See that? That's how divisions are started and propagated. As with most major issues in the world - stop looking sideways, and start looking up.
Looking up at what. . .  God?

We've got a couple of years to find a candidate who can make Trump a one-term president. We better pick a good one.

Non-voting is a way of informing the public that one is tired of the absurd political system.

Yeah, you do. Hate to break it to you Min, but most people don't vote "against" a candidate, they vote "for" one. I know it's hard to hear, but for a lot of people, a Clinton presidency didn't sound that much better than a Trump one, and that's why they didn't vote at all.

Not entertain, but inspire (give hope), be connected with the people.

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

It isn't the people's fault for being unmotivated. It's the DNC's fault for pushing out a horrible candidate. We know for a fact that the DNC tried their hardest to beat down Bernie, and they still couldn't get him mathematically eliminated. If Bernie had the nomination, people would have gone out to vote. It's not the voter's fault Trump won.

Yes, you have to present a candidate that people actually want to vote for, if you want people to vote. We all know how bad Trump is going to be. How the hell do you screw up this badly? By propping up an equally unlikable candidate on the other side.
