I said this many times in election threads over the past six months. She was an AWFUL choice. And I was dogpiled time after time by HillaryGAF.

"Trump's racist. You're racist. Everybody is racist. Deplorable."

I didn't even vote for Trump and I'm in a solidly blue state. But I'm as cautiously optimistic as I can possibly be. Hillary is a corrupt snake, and the democrats screwed up royally.

I'm hoping Trump surrounds himself with a reasonable cabinet (read: No Christie, no Rudy, no Cruz). We'll see.

But to all you smug smarmy holier than thou pseudointellectual liberals: You did this to yourselves. Unilateral marginalization of 40% of the country (which not coincidentally is exactly what you accuse the other side of doing) wins you no friends, and probably cost you this election.

You made your bed, now lie in it.

So much this, especially the underlined part, HillaryGAF was insufferable during the Bernie days, my god.
 
The republicans blocked Obama's SCOTUS nominee for 8 months and signaled that they would permanently block any nominee to the supreme court from a potential president Clinton.

The quesiton must be asked -- How disruptive will democrats be in the senate? Can they force a 60 vote requirement on anything and everything like the GOP has done over the last 8 years?

The kid gloves are off... The GOP's treatment of the nomination process means Democrats need to do everything to block Trump from getting any Supreme Court justices looked at.

Yeah it's not that Hillary is a failure of a candidate.
 
What future pool of progressive voters? If the young weren't disenfranchised with politics before, they sure as hell are now.

It doesn't seem to change anything though. Racists and dickheads are the majority it seems.

Yeah I wanted to have a kid next year and I'm seriously considering not to. What the fuck is this world.
Giving up seems wrongheaded; anecdotal but all my millennial lib friends have opted to not have children, while my conservative friends are... The majority is what you make of it.
 
The takeaway from this election, and the thing we all probably underestimated, is how easily and fiercely stupid people can be mobilized, as evidence by the sudden surge of Trump supporters popping up in this thread. I would love for anybody who supports or voted for Trump but swears they aren't ignorant and/or a racist to give me one policy or position of his, just one, that you agree with or support that A) isn't rooted in some kind of hate, bigotry, or racism or b) is an ACTUAL position, and not just him saying "it'll be great I'll fix it i promise"

Go ahead, I'll wait.

Would "Fuck the environment" qualify as hate?
 
If Trump becomes the President, and by the looks of things it looks likely, then at the very least the US can't lord over its brand of democracy anymore in the rest of the world.

Because your brand of democracy has a man like Trump in a likely winning path towards becoming your president, US.

Why do you think Trump would want to do that in the first place? He already thinks we pay too much for every effort we make outside of US borders to maintain US interests. Trump doesn't just want a wall on the Mexican border, he wants it all the way around the US.
 
No because they are the minority.

Repubs could do that because they controlled the house and will again.

You don't need the majority to be really disruptive in the senate. You can use parliamentary tricks to extend debate forever on a bill and disallow it from ever being voted on unless 60 votes are made for cloture. This is what the GOP did to everything last time they were in the minority.

I'm curious if the democrats will return the favor and maybe help slow down or stop the republicans.
 
Should've nominated Bernie...
This is all on the fucking DNC shoving the worst presidential candidate down our throats.
 
With Florida's medical marijuana amendment passed I want to be the first customer at the first official clinic. I ain't suffering through 4 years of orange parasite without some help.
