The idea that 60M people voted for Trump because they’re “racists” is exactly the type of self-righteous thinking that lead to Clinton getting demolished. Trump won because the establishment has utterly failed the majority of this country - they voted for him despite his flaws, not because of them.

This should be the headline after every election. It doesn’t matter one bit who wins or loses.

No, fuck you. Bc of that, Donald won.

I get everyone is bummed and this Biden gif is funny, be he is literally shitting on 60M voters. The same thing that Hillary basically did to the largest voting block in the country. It doesn’t matter if you think some of them are horrible people, you NEED their vote. This is the perfect gif to explain the Dems defeat.

I think he did. If anything Johnson most likely helped make this closer for Hillary than it otherwise would’ve been. Trump won whether Gary Johnson existed or not.

I guess I don’t understand his platform that well, but I thought he took votes more from the Repubs than from Dems?

Looking at the close states, be sure to thank those that voted third party (the coward’s vote) for that.
I take issue with this, the primary third party votes when to Johnson, which undercut Trump’s own votes.

perhaps if the DNC had opted for a genuine middle ground candidate instead of a pair of old establishment

How do we lose?

“I am sorry, the word we were looking for was Naggers....Naggers.”

I always get killled for these opinions, but I just don’t get the problem here. The rule is the rule. It has been applied consistently. The family gets a plaque and the honor of knowing their beloved father is in the Hall. They don’t “deserve” anything else.

Hillary is way more of a mainstream republican than trump ever was

I don’t pretend to know the whole story here, but what a bitch.

Counterpoint: lighten up

I’ve been wondering for years why PoI wasn’t getting exactly this kind of attention and examination. One weird thing about CBS is that they have all these sort of authoritarian-embracing shows that get good ratings — Hawaii Five-O, Blue Bloods, the NCIS shows, and others are all about advancing a police state

This was a great show and it is a miracle it lasted as long as it did on CBS. I think the reason it survived is it started as a fairly generic, but well done, procedural with a gimmick (bread and butter for CBS) and only got deeply into the near future sci fi elements once it had built an audience.

Be stronger-willed than the troll. If you just ignore him, either he continues (at which point you continue to ignore), or he gets bored because you’re not reacting and goes away on his own.

Put it this way: Do you care about this troll? Do you care what he thinks of you? No? Then don’t waste any time thinking about

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Big Brother is not coming from the right, he’s coming from the left.

It’s a wonder any of us survived at all since mankind was drinking milk and eating cheese long before Pasteur was born...

The fact that any food could be “controversial” is a depressing statement about the number of busybodies in our midst. If you don’t want to drink raw milk, don’t. What is the controversy?

The FDA spent around a year investigating an Amish farmer over raw milk before finally giving him the SWAT treatment. So as far as the Government is concerned its a high priority.

Your tax dollars at work protecting people from products they actively are seeking.
