      If she was actually using that message, which I never heard, no wonder she lost. People don’t want the absence of something, they want radical change. They want a country that works for the middle class rather than just for the 1%. That’s why Obama’s message resonated. And that’s why Trump’s message resonates. He at least acknowledges that shit’s broken and he promises to fix it. He may be the wrong person to fix it and he may have no interest in fixing it, but his message at least acknowledges that there is a serious problem.

        I don’t know what to tell you dude. I’m just a foreigner and I heard that message over and over. It was as clear as day for me.

        However, message or no, the US have put a convicted felon in charge of the country. I’m gobsmacked by that.
