Bunch of crybabies and sore losers. They'll get over it and see reason. Not all of them, the kinds of people that posts things like that are no doubt unreasonable, but emotions are high right now.
True, but for some, it's perhaps a combination of egocentricity and being tired of political mediocrity.
They lean to one guy and considering his direct competition a "shill" and "untrustworthy," regardless of the validity of specific claims, and I'm sure some
can be made. They then proceed to migrate to the opposition because they feel said direct competition, regardless of specific reasons, beat him in votes. It's an easy transition to justify for those deeply into this, because the opposing side's front runner also represents a "fuck you" to the mediocrity of the current metastasized political body, which people can rightfully say is garbage.
I can empathize with their emotions, but not their reasoning abilities to go from the guy talking about egalitarianism to the literal symbolism of
everything wrong with America, American culture, and the human ego.
I'm not convinced Trump will bring any change at all. People think he's "anti-establishment' simply because he's not a career politician, but he's been in the private sector his entire life, and he's in the subset of the sector that benefits the most from Republican pro-corporate ideology. He has given no genuine reason to believe that he would go into the White House and start enacting shit that would undermine his very livelihood. Chances are higher he'd push for further deregulation and another legislation for him to profit off of when he gets out.
Any Bernie supporters who would jump ship to Trump simply due to the establishment "brand" were never serious about politics in the first place, because to do so is to exhibit a fundamental misunderstanding of Bernie's message. Hell, Bernie himself keeps repeating how vital it is to keep a Democrat in the White House this upcoming term regardless of who that Democrat is. If they're so willing to throw away and ignore a key talking point in Bernie's campaign I call into question if they were Bernie supporters in the first place.
I agree, simply because our choices are status quo or to regress. Change is not in the cards, unless you consider the inevitable stagnation this country will continue to have, but that's merely cultivated from the way things have been arranged for a while. No person can fix a sinking ship by oneself, especially in a culture that does not address the water coming in.
