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…

As a white woman who voted for Clinton what is more upsetting to me than the fact that this is what happened is the strident refusal to insist this did not actually happen. Everyone wants to talk about the 8% of blacks who voted for Trump or the 29% of “Hispanics” who voted for Trump. 53% of white women and 63% of…

Democrats play cliches. My brother in law is Latino and noted that when Dems speak to Latinos, the talk about immigration almost exclusively (or the attendant issues surrounding immigration). But native-born Latino Americans generally don’t rank immigration as a high-priority item for them. They rank the economy high,…

Whew, boy! One thing I’ve learned from the internet is how much white people hate to be called racist. Boy, y’all (I’m assuming you’re white, Sean Brody) really hate that shit, huh? Your response to this well-written commentary is “stop making me feel racist and maybe then I’d tell you why I decided to vote for the…

I think an awful lot of people are going to take all the wrong lessons from this election and maybe lose again because of it in 2020. Look, this stuff isn’t complicated. People are able to compartmentalize and rationalize a lot of stuff away. Take Obama - who on the left things bombing civilians on the other side…

Yeah that’s a frightening turn in rhetoric. Alienating ourselves from everyone else further won’t help.

I think we also can’t deny that we had a less inspiring and motivating candidate.

From what I heard, turn out was low. So those progressives likely just stayed home because Clinton didn’t try to get them out or energized, and her supporters were pretty much dicks to them for the last year and a half. Which isn’t really a great excuse when it’s lead to Trump as our President, but I understand why…

You have to take this energy and be more compassionate. We are the liberals. Our first mission is to get back to what made us this way. Stop belittling southerners and conservatives just because they grew up in a different situation with different experiences. They have different values than us, and we have to stop…

#notallwhitewomen.

Remember, fewer people wanted Trump elected than wanted Romney or McCain elected.

I know we’re mad. But insulting those people will not work. It didn’t work we need to show them how our economic beliefs can benefit all Americans instead of calling them stupid hillbillies( although many are). Liberalism has become more Hollywood and less working class people throughout the years and this election…

I wish other countries would just shun him. Avoid dealing with him and the USA, make trade deals and alliances with each other, instead. I’m sick of Canada being so inextricably tangled up with our neighbour to the south, to be honest. It’s something of an intimidating relationship, where our economy and our policies…

While I know there were some protests over Trump during the past year and a half, I can’t wonder why there weren’t more, and on this scale, and wonder how many of these protesters actually voted in the Reckoning yesterday.

Whereas it seems to be that Clinton supporters are totally unwilling to accept she was a weak candidate. People didn’t like her because they’re misogynists!

It really floors me that Hillary supporters can be just as ignorant and ridiculous as Trump supporters. I could give you an objective list of why she was a bad Democratic candidate and you would just sit there and respond with “SEXIST REDNECK”.

Sanders would’ve taken it in a landslide; Trump didn’t win this election, Hillary lost it. She is, and always was, a bad candidate.

It’s not that simple—it’s not just about hating women, sorry. There’s more than that here. Although, post-primary, I was an ardent Clinton supporter, it is clear that Clinton was not the right candidate for the current political climate in America. All summer I believed that wasn’t the case, that she could and would…

Many people here will say that they got called nasty names because they deserved it.

Not really men. It’s white people.
