He also has the added benefit of being a white man, which matters to the kind of dumbasses in the Midwest who decide our elections, but isn’t either past his prime (Biden), inexperienced (Mayor Pete), disliked by a huge proportion of the public (Bernie), or a dumbass (all the other dudes in the race).

The fact that America does not have legitimate free and fair democratic elections is the ONLY thing that matters. Our elections are rigged and compromised, and until it’s stopped, the consolidation of Trump’s authoritarian rule will continue unchecked and we’ll all just continue descending into hell.

The election is in 15 months. Sure, we’re all sick of all the boring white guys, but what is with the obsession to cull the field so quickly? Some of the lower-polling candidates still bring a lot of value added (this means you, Jay Inslee), especially considering that the frontrunners each have their own weaknesses.…

He can’t wait for them to do it so he can pretend to tell them not to.

And the NYTimes and CNN will applaud him for his statemanship and restraint by avoiding “racially-tinged” comments.

They can’t help themselves, they are pure id incapable of restraint or reason, just hateful subhuman garbage oinking at whatever burbles from his gullet.

Every last cent of it from Splinter bloggers.

First the Managing Editor calls Bernie her dad and doubles down on it after being called out, and now this non-sequiteur horny missive. Totally normal website here.

Exactly, it’s about who is generally representative of their states/regions, and the answer (sadly) is largely that conservative white people are representative of the Midwest and South, which we know because they largely elect conservative white people in statewide elections. There’s a good argument to be made…

I mean, based on how the states and regions vote (electoral college, gubernatorial and Senate elections, etc.), he’s not technically wrong: Urban blue cities are overwhelmed by the conservative rural areas, so they’re not representative because they’re barely represented the way America counts votes. There are reasons…

A lasting and eternal monument to America’s deep and profound racism. Fitting.

All these broken institutions, from the Senate to the Court, allow these people to all become chums and hamstring the few decent people from recognizing and calling out the monsters for what they are: Mortal enemies and direct threats to all that is good and decent. Sorry RBG, fuck you on this one.

Between the refusal to impeach for numerous blatant crimes, the willingness to fund concentration camps, and the unwillingness to get his taxes, there was literally no point in electing a Democratic majority.

The fact that mainland Americans are’t doing the same when we have a corrupt treasonous authoritarian racist rapist president is a major part of the reason we are screwed.

This is the new normal thanks to greed and ignorance.

Trump isn’t even playing, he handed America’s pieces to Putin.

I’m sure the Turks are brokenhearted at not being able to buy overpriced hunks of junk that don’t even work.

And there will be a body count to it. The deplorables will soak the streets in blood for him.

And then they’ll begin killing in his name, en masse, anyone who he commands them to, anyone who they perceive as “the other.”

At some point we’re going to have to confront the fact that more than 100 million Americans are vehement bigoted fascists.
