Our Democracy is pretty much dead

8. I agree with the OP

I'm at my wit's end for how things get better.

We're gerrymandered to death, the media covers the wrong stories constantly, and now we have a bunch of Russian stooges serving in important positions.

The polls were the toughest thing to accept. There really were a bunch of Trump supporters not telling the truth, or they were not called because they never participated before.

Election night was a horror show. I was in a gay bar (not gay, but don't care where I am) and as the results came in , I couldn't see any chance of victory. My friends around me were more positive, but I knew the calculations of the electoral college and we were doomed.

Now we have a complete buffoon in office and horrible people in cabinet positions. This is depressing as hell.

I left that bar very early that night. Too many bad signs. Too many states lost that should have been won. And now we're stuck with all this drama and bad governing. Never seen it so bad.
