Honestly what Trump would do in this situation is distract with a bunch of other nonsense and make that the talking point instead. Dems haven’t stooped to this level yet to their detriment. The whole thing is pretty sad.
IMHO national politics is insane, both parties use propaganda to hide from the real issues and are only interested in maintaining a keeping political power and money at the behest of corrupt corporations.

I don't think an election in a 2 party dominated system is going to fix this, history has been repeating itself since the 60ies. People need to change there thinking about supporting a system that doesn't work before we make any headway in correcting these problems.

This right here. I just got a fundraising text message from the Dems today.

Like: are you F'ing kidding me? You guys and gals just flushed the executive and legislative branches down the shitter, and you want MORE money?

Shows me what the DNC really cares about: itself.

Fixing it would require constitutional amendments, because it’s an outcome of our system of elections and structure of government.
