    That was some seriously cringe slogan.

    But how was this ever enough to justify voting for the guy who has no morality, cheats and bullshits his way through everything, selects his entourage based on loyalty over competence, divides the country through purposefully polarizing statements and filed for bankruptcies 6 times, 5 of which were casinos? And that was what we knew before he was elected.

    That’s just showing how superficial a lot of the voter base really is.

      No. It shows how bad a candidate she was. People love reform candidates for a reason: Washington is so dirty, and our interests are not corporate interests. Centrist Democrats inspire leftist voters to stay home or vote third party.

        This this this! Guys listen to this guy. He is smart.

        Obama won with a message that politicians were dirty and we needed a change.

        Trump won with a message that politicians were dirty and we needed a change.

        Biden barely won with a message that Trump was dirtier than politicians and we needed a change.

      My two cents: The average American has a literacy rate of 7th-8th grade and not only does Trump talk to that level he also repeats things constantly so people can remember it. Couple that with all conservative biased media constantly blasting the same messages people believe Trump was looking out for them. Compare to Hilary who has been painted as out of touch with voters and courting high value donors since Bill was president and the Bernie thing she needed to capture more independents but she didn’t.
