They clearly don't want to have any say in the matter at all.

No, the Democrats didn't do enough... but they're hardly alone in that. America is a country of "I want what I want, and fuck everything else". You can see it in the people who vote conservative against their own interest... but you can also see in the people who'd rather stay home than fight for something that's a little better instead of a lot.

No answer is perfect. And waiting for perfection to land in your lap so you can start acting on it is exactly what the GOP and Trump coalitions are capitalizing on.

The system sucks, but refusing to participate, or pretending you can change it by force, is only going to make things worse for you and everyone around you.

Congress is mostly Republicans.

Or did you think that the presidency was the only thing that mattered in the US?

Try telling someone working 40 hours a week who can afford to go to Disney every year that they aren't.

The system is unfair, but that does not mean all unfairness is equally distributed. It also doesn't mean that all systems with unfairness are the same. Telling people that they are is lying to their face to try and justify your own inaction.

Pretty sure he lost in the square of public opinion years ago, now he's just capitalizing on it.

It's sending a sacrificial pawn so the tyrant doesn't think of their absence.

No, but they do have an effect on emotional states.
