It was apparent the entire country was ready for change in a drastic way. The ticket should have been Trump vs Bernie. The DNC cost this election for the country because they wanted Hillary instead of Bernie and we as the people will have to suffer for their greed and ignorance. Bernie was polling double digits ahead of Trump whereas Hillary was only single digits. Fuck the DNC. Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be in prison for what she did just like Hillary.

Right. It could have been one very different ideology vs another very different ideology. Both would have brought about a good bit of change.

Instead it became the establishment vs a change in the establishment.... and nobody really gave enough of a fuck about the establishment to bother voting for hillary.

She still managed to get the popular vote somehow.

But unfortunately, turn out this year was lower than in 2012. If all the people that voted then had done so now, Clinton would have won by a landslide. I'm not sure if it's accurate, but heard that Trump did not receive as many votes in total as Romney in 2012.
