'Deplorables' are voting and winning
The Democratic establishment is right, Trump did not win the election - they gave the presidency to Trump, their arrogance, the superdelegates that are appointed, not elected, dirty tricks on Sanders, forgetting the common folk did.
As voters you were lead to the trough and drank, you really had no say. Now some are protesting, others use protesting to do more - destroy property, loot, beat up people that do not share their views.
If you are a serious well meaning Democrat, you should be working to fix the problems your party has created. Examine the culture of some and the rant in the entertainment and sports. Have them put money where their mouth is and donate time. As a Democrat on a state level you can be so proud of your choices over the last 35 years. Your choice of Mike Madigan and the boys have made the state the worst in the country in every respect.
Yet you continue to ignore the problems. No protest. Illinois has ceased to be a democracy. Must be OK with you.
The choice is yours. Make the right one for Illinois and the nation. Remember while you protest-blame others and refuse to take responsibility, the deplorables are voting and winning.
