Well I can say, for starters, that the Republicans control the whole government, so I expect no excuses from them or attempts to blame Democrats. Step aside and watch the GOP work its magic.

So true. These people live in a bubble, and have been told the same old lies over and over and over. They’ve also been told the Clintons are devils on Earth, if not worse. Instead of talking policy, they simply chant “lock her up!” Speaking of which, DT promised to do just that if elected. Will his voters be watching…
But Democrats and liberals haven’t ignored them. Democratic politics are what the white middle and lower classes should want! But as you said, the GOP has brainwashed these people for decades, and that’s the problem. It’s how you get those without health insurance raging against the ACA, or the “Get your government…
This is not true. They have been lied to for the past 8+ years about how voting against their own self-interest is good for them. So they do this, things get worse, and their elected officials tell them to blame the Mexicans and blacks and immigrants.
The white middle class for some reason never realized that the Democrats have been fighting for them for 40+ years. Who do these people think belong to Unions?
Why do the Democrats always have to play nice, why do we always have to take the high road, why do we always have to be bipartisan. I say fuck all that, it’s obvious the other side refuses to compromise.
They could go for the nuclear option regarding the filibuster for SCOTUS, as there aren’t enough GOP senators to avoid one. That’s a scary thought, but HRC would’ve had to do the same thing even if Dems took the Senate, so that was probably never going to see the next decade anyway.
I’m ready for Dems in congress to just go full Tea Party. No attempts at governing, just obstruct whatever the opposing party is trying to do and hope you get rewarded come midterms because they’re in charge now and then everything can be blamed on the GOP. Why not?
It’s like these folks came out of the Rust Belt to vote against their own self-interests in order to burn some other disadvantaged folks that they thought were getting a better shake.
Spoiler alert: it’s not going to get better for them. It’s been downhill for them since the Reagan administration, but they keep voting for the folks that ship their jobs overseas, bankrupt their pensions, pull their social safety nets, etc. Asking for sympathy while shooting yourself in the foot really only…
No, you have to trade places with one of us, according to the conventions of the Trump/InCaseOfEmergency,HaulAss Accord.
Great words but the quotidian needs of movement-building are tough.
Still, it’s some kind of moral victory, IMHO. It’s bullshit your votes are discounted because you live on the coasts. Fucking Founding Fathers.
Figuratively speaking. I mean the Democratic establishment taking poor and working class votes for granted.
Californians have moved to Nevada turning it blue. They need to do their part and move to Florida and Ohio.
The idea of blaming Democrats for running a highly capable and qualified candidate against the horror that is Trump - blaming US for this situation - is offensive and absurd. It is NOT the fault of the party that chose someone qualified to lead. It is the fault of the people and party that chose a racist, unqualified,…
Forgetting someone? Stein is guilty AF too and blood is definitely on her hands. I know it’s the cat’s ass ‘round here to beat up on Libertarians but The Greens can take a big bite of the shit pie too.
Seriously? This shit again?
this is bargaining.
I heard some pundit say on my way in to work that Hillary might win the popular vote by two million? That can’t be true, can it? When I look it up she’s ahead by 200k. At least that can go a long way to making him seem illegitimate.
