@PlumpBoi, basically Hillary was caught buying out the DNC and rigging the primary against Bernie via the DNC and her chief of staff emails leaking. This pissed off Bernie supporters which led to a large block of his supporters voting Trump. These margins combined with a lack of campaigning in "safe blue states" were thought to be enough to flip several states for Trump, handing him the election.

@SimonPetrikov, big issue looking there is that the people that ended up voting Trump in 16 aren't counted as Sanders supporters in these polls anymore. People tend to do as the crowd does. Basically the last cycles "displeasure safety valve" of voting for Trump is already tapped. But the follow on options all increase in extremism, especially following the leftward lurch the Democrats have primary trapped themselves into.

@PlumpBoi, Actually thrawnfet almost all of Bernie's supporters voted for Hillary after he did 39 rallies for her in the states she didn't go to. A Majority of Obama voters however ended up voting for Trump. The reason why she lost is because she tried to run as a centrist against a populist candidate. Even though he lied about everything he was for, he ended up talking like he was on the left of her on many issues.

@Snarfel Burger, have you actually looked up if we are ranked #1 in those? Most likely havenโt or else you would have known that for example we rank 48 in free speech. Even in entrepreneurship we rank 3. In rule of law we are ranked around 15. Need i go on? Please proceed to say why America is the beat without backing up with actual facts. Oh and dont forget out k-12 education system.
I wish I followed politics so I could understand this.
