The threat of misinformation, conspiracy theory and social media to our democracy
#16
Your boldface comment seems to be a lesson that Obama himself had to learn once he assumed office. And although he no doubt meant well, the fact that we didn't even come close to getting all that we wanted is strongly laid at his feet nonetheless. Same during the Clinton presidency, the one plus being that the former of those mentioned didn't quite become the Republican in Democrat's clothing that the latter did. Therefore, despite being a detriment, it can be easily understood why so many do ending up voting for None of the Above. May be the same this time around too.
