    People have been screaming at you for 8 years that “Not Trump” is not a viable election strategy. You need to offer an actual, concrete alternative. Until the Democrats start actually offer real alternatives, they will continue to be shocked these results.

      I don’t need to offer anything. I’m from a country with a parliament, ranked choice voting, proportional representation. But if you still don’t get that not Trump should absolutely be better than “whatever, I guess”, you deserve what’s coming.

          Punishment? No. To get exactly what they actively chose to make happen? Of course.

          Interesting that you’d frame “consequences if their actions” as “punishment”. Because punishment is usually a consequence of your actions, while not all consequences are punishment.
