THIIIIIIIIIS.
THIIIIIIIIIS.
And have to love how even in this article, he says, “it wasn’t white women, it was white people.” MEN. The bloc that overwhelmingly voted for Trump were white men, yet it is everyone but them who are getting yelled at. White men did this.
Too bad for you and the rest of us that it’s not a fucking game. And now Bannon’s in the White House, privatizing everything and making discrimination the law. But, you know, it was Hillary who was a liar and was too close to Wall Street. Hope you like that Goldman Sachs cabinet you got.
until progressives actually vote consistently in off year elections and especially LOCAL AND STATE elections, the national candidate isn’t ever going to be a socialist. It’s immature and silly to expect otherwise.
A friend of mine who voted Third Party in completely safe Blue State Illinois (which also went for HRC) recently pulled me aside at a party for a long conversation about how stupid and upset he feels having voted for Jill Stein even in a safe state. I’m sure that’s not helped by some of the post-election idiocy she’s…
Oh for fuck’s sake. Look, I campaigned my ass off for Bernie Sanders. And you know what? He should have been our candidate and he probably would have won, but that’s not the way things shook out.
Any so-called progressive that didn’t see the danger posed by Cheeto Mussolini here and swallowed their objections to cast a…
It was especially obnoxious when they would tear Clinton to shreds over everything and then you bring up Stein’s anti-vaxxing, wi-fi paranoia, obsession with Assange, and a complete lack of political experience and they hand wave it as “rigged media smears”.
“Reason has become entirely secondary to identity.”
“43% of voters chose Sanders, so I’m not quite sure what you had in mind by “wide margin”.
“the DNC proceeds under the assumption that it doesn’t have to put its backing behind a candidate who will actually be good for the population,”
I’m legit very frustrated by the “they’re just as bad” people. Like really? I agree there are legit problems with Clinton, but “just as bad?” When someone says that to me I stop trusting their ability to evaluate things or situations.
Bernie also wasn’t part of the democratic party. I’m not sure why the DNC was obligated to him equal support when he hadn’t supported them at any point in his career and Clinton had. Ideal world, sure they’d be treated completely equally, but come on. In no real situation would that be case. You’re ALWAYS going to…
Apparently, we are all just being hysterical. Because don’t you understand, Obama used drones to kill people too?
LOL second class citizens. I WISH I was treated like a white male millennial.
Yeah, I just unfriended a bunch of white dudes on Facebook who posted an article about the civilians killed in Mosul and the first name they mentioned was.....HRC. You know, the lady who is most definitely NOT responsible for that bombing?
What you’re doing is providing context for why people acted in a racist manner; it’s not a validation that they aren’t racist.
Being complicit in racism is still being racist. Voting for a candidate who spouts racist ideology is still racism, even if that’s not explicitly the reason you voted for them. Calling it…
I think that making excuses for the racist Trump supporters needs to stop.
Really?
This drove me fucking nuts. Not only the gender/race divide you mentioned, but their wide-eyed innocence after the fact: “Well, yeah, she’s a woman. And he’s a pussy grabber. But... emails?”
