Most people would rather ignore that racism (and sexism as well) were huge factors because that would require admitting some prejudice on their part as well.

Nah, when a male dem loses it’s everyone’s fault but his own (see Gore and Sanders).

I hope you get hit by a Mack truck.

What a cunty response. We get that you think she’s Satan incarnate, but not everyone feels the same way about her nor are they obligated to. Get off your high horse for once. Your hatred of her is entirely irrational.

Because 1) firing the director of the FBI isn’t as simple a process as one would think and 2) had he done that at that specific time, it would have been read as punishing him for not covering Hillary’s wrongdoing (in other words, swaying the election in Hillary’s favor) and it’s a move that could’ve backfired quite…

Sadly, likability seems to be the new litmus test that presidential candidates must pass now. “Likability” gave us Bill Clinton and Obama, but it also gave us Reagan and Bush. Apparently being competent and knowledgeable is purely optional at this point, you must make potential voters feel all warm and fuzzy inside.…

the public’s weariness with Progressive outrage culture

The best idea for its time, but it has no place in our modern political system. I so badly want the Electoral College to do the right thing, but most of them are pledged to vote along the lines of the result and they’re highly unlikely to break from tradition even though this is the most appropriate scenario to do so.…

If you’re seriously trying to suggest that both candidates are equal flavors of awful, then it stands to reason that you don’t see how supporting Donald Trump is indicative of a character flaw.

Pantsuits will always be the epitome of badass to me.

That is exactly what white moderate “progressives” who always leap to the defense of racists want. To placate and prioritize their racist feelings. Because apparently the country has shifted too far left the past 8 years when minorities started to gain visibility in the mainstream media.

So do you care to actually refute my argument or are you gonna keep equivocating to avoid admitting that you’re wrong?

Yep. When someone as ridiculously qualified as Hillary Clinton still loses to Donald Trump of all people, it’s clear evidence that this country clearly isn’t prepared for a female leader and won’t be anytime soon.

I’m sorry for not responding to this sooner, but I would like to say thank you for responding with this kind and helpful message.

It’s hard to argue that those idiots cared about economics when they voted for the candidate with no plan for the economy versus the one that had a plan to help the middle and working class.

Yeah, it’s really been pissing me off hearing people try to blame Hillary and the Dem. party for not “including” these poor, lost souls.

Even fucking Bernie Sanders joined in with all the spiel about Trump tapping into “middle class people who are sick and tired of establishment politics”. Fuck him as well.

Multiple reasons like a lack of an economic plan? Lack of knowledge on foreign policy? His denial of climate change? Oh no no wait, it wasn’t his racism it was his misogyny, correct? Hearing him brag about grabbing women by their genitals was the draw for you, wasn’t it?

Since “you have a Black president” no longer functions as an excuse to dismiss the reality of racism now that said president has been succeeded by an outright bigot, they’re denying that it exists altogether and are trying to reframe bigotry as “economic anxiety”.

Bernie didn’t do anything to fan these flames, in fact, he tried to put them out in the fist debate.
