

Bernie is popular. Warren too. There's a reason for this.
