Okay; you focus on whatever is most important to you. Except that I’m not taking your calls tomorrow.

That’s mostly true. It seems like there’s a shift going on in our politics too, and the republicans seem to understand that identities like gender and race and even profession transcend political parties.

Well, this could be said for many elections....

There are rumors he wasn’t quiet and by the end threw up his hands. IF that’s the case, it would make sense that he was the one to convince her to concede that night: he saw the writing on the wall and knew she wouldn’t pull it off.

If he knew Hillary wasn’t doing the right thing, why keep quiet?

And yet Trump will be our next president. It’s almost like the US presidential elections aren’t as simple as the time you won the hall monitor position in fifth grade.

If only if that were how our elections worked.

Can’t wait for the democrats to spend the next four years having their dick measuring contest and talking about how they totally could have beat Trump unlike that stupid ol’ girl that no one likes anyway instead of actually recognizing that Trump won because of a combination of the deep well of racist/classist/sexist…

Yeah, I can’t believe anyone would ever think otherwise. Obama would have won hands down over pretty much anyone the GOP put up; he certainly would have mopped the floor with that orange idiot.

It’s already their business model.

That should be twitters motto.

Fuck everyone involved in this story, including Ciccarelio. You’re not making some profound satirical statement about racism. You’re provoking trolls with dipshittery to draw attention to yourself.

Idiot posts something idiotic, other idiots react to it idiotically. Got it.

Apparently we’re supposed to be outraged that people are outraged that a guy said something that, outside of some fairly specific context, is fairly outrage-inducing?

I feel like the response to his statements was a pretty predictable outcome.

Yeah, I’m not rewriting history, you are. Trump didn’t take Bernie’s argument, that’s absurd. In between insulting minorities and women and foreigners, Trump was striking the same populist chords as Bernie throughout this campaign. That’s because that was what was resonating.

I work as an Election Inspector. I have nothing but anecdotal evidence, but I believe the polls failed to account for a segment of the population that had literally NEVER VOTED BEFORE who suddenly turned out to vote for Trump. We had people who were 40+ years old who had no idea how to vote, because they had never…

I see people all the time say “WHO CARES IF HILLARY IS UNLIKABLE WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!”

Trump was also up against basically the worst candidate the Democrats could have put forward. No personality, decades of baggage, averse to transparency, motivates the other side against her, unwilling to change or listen to others, and spent her time running a victory lap instead of a campaign.
