The Problem Has Now Been Defined

[Tiberius]

You know, Tibs...you make them sound like children who need their teacher to entertain them.

No, but they need a leader who they think will run their country, look out for their interests and those of the country at large, and be a person they can look up to. When you have a choice between "shit", "slightly more shit", and "you don't have to vote for either" there are bound to be people who will choose the latter.

One can only hope they learn the error of their ways..... and they deserve to get it good and hard.

That's the thing, I know you think that there was this clear good/evil divide between the candidates, and of course you would being an ardent supporter of Clinton, but for a lot of people, maybe even most of the non-voters, the divide was fuzzy. Not everyone is a liberal or a conservative; there are plenty of people in between who had reason to hate both candidates, to the point where it didn't really matter which won for them, because both outcomes would have been shitty.
