what could have been (cue melancholy music).

Bernie would have been awesome. Even if he hadn't been able to do much to move the country forward, he would have moved the Democratic Party forward and changed the political landscape.

But, the DNC gave us Hilary. I voted for her because at least she's rational and gets things done, even if she is (was) First Lady of Wall Street.

And the voters gave us all President Trump. I suspect America has now officially descended into The New Dark Ages. Climate change is a "hoax," evolution is "just a theory," reflection+critical thinking are not tolerated.

These are scary times to be an American.
