If they don't want Trump to win they have to provide a better alternative. It really is that simple.

Most people don't want to vote for Trump but feel like their only alternative is doing that or abstaining. This is because for all the top Democrats' efforts to paint themselves as the serious, safe party they are so far removed from ordinary people they in fact completely insane and every sensible person can see it. It's not even a matter of political disagreement, they have lost touch with the basics of reality.

Does anyone remember that half a day after the last election when articles came out from democrates saying "maybe we should listen to the working classes, they have legitimate issues with globalised capitalism" and "maybe calling everyone who disagrees with us racists wasn't the vote winner we thought it would be." Then within 24 hours that all got shut down and replaced by "No, we were right, everyone else is racist and we are good." and even the sensible Dems who wrote the first articles got dragged as racist sympathisers. And I imagine we'll see exactly the same thing after the next election with the Dems again completely confused over what went so wrong and not knowing how to fix it.

Bingo. I fully agree that Trump isn't perfect, but he is light-years ahead of the competition. Check out my post here for Biden's far worse stances on all the issues mentioned by OP's deceptive meme.

I can't take anyone seriously who would say "Yeah, I'm a staunch activist against illegal immigration and all for border security. But even though I paid less net taxes due to Trump's tax cut, some of those taxes went to building the wall, therefore #fuckDrumpf #ImWithJoe". Makes zero sense.

Trump is by far the best candidate here. Not voting for him is retarded.

Yup. It was a little surreal. There was about a day or so of self-reflection, and then it went immediately to blaming Russia with zero proof.
