You gotta realize that shit like this is why white people are voting for Trump. No one wants to be made to feel like shit. There is no olive branch, just shit like this. Keep up the good work.

You need to realize minorities and their allies have never thrown the first stone in that department. If Trump supporters want respect, they need to give up the ghost on their hatred and xenophobia. Then maybe we can have a conversation.
 
While I agree HillaryGAF was too smug, you should be worried about Mexico after Trump wins. Hell the peso is already plummeting after all the plummeting it already did this year. Plus you have people like AMLO running for president who have voiced that they see no problem with Trump. It will be a very scary time for the country.

We are worried down here. A lot
 
Bernie Sanders was never going to appeal to them. His position would never promise "I'll bring back your jobs", in fact Hillary tried to address those people.

Trump just flat out lied to them to get his way.

Well, you find out he lied after he can't do it. Dude is not even in office yet.

I absolutely agree that Arrogant B should have been banned, and hopefully it's permanent.

But can a mod please explain to me why EekumBokum wasn't banned for making the exact same comment about a different racial group?
Didn't you know? It's ok to be racist toward white people these days. ;)
 
PA, WI and MI going to the Republican Presidential candidate. What a goddamn clusterfuck. It's not even a question anymore that Hillary was the wrong candidate, fucking primary election results be damned. Trump electrifies people. Hillary doesn't. This was very clearly the election of the anti-establishment and the Dems fucking blew it nominating Hillary. Their mistake was going with a fucking snoozer of a candidate who has demonstrable likability problems, not to mention decades of highly exploitable baggage regardless of that not really being her fault. People have been saying it for months, and the smugness of Hillary supporters here in the face of all the criticisms laid against her really looks pretty sad now.

I really did not see this happening, though. I will admit that. I am legit in shock. I voted for Hillary (and Feingold) here in WI btw.

The Unfortunately reality. Hilary was poisoned (not for her own fault) and it's a shame that the DNC set her up as the inevitable Democratic candidate for 7 years.
 
You forgot Affirmative Action. That's gone.

You forgot environmental legislation and protections around our nation and accords reached internationally. Those are gone.

You forgot about living wages for the least of us. Those are gone.

You forgot about women's rights. Those are rolling back.

As much as countries always talk about environmental protection, I hate to break it to you. They don't give a shit. I can't tell you how many large companies up here have had environmental fines and levies waved on breaking a number of environmental laws.

They're trying to patch a hole in a boat with bubble gum. They need to do so much more and the sad part is they're not as concerned as they should be.
 
Welp looks like he is going to take PA. Incredible.

Next four years are going to be....interesting. Our country will survive this and bounce back, but I am very concerned about how many SCOTUS he could potentially put into place. Because that could have decades of impact.
 
It would be one thing if that man getting office is the isolated result. The insufferable part is how much shit this validates in the minds of the GOP. Fuck...
 
Trump is ahead 30k in PA at 97% reporting in.

Obamacare is done
Climate change legislation is done
The senate, house and SCOTUS will all be controlled by modern tea party supporting republicans

This is the most hellish political scenario I could imagine for this country. A rapist is about to reach the highest office in the land. I blame Debbie, the DNC, Hillary and especially white voters.


DNC fucked up big time
 
I'm so done with this "respect Trump voters everybody" crap.

No. fuck them. If you voted for Trump you're an asshole and I hope you have to deal with negative consequences for your selfish bigoted act.
 
I blame the DNC. I remember the polls showing general election match up during the primary of Clinton barely winning a national poll against Trump, and Bernie winning by 15%.

At the end of the day, the DNC and democratic primary voters figured the most unlikable democratic candidate they could have run was a better choice than literally the most popular Senator in the country.

There is a wave of populist anger. People hate the Washington insiders who hobnob with Wall Street billionaires and have entire conversations where all they do is say "Indubitably" at each other for hours on end. The DNC wanted to force feed that to the American public and the country just wants to throw a political molotov cocktail at those people. Sadly, everyone is going to be getting burned in the process.

I'm not the biggest fan of TYT, but I agree with Cenk's analysis on why people vote. People care about two things when they get into the voting booth: Do I like you? And Do you project strength? Is it right? No. Is it a smart way to vote? No. But that's reality. People don't have time to figure out what's the best marginal tax rate for this bracket and the intricacies of business regulations. They expect you to figure that out. Not tell them about it.

At the end of the day people don't like Clinton. And when she campaigns around the country saying "Boy I can't wait to work with Republicans they're so right about everything" you look weak.

Do people like Trump? No. Does he at least project strength? yes. He checks one more box than Clinton does.

On the other hand, people DID like Bernie. And his unapologetic liberal proposals project strength.

But the DNC, democratic donors, and all the Hillary primary voters cared more about their big business buddies over the health of the nation.
 
Bernie wouldn't have fared better.

This wasnt about Clinton

I honestly think Bernie would have done much better. A vast majority of people hate both Hillary and Trump. Who hates Bernie?

I was lead to believe Hillary would win if I rallied to her instead of Bernie. Jeez I wonder what the hell would have happened if Bernie ended up not endorsing her.
 
Trump has an edge because he promised people in the rust belt and coal miners and industrial workers that he would save their jobs when that's literally not possible.

This seems partly right. The trade deals which make a nation richer create winners and losers within society. Standard political rhetoric for these deals almost always ignores the losers. He spoke to them directly and acknowledged what they have seen for years as their hometowns fell into economic disarray and opioid use grew - these deals made other people rich and left you behind.

That's why the anti-establishment candidates will keep winning. The establishment has been communicating through rose coloured PR speaking remarks for decades.
 
Well of course trump isn't an option, he's just insane... But who thought that Clinton as a candidate was a good idea? Seriously she's creepy as fuck...
 
Fine. I only have one request. Crash and burn. Crash and burn. If you don't attempt to do all your stupid plans and build the impudent wall, I am going to be supremely disappointed. Because I want your people to see you fail, and when they do, rest assured they may not see America as great as they hoped it would be. So my advice to you again is this: crash and burn. That is all that I ask.
 
Because it should be a given that white people wouldn't throw their minority brothers and sisters under the bus

But it's not

And here we are

But isn't just fair that there is a president that governs favourably towards the majority? It would be even unfair if the majority should be prejudiced in favor of minorities
