A big hand to my beautiful, beautiful white nationalists and especially to @RichardBSpencer! He is a credit to his race. Terrific rally in Charlottesville tonight! Without all those problems from the alt-left. Because it was a "flash mob." Very smart move, amazing job, Richard! I have to tell you, it makes you very proud to be an American when you see the job that they've done. Protecting our statues, our heritage, our history, the culture of our great country. The only message I can say is that we're with you 100 percent. #MAGA

If all the world's economists were laid end to end, we wouldn't reach a
conclusion.

It ain't no mystery. America in practice has no real parliamentary system and so is forced to choose between the lesser of two evils. When the third-party candidates all in concert embrace the retardism of one of the two prevailing parties, then your choices are once again limited to one or the other.
Keep in mind that my decision was influenced by being in college in the last few years. Being a free-speaking asshole in that context gave more credibility than the so-called "righteous" doing whatever they could to call themselves "tolerant" while unnecessarily demonizing ALL whites, not just those Whites who wore pointy hats. Not to mention that they condoned violence, as long as it was their violence, and chickenshittedly backpedalled only in the face of a public backlash rather than having any actual morality about what the right thing was.
Paglia said it best -- They overplayed their hand. They told us that Hillary had a 90% chance of winning. I knew those were wrong before I voted Trump, because I got the pulse of the street. I listened to the left and the right who I saw with my own two eyes, rather than what the chickenshit San Fransisco and New York City media was belching out.
If the Democrats bothered to learn a lesson or two and clean house I'd be more than happy to vote for them again. Sadly, making a deal with the Devil better-represents my best interests than the Democratic platform does.

No, you weren't.
I know that I wasn't.
My ballot had lots of choices.
You're in California too, so you had the same choices.
...and the folks who voted in the 1860 election didn't say that "lesser of 2 evils" shit either.
They voted in a Republican--the first one ever to get elected. [wikipedia.org]
That year, the voters effectively obliterated the Whig Party.
.
...and if you didn't like anybody who was actually on the ballot, why weren't you signed up and at party meetings before then, working to get better choices--instead of sitting on your ass swilling beer?
As Thom Hartmann says to close his program, "Don't forget. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Get out there. Get active. Tag, you're it!"
