tell you why we lost the election. It was race, and here is why, every day when we turned on the TV
the last couple years we saw BLM protesting a police shooting somewhere. We also saw several police that were targeted
and killed around the nation. Not arguing the merits of either side whites were convinced through Fox News that
the all the police shootings were justified. Then when we started to have cops being targeted whites got the impression
blacks had gone to far. I think that is why we saw the support for a racist asshole like Trump. That's the impression I get
from all the Trump supporters I have known. Since the election those two issues have almost totally disappeared.

and they are unlimited big money in campaigns, the electoral college as opposed to the popular vote (and paper ballots), gerrymeandering and right wing propaganda media (Fux, Sinclair and Circa). Good luck getting rid of any of those!
