Should We Resist Trump?

[Chad32]

What we should focus on is the DNC.

With all due respect, and if you are willing to accept an outside perspective - you should focus on getting shot of that two party system of yours. I know that's taking a lot of work, effort and banging your heads against walls. But it's abundandtly clear that these parties aren't willing to move.

This is very true. Made all the more clear by Bernie not even really being a democrat in the first place. He was third party running for democrat. Hell, trump wasn't an establishment republican either, though not for lack of trying. It would be great if we could build up a third party, even though both major parties would fight it tooth and nail.

I really don't like this circular logic of "I don't vote third party because they can't win, and they can't win because nobody votes for them". If the dems don't give us a candidate that true progressives want, then why should they be surprised when people don't show up to vote.

I watched a video about someone in the media complaining that Hillary lost because too many people voted third party. Ignoring the fact that apparently 9% of voting democrats went to Trump. You really shouldn't complain about people not voting for your candidate, when she can't motivate the voters.
