No, she actually doesn’t. The only thing she ever proposed was an assault weapon ban and universal background checks. That’s not picking away. That’s keeping guns out crazy people’s hands, so some asshole can’t go and kill 26 people (including 20 kids) at an elementary school in the matter of minutes.

No, it’s convenient and easy to imagine yourself as the defender of the downtrodden, when all you actually had to do was vote for the only candidate who could have beat Trump and convince others like yourself to do the same. Then your so-called loved ones wouldn’t need you to white knight for them because they…

Yeah, she wanted background checks and a ban on assault rifles. I know, that’s so crazy, right?

But, DNC, emails, Debbie Schultz! But, but, but! God. I don’t know who I’m more angry with, butthurt Bernie bros or outright Trump voters. At least Trump voters are obvious with their sexism and gullibility.

It doesn’t really speak to her campaign. It speaks to the 25+ years of unrelenting lies and character assassinations against her. She was right all those years ago when she talked about a vast right-wing conspiracy. Most of the reasons, even in this thread, that people say they hate her are based on utter, provable…

You do realize there’s a world outside yourself and your feelings, right? You understand that an election isn’t about your integrity. It’s about choosing a candidate to fill a job. Maybe those candidates aren’t all you wished for. But one is objectively worse, as you yourself stated. So, by licking your wounds and…

But your LGBT, minority and other marginalized friends DIDN’T have your support. You were more concerned with your hurt feefees than what a Trump administration might mean for them. Tell those friends what you did and see how it makes THEM feel. If they’re better than me, they might forgive you.

I agree with this analogy, except to say that Hillary is a Ravenclaw. No fucking way is she a Hufflepuff. Bill might be a Hufflepuff, but that’s it.

Can’t say how many times I’ve said this in the last two weeks.

He could just have a very cold, unattached, absent father. That would explain a lot of the diffidence and detachment.

I hear you. You’re not wrong, but I am hesitant to discuss an innocent child who didn’t ask for any of this attention. And re: the Bible, the man didn’t even know how to pronounce the names of certain books. I think he’s as likely to have read the Bible as the Feminine Mystique.

Putting aside your conflation of old sperm with older fathers, that’s just one of the risk factors. Rates are higher among teen mothers, older mothers, when parents have a large gap in their ages, etc. Current thinking also indicates an environmental factor plus a genetic factor is at play, but they’re not sure which…

No, they don’t know what causes autism for sure. They think it’s a combination of genetic and environmental factors, but they don’t know which. They DO know that it’s not vaccines, however. I’ve never heard anyting like what you’re saying, but just anecdotally, my son is autistic and I was not very young, and had…

You’re right. I admit I’m a little sensitive on the issue. But yeah, it would be just like shithead Trump to be ashamed of his son. I just can’t decide it if would be the right thing to “out” him to the entire world. Barron is just a child, and he is entitled to privacy. But then, keeping it private (if in fact he is…

While I think Trump is entirely, unredeemingly shitty, I don’t really feel like it’s his obligation to talk about his son’s personal health issues. And honestly, I think it would be more shitty to use that (unconfirmed) diagnosis to win sympathy points. But yeah, he could try maybe not being a fucking asshole to…

Same and same. That’s one hell of a transition, and would need to be done in baby steps if at all.

Thank you! Same here, and I couldn’t understand why those hateful remarks were getting stars. I mean, Fuck Trump. Fuck him soundly. But please let’s leave his minor child (and all autistic people) out of this. And while we’re at it, can we stop speculating about diagnoses the kid may or may not have? They go low, we…

That’s not exactly accurate and FFS let’s leave the child’s disability out of this, if in fact he is even autistic. I know I sound like “Please think of the children,” but really let’s do “please think of the children.”

Please don’t do this. It’s hurtful to autistic people and children, who have as much to lose from Trump as any other vulnerable group. I love a good Trump joke, but let’s not go there.

But yeah, you’re right. Most people here don’t want an open and honest discussion with people who voted for this ignorant, racist, sexist con man in spite of all that ignorance, racism and sexism. I mean, why bother? Obviously Trump voters are impervious to logic and decency, otherwise they wouldn’t be Trump voters.…
