The Democrat party has been the adults in all of this and where has it gotten this country? Tell me 1 thing the Dems have done that is equally comparable to all the petty shit that the republican party has done since Bill Clinton took office.

A great deal of “I hope he can bring us together” and/or “I hope this 70 year old man can change now that he’s in office” talk.

Like the Republicans respected the office of the President by blocking every single thing Obama tried to do from day one while feeding the worst suspicions held up by the very man who replaces him that he’s not American, secretly Muslim and wants to destroy the nation.

I’m sure there are many different reasons why people voted for Donald Trump, and I’m also sure that Florida has more than 4.61 million racists.

They are not all white supremacists, but they are perfectly fine with voting for someone who is racist and was actively courting white supremacists for their votes which makes them slightly less bad.

I don’t think most Trump supporters are white supremacists. But it would be a lie to say Trump didn’t run a racially divisive campaign and some of the top people he picked to be in his cabinet have a history of promoting divisive immigration and voting laws. To ignore that is to ignore reality.

If you hire a truly diverse staff of smart people you will have ideological diversity and you will come by it honestly. Seeking out ideological diversity specifically does not work out well. It’s why Bill Kristol has a career.

The NBA - primarily the player but coaches and executives too - has really solidified itself as the major sport that supports decency and social justice.

Bernie Sanders has been polling in recent months as literally the most popular politician in the United States. Clinton diehards are going to blame people who would have voted for him, but voted for Stein, Johnson, or Trump. Imagine how many votes that must be, particularly in the midwest, that would have gone to…

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is that you again?

Jezebel spent a lot of time telling people, especially Bernie bros, to fuck off. They did fuck off, and this is the end result.

“Dude literally wrote that cancer is caused by orgasm deficiencies.”

This is, by far, a better morning after take than the ones over on The Slot that, so far, are only blaming Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and their voters.

It wasn’t the liberals condescending to them. The liberals came with Bernie and spoke to their hopes and dreams. The liberals wanted to make Washington finally pay attention to lower class suffering and bad trade deals. It was the centrist republican lite wing of the democrats that came with the condescension.

Exactly. Besides the fact that Dems were fucking idiots to nominate her, she made NO real attempt to reach out to the Bernie wing or learn a SINGLE FUCKING LESSON from his success. All that condescending “oh, it was nice to have Bernie challenge her because it made her a better candidate”... well that would require…

NO. This is Hillary Clinton’s fault. This is the Dem National Party’s fault. Put up any non-corporatist and they win but nope. This is what citizen’s united has created. Don’t carry their water.

Well sure, Trump voters bear the ultimate blame, but I agree with Medieval that the centrist instincts of the DNC continues to fuck us over.

Nope. Sanders supporters were mocked and called children for trying to prevent this stress from happening. If Sanders were the nominee the Dem turnout in urban areas would have been extremely higher.

The problem is not so much that Donald Trump would be an awful President and set the country back - he would. But it would be really hard for any one man to truly destroy the country no matter how hard he tries. Especially when a substantial part of his own party despises him.

I moved abroad 3 years ago....and it doesn’t make this any better. But yes - the USA really does have more than 50% of the people who think Trump is a good idea. Yes, there really is half a nation that thinks Obama is a Muslim witch doctor from Timbuktu. The dumbing-down of the United States is complete. I am so…
