It says a lot about us a nation. There's a lot of seething hatred brewing in this country.
Yes. But understand that most of the seething hatred is directed towards politicians who take voters for granted, and continue to fail to get anything done. It's the reason that Trump and Sanders have been doing so well with the electorate. Period.

My personal favorite:
There are so many people who do not have a voice, who feel democracy has messes. I applaud this man's bravery and his intellect. Voting for Trump because the current state of affairs isn't working and things need a good kick, is the equivalent of chugging drain cleaner, because you have cancer and need chemotherapy.
