SHAME: The American electorate has triggered Vox's Ezra Klein and should feel bad for scaring him

Wasn’t Vox supposed to be some sort of “explainer” site that wouldn’t just report the news, but present readers with lots of charts, dubious world maps, and cutting-edge online tools that would do away with the need to manually compare one’s height to that of the presidential candidates?

No one ever confused Vox for a right-wing site, but like so many other new media outlets, it didn’t hide very well its mission to drag an unlikeable Democratic candidate across the finish line. But now look what you’ve done, America. Vox founder Ezra Klein isn’t happy that you’ve let Donald Trump get even this far, despite all of the warnings Vox sounded over the past year.

That sounds like a lengthy Vox think piece we’re never gonna read, so let’s assume that wasn’t a rhetorical question.

Maybe rural Americans won't vote for people who think they're deplorable irredeemable bitter clingers? (& -ists and -phobes, too)
