    The president is not, and should not, be an all-powerful individual.

    If these idiots stay home he will be and they will be fucked with a capital F.

      I agree the president is not, and should not be, all-powerful.

      But he’s still a politician. He’s still, ostensibly, the leader of his party and his nation. If he can’t convince idiots to leave their homes and vote for him, he’s failing all of us. We’re not failing him. Idiots will always exist, and conservatives never have any trouble getting their idiots to the polls.

          America is at the mercy of idiots, by design. We could invest more in education, public healthcare, and income inequality, and we’d have fewer idiots, but first we have to win elections. That’s not my fault. Ignoring that is what got us Trump.

          Where is the flaw in my logic?
