Very true. Some of my friends act like the email scandal is nothing. While it shouldn’t have been the deciding factor in the election, it was an issue. To me, the bigger issue was her complete failure to respond to it. She acted as though the issue was beneath her, and did everything possible to avoid the issue. I…

Fair. Everyone didn’t hate her. But about half of the country has disliked her for more than 20 years. Even the people who don’t actively dislike her probably have pretty strong opinions on her. She needs to accept that she lost mainly because of her faults. She didn’t attract enough people to vote for her. It feels…

The real reason Trump won is because of his opponent. He didn’t attract the lost tribes of white people to come out of the wilderness and vote for some racist vision of America. He won because the people who voted for Obama didn’t vote for Hillary. Trump got less votes than Romney, a walking, talking piece of Wonder…

The Iraq War was a quagmire, so I’m torn regarding how to view President Bush. If I had some mutant ability to actually read his mind, I’d be very interested to find out why he went to war in Iraq, and if he really thought it was the best thing for the country. He always seemed like a decent man doing his best in a…

I think the future of Wall-E is optimistic. I’m watching Mad Max: Fury Road.

I guess it’s an issue of degree. If I could walk back one thing I said, it would be that I don’t necessarily think the issue is “political correctness” itself. Political correctness has done a lot of good in terms of raising awareness, respect and acceptance for minorities and marginalized groups. This is a good…

You’re part of the problem. I offered a reasonable statement regarding something that I believe might have contributed to an asshole becoming our President, and you responded by telling me to “get my head out of my ass”. Sure, if may be a point of view that you don’t agree with and don’t hear often, but I think this…

of course my comment is still grey.

Do you think perhaps this emphasis on political correctness, in some ways, helped to create a world in which Trump could get elected? When everything is racist, nothing is racist. I’ve seen articles on this site about how Halloween costumes are racist (the recent Moana costumes, for example). Articles on how pink…

It’s almost as if identity politics isn’t the deciding factor for every voter. You’re inability to understand them voting for Trump is part of the problem. We’ve established echo chambers where we surround ourselves with like-minded people, and label anyone who disagrees as “trolls”.

I think you can say both are. The GOP is a dumpster fire, but there is a ton of aggravation at the DNC and their support for Hillary during the primaries.

“First, a spoiler: Chappelle cast his early vote for Hillary in Ohio, so it’s unclear why he opted to dedicate such a solid chunk of time to knocking his professed candidate of choice.”

For the 10th time, I voted for Hillary. I voted for Obama. I’m not some conservative trying to boost support for Trump. That said the myriad of problems associated with Republican politicians doesn’t change the fact that there are some pretty sketchy Democrats as well.

“lesser of two evils” is a wildly used, and fairly common phrase. often the person using it doesn’t mean that the things are actually evil. that would be dumb. as with most sayings, it isn’t to be taken literally. when i say she’s the lesser of two evils, i mean that she’s the better of two poor candidates. of course…

Jesus Christ. The people in this echo chamber. Dare challenge anything that’s written, even slightly, and you get labeled “Trump Trash”. Even while you explain that you’ll be voting for Hillary, and that Trump is an idiot. If you ever want to complain about the state of political discourse in this country, please look…

Are you saying that you don’t think there are any problematic aspects of her background and candidacy that need to be addressed? Should she just get a free pass on everything because she is running against a trainwreck of a human being? I think you can support Hillary when it comes down to her versus Trump, but still…

One of the more articulate and well-reasoned responses you’ll find on this site. Congrats.

“Yep, definitely the same.”

Well, this article mentions the pardon of Marc Rich. You also have their involvement in Haiti, the email scandal (which isn’t the most important issue of the election, but isn’t nothing either), using some of the same tax avoidance schemes that she criticized Trump for, and NY attorney general Eric Schneiderman’s…

I hate Trump, and will be voting for Hillary, but I’m not sure why she gets a free pass on this site. She’s the lesser of two evils, but isn’t what I’d consider an appealing candidate. She could have nipped this all in the bud if she wanted to, and released those emails, but didn’t. Instead she acted like any…
