Just a heads up that despite public perception, Sander wasn't actually a democrat before this. So the primary was far more party insider vs outsider.

That's kind of the point. Certain DNC shills on this forum told us how Sanders was getting his fair shot and yadda-yadda and in reality party loyalty is what became the rule. Not that the RNC is any better (things were rigged against Trump since that very first question Megyn Kelly asked him, which of course totally backfired), but Trump and Sanders alike tear down the illusion of choice during the primary process, and that's why people are pissed off. And I don't even really care, I've always been skeptical of the system and think Sanders only accomplished pushing Clinton further to the left. It's just hilarious how DNC shills continue to shit down the throats of Sanders' fans and then act flabbergasted when they spit it back out, or when Republicans just couldn't figure out that opposing Trump as an outsider only made him stronger. The parties have a huge sense of entitlement.

Well reasoned, sir.

I'm disappointed that you think I'm minimizing a real issue out of fear that Trump will win. I do fear that, but my fear of what Trump might do is dwarfed by my horror at what I have already seen out of his supporters. The awful, ugly things they scream for. None of that changes if 51% of the country votes for Hillary Clinton.

It is true. Winning isn't everything. Winning is super important here but it won't resolve the deep problems revealed by what we have been seeing/hearing. It really concerns me that Trump's ratings are over 15%, that anyone wants to vote for him, frankly.
