This is the first year I've seen where no one is happy with either presidential candidate, and The New York Times made a graphic showing how we got to this situation: Only 9% of the population voted for either Clinton or Trump. Less than 10% of the population got us into this situation.

I'm probably part of the problem. I opted out of being out of either political party just solely because I didn't want them bugging me for donations, but honestly I don't really think I would've helped in this situation; New York went mostly for Clinton and the other Republican candidates had dropped out by then. Still, I wonder why people complain about politicians if they don't try to resolve the situation. Yeah, OK, New York will always go Democrat (unless there's a major switch in the parties), but you can affect congress, which honestly at this point I think would make a greater impact than the presidential election. Why the hell aren't we participating?
