What has gone wrong with American democracy?

all Americans think of themselves as "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" to quote Stienbeck (disputed quote but whatever), so it's not like they find someone with money repulsive just because the rich person has money and they don't. plus trump is the ultimate loser who still made money so it's like, they all want to be him, man

at least southerners are honest about their racism, but lets not pretend that people from boston aren't racist

Partisan politics is the reason shit don't get done. Like the fence, wall, barrier or whatever. $25 billion was agreed on in the past, but not $5 billion now. Did the problem go away, and why was things not done with the past agreement?? Seriously, WTF is up with that? Btw, a wall, fence or whatever is just ONE PART of border security. America does not have infinite resources for all, that's a fact, rather you like it or not. Come on in, just do it legal.

The electoral college is not the problem. It works as intended. Clinton's campaigning failures and Comey's failures in integrity were the specific problems in this election.

A better solution for liberals than trying to take your ball and go home is to play the game better.

We also have to try to figure out the media (including social media) issue in America, which has been discussed ad naseum and something we are all familiar with here so I won't bother to extrapolate. That's the real menace facing us, not the electoral college.
