Literally everything the Left predicted in 2016 is happening right now and you are making fun of it as if it's not that big of a deal.

Cope.

Making fun of it? Wtf are you talking about?

The sarcastic tone?

I was responding to the defeatist tone of your comment. You're basically telling people not to vote, in my eyes, which is bullshit. Voting is the first line and if we can't even do that then we're fucked.

I'm not a defeatist, I'm a realist.

The time for electoralism has passed. Vote if you want, but stop relying on political parties to solve your problems for you. Start organizing locally and taking action to make the world suck less.
