    • The Clintons convincing Trump to run as a candidate got Trump elected.
    • Hillary Clinton’s pied piper strategy, which resulted in him getting billions in free advertising, got him elected.
    • The DNC refusing to primary a candidate that nobody wanted that was backing and funding a genocide is what got Trump elected.

        I think committing genocide is bad, even if someone else is also doing it, and I think its bad to reward someone for committing a genocide.

            Pretty directly: The Democrats were committing a genocide. Voting for them will not stop the genocide. The argument that “but someone else is also doing it!” doesn’t make it matter any less that you are doing it.
            You are presenting a false dilemma, there are more to do than vote and there’s more than two parties.

        It didn’t matter what Trump did or did not do. The fact is that you allowed the Democrats to keep doing it, and then to reward them for their bad behavior, you decided to try to elect them again. That’s how US politics has become so fucking dysfunctional. You reward bad behavior.

      What is your source for the Clintons “convincing” Trump to run? According to Politico "What the sources from both camps agreed upon, however, was that Clinton did not urge Trump to run.

          From that article: “an aide to Clinton said the 2016 race was never specifically discussed and that it was only a casual chat.” The closest thing in the article to Clinton encouraging Trump to run is that they say the conversation was “upbeat.”

          I feel like you are reading too much into that.
