Please contribute something beneficial to the conversation, or at least interesting. Your pedantry is obnoxious.
Always going with the pro-big business candidates is what spiraled the divide out until a narcissistic rat bastard scooped up the populist vote.
Hillary was terminally unlikable. This was illustrated in polls, primaries, and a general election. The establishment DNC is trash and is not intended to counter fascism, it is funded by the same people/orgs.
It is absolutely the "lesser of two evils", but will not be part of any true structural change, let alone the revolutionary kind that must happen to overcome the current regime.
It's not pedantry to say a broken model is being replaced by a slightly less broken model. You'll get bad results with either one.
In this case, it leads to thinking that two candidates on opposite sides of the left-right axis are similar just because they share a place on the libertarian-authoritarian axis. You still have to make a left-right jump which shows you weren't well grounded on that axis.
