    People should be free to vote outside the two party system while still counting their votes against the Republicans.

    Democrats made such a situation inevitable by keeping 3rd parties from participating in the electoral process on a even playing field in states they control. Who could say no to having more then one chance to beat the Republicans? The Democratic Party alongside the republicans.

    Both parties are not the same, but why did they both want the same mathematically flawed voting system?

    Democrats dont get to raise the gates of the electoral castle, declare themselves the sole and only defender of this countries liberty, and also get to escape 100% of the blame for when that plan goes to shit eventually.

    The United States of America is more important then the Democratic Party. Why weren’t they acting like it? Why was the DNC putting their party’s needs of easy elections and safe seats over the needs of the country?

      I do agree the democratic party caused their own doom. I would like to point out however, the logic of “The United States of America is more important then the Democratic Party” could be applied in the same way to “The United States of America is more important than risking Trump to be in office to dismantle it”, no?
