Americans wanted change so they didn't want establishment politicians. When this usually happens the far-right and far-left come into view and typically what happens is that the far-right get first dibs because they always promise the impossible so their proposals are at first glance more attractive to the electorate. In the case of this election, the Democrats didn't even allow the progressives to contest the election so there wasn't really a choice at all.

Oh look it's that pathetic thing that some Americans do where they blame the Democrats for Trump being in power.

Maybe I'd feel worse for thinking that the party failed if they had, like, let me at least vote in a primary...

I'm not American but I really with the Dems had run a competent, middle of the road candidate.
