I found this satire piece to be absolutely delightful, capturing the potential rage that Hilary kept under wraps after it was announced that Trump won. It was a disappointing time, as that orange clown got the better of a far more fit person to serve in office.

Hillary did enough, herself, for people not to like her. She was never really a palatable choice. Not being Trump wasn’t quite enough to get her elected. And, frankly, she didn’t work that hard to get it either. That bit her in the ass.

That, combined with a huge amount of voter apathy because it was inconceivable that a lying boob like Trump could ever win, and, well…

That bit ~~her~~ in the ass.

That bit The USA in the ass.

Hmm that makes sense. And yet something like 3 million more people voted for her than trump, right? Maybe Kamala can pull this off if people tend to like her any amount better than Hillary. Also, I think Kamala will put in the extra effort, whereas, as you said, Hillary didn’t seem to.

Not Voted/No candidate represented an 86% super majority of the US during the 2016 election. This is a fundamental failure of both parties to produce a candidate.

Had "No Confidence/Vacant Office" been an option neither could have been elected.

I don't think the people that didn't bother voting would have left their home to vote for that choice either, so one of the actual candidates still would have won.
