Where are the approximately 7 million who voted for someone else?
I also need to ask, how are the Democrats planning on winning some of those 100,000,000 votes? Going around like they are entitled to those votes is not a winning tactic, and if they lose in 2020 then average women, LGBTQ, POC and immigrants will lose far more than they will.

Here we go with the good old âdual loyaltiesâ canard.
If he were talking about someone white and Jewish, everybody would be screaming about this. But since they are Muslims and/or POCs, he can just brush it off like always.

I would actually be entirely unsurprised if Trump started going full anti-Semite next, Jewish son-in-law or no. And his base would keep eating it up.
Remember that he has already referred to the Charlottesville mob screaming âJews will not replace us!â as âvery fine people,â so it wouldnât exactly be much of a leap.

If he gets a second term heâll start by attacking individual Jews who arenât âone of the good onesâ using the usual anti-Semitic canards. Heâs already laid the groundwork by setting apart âloyalâ Jews like Kushner, Miller, the Chabad folks, and Bibi â all of the collaborators and kapos will be glad to play into the distinction.
Also remember the Clinton/âsheriffâs starâ Twitter meme his campaign spread, and advisers like Gorka and Bannon. Itâs always only a matter of time before right-wing populists go after the Jews.

yes, yes, I know the meme is âsimpleâ. it also doesnât indicate all the voters who are denied their Right to vote, etc.
All of that is beside the point.
Iâm a lifelong Independent so I donât have any loyalty to a party. I just would prefer the best candidate.
If people just vote for parties the whole country loses. Do I think some milk toaster candidate is a good choice for the democrats? no, of course not. Yes, they had better get their act together but voters have to get involved and not sit out elections.

Let me rephrase what I asked.
A lot of those who can vote but donât are disillusioned. They donât feel that any party (major or minor) represents them. How do you get them to turn up to vote at the election? Business as usual politics wonât work, neither will abuse and blame. Something different is needed.
Myself, I am borderline. I view elections as choosing the form of the destructor, and I am better off choosing someone who can be pressurised into making the world a better place. Like Bakunin 150 years ago, I believe that liberty without socialism is privilege and injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality. I donât feel that any democratic candidate really represents that, most of them leaning towards liberty without socialism. Warren and Sanders probably come closest, but arenât that close. Republicans donât represent liberty or socialism, and are privilege, injustice, slavery and brutality rolled into one.
But that is just me. I moved into different political beliefs and eventually found a way to reconcile them with voting for the lesser of two evils, but what about the rest of those who didnât vote? If we want to beat Trump then we have to win them to our side. Not the side of Democrats but the side of egalitarianism.

Correct me if Iâm wrong, but isnât this a really anti-Semitic trope?
