There is truly no upside to this election.
I seem to recall more than a few stories about her campaign being strategically shitty to Sanders. Planting rumors about unchecked violence being the main one and later discovering that the DNC was feeding primary debate questions to her and not disclosing them to Bernie. I’m not a Sanders supporter but there was…
As I mentioned in another comment, take a look at the section of that NYT exit poll where they broke down the vote by “Family Financial Situation” For those whose family financial situation is “Better Today” Clinton won 72-24. For those who said it was “about the same” it was tied 46-46. For those who said it was…
you’ve described the modern incarnation of the working class: tradesmen without college degrees. It’s not so much an income designation (although they *generally* trend lower and, more importantly, don’t have fixed salaries) as it is a cultural designation. A plumber or cosmetologist can make good, albeit fluctuating,…
He was very popular with young minorities. Your argument only applies to the boomer generation. The idea that Sanders supporters were all white was just more propaganda, and now those lies should be retired for good.
That’s both absolutely true and mostly meaningless.
It’s because, rich or poor, lots of people just don’t like the Clintons, especially Hillary. This isn’t some kind of new development and it’s exactly why I didn’t vote for her in the primaries. Nominating someone who is already unpopular was a really bad choice.
Hillary was a terrible choice, and they were warned over and over again. Now there isn’t enough decency in the Clintoncrats to face the fact that they were wrong.
Their exit polling doesn’t go state by state for the Times. It is at a national level. Also nobody smart is saying all his supporters are poor, just that the states he flipped were flipped by poorer working class whites. Since they graph you chose is from the primaries, it isn’t really relevant.
There is only one person to blame to Donald Trump’s victory and that is Hillary Clinton.
“There will be years of recriminations in our future. Many Democrats will, as is their habit, conclude that the fault lies with the left wing of the party — that progressive party activists did not sufficiently support the candidate or that leftward attacks weakened Clinton. But that notion hides a simple fact: In an…
I feel that Hillary had it slightly wrong.
Based on your questions the other day, it’s fairly clear to me that you don’t really know much about labor relations, so I’ll answer this question without any snark.
I really doubt a niche hatchback is the answer to slumping sales of a compact car in an industry moving towards SUVs.
Well shooting themselves in the foot by voting for candidates that support union-busting legislation doesn’t exactly help
I can’t tell you how many jobs I’ve looked at or applied for that were entry level and required 3-5 years experience. If you require experience you are no longer entry level.
Reluctantly being that guy... “microfiche”
Do “starter positions” equate to: Requires five years of experience?
That has always been the case with IT jobs in the last 10 years. There’s lots of them available: but they all want to pay shit, want top talent, don’t want to train people, and want to require excessive experience for “entry-level” positions.
And then…
I feel your pain and anger, but the real culprits are the dems that stayed home this year, not “the deplorables” and their terrible sources of propaganda.
