      Conversation. Understanding. Not creating enemies out of moderates.

      Trump won because he appeals to people that we choose to neglect as simply ignorant, uneducated, stupid, etc. We have to accept that these people get a say, and show them that their decisions with Trump were not in their best interest, instead of continuing to insult them while their ego leads them to shoot themselves in the foot to spite us.

      Mandatory voting. In Australia you have to pay a fee if you don’t want to vote. They seem to like it because it keeps the extremes out.

        Right. The problem is that the people who benefit from the way things are happen to be the same ones who can pass the laws necessary to change voting to be mandatory. It’s not happening anytime soon.

          Not to mention the fact a majority of this country (the US) is absolutely braindead politically and it will only get worse as the department of education is dismantled from the inside out.

          Regardless, it’s a good idea. How many things worth doing should be thrown out because they’re hard to do?
