Well, since you think two months is a long time, at least in regard to Meryl Streep's speech, I suppose I can use it as well: What has Trump done to dispel the very legitimate fears about him or his presidency since being elected? I'm asking genuinely. I consider myself fairly informed, and I've yet to see anything.…

Furthermore, it is WAY too early to answer the question of whether the election results matter. If the Democratic Party decides to take in the progressive vote and build a stronger party, hell yeah, those third party votes will have mattered!

I wasn't reluctant to vote for either "side". I was not going to vote for Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton. I'm a far-left progressive who left the Democratic Party years ago. Hillary Clinton no more represents my priorities—the abolition of "all war, all the time", and the environment—than Donald Trump.

You stole that theory from me! I just posted that on these very boards!

Ah, policy. I wonder what this election would have been like if we had had more discussion of, you know, actual issues. I'm looking at you, LAMEstream media!

Fair enough.

"Until otherwise proven I'm just gonna assume anything connected to him is bullshit, that has been his record up until now."

Yeah, we should probably just stop the conversation at this point. I wholeheartedly disagree with your premise that writing a candidate in =/= making your vote count. If we can't agree on the premise, it'll be hard to have a discussion, you know?

Didn't you use catholics4trump.com to prove a point upthread?

Small quibble: I'm not sure that WaPo should be considered good journalism these days.

I clicked on that link, and here's one of the first things I read:

I was actually with you until this point, my friend. The way that Ack_Ack is talking to you is at best, unhelpful to the larger issues at hand, and at worst, destructive and really fucking rude.

Just curious: To which "actual fake news about BLM" has hawkstwelve referred?

"Bullshit Points…and Zero Evidence"

If it makes you feel any better, I've been banging the "not all Trump voters are racists/sexists/bigots" drum for months now. The sooner we can move past the winner/loser sports language of this election and focus on how we are still in the position of 1% uber alles, the better off we'll all be.

"Some people did it because of the downright horrible other choice."

*taco bowl

I still think the GOP is going to ram its arm directly up Trump's asshole and work him like a puppet in order to jam through every horrible, regressive, already-been-proven-to-fail, neocon-wet-dream policy they can, only to find something with which to impeach him and discard him like the used condom he is.
