If you voted for Trump, this one's on you.
He did run on "drain the swamp" which meant getting rid of people that do things like this. The problem is that people believed him.

Non-voters / people on the “there’s no difference” train also deserve a moment of reflection about whether their reality is true.
I abstained from voting. I'm still happy with my decision. People actually care about politics again [1]. Maybe next time don't railroad my candidate (Sanders) during the primaries. I will never vote for a neoliberal or corporate Democratic candidate, even if you hold my country hostage. [1] Alabama has a Democratic state senator for the first time in decades.
Finally, something good came from the Obama administration. Appointing Pai to the FCC was probably their greatest accomplishment.

No. Give me a candidate worth voting for, and I will vote. The current "pick the lesser of two shitheads" is ridiculous. Both parties in the US are to blame. The two party system in the US today means that voting for anyone that is not a Democrat or Republican is a complete waste of time.
It is time to make the Internet a utility. Unfortunately, it wont happen until we get Democrats back into the Senate and House.

There's probably a Democratic wave happening nationally, but the Alabama special election is really poor evidence to use for it.
Edit: You know what, fuck it. I don't think I can say anything here that hasn't been said a thousand times already.
Most people don't fit into either party's value system. I hardly think boiling it down to R vs D is going to help anyone, we need to inform our populous.
That being said, I think it's pretty clear that more harmful policies proposed in recent times have come predominantly from a single source, and I think it's more important to work in opposition to that harmfulness than to find a group that perfectly represents you. Especially with a first past the post electoral system in which fractiousness dilutes the value of your vote.
