The middle wants the end of partisan BS but we know it's not likely to happen. Democrats and Republicans both put party before country so we're left scrambling to decide which is the better choice. Hillary Clinton represents everything wrong in politics. Running her was a huge mistake by the Democrats. The reason so many in the middle went with Trump is because he was anti-establishment. He was not a lifetime politician. Sure, he's an arrogant, obnoxious POS, but he wasn't more of the same. Personally, I thought both choices were bad, so I chose not to vote, but I certainly understand why those who voted for Trump did so.
As for the roommate, if we're being honest, you most likely found him credible because you wanted him to be credible. It's not credible to me that a college roommate would be privy to high school slang when no one from the high school stepped forward to counter Kavanaugh's translation. It makes no sense. I understand you want Kavanaugh to be a perjurer, a rapist, or whatever will disqualify him from the court, but zero proof exists of those claims. You want him to be bad because he has a political ideology different that yours. I'm sorry, but that's just ludicrous. We are still a country where you have to prove guilt. It's not about how you feel. It's okay to be pissed for purely partisan reasons, but you should really accept that you are pissed over the politics, not some unfounded, unproven allegations you put forward as fact.
As for the large segment of pissed off people, I guess we'll see which segment is larger and more pissed off after the mid-terms. Maybe your side will win, maybe they won't, but the elections should be interesting.
