IMO the Democrats got crushed for several reasons:

This would be great for farmers and ranchers.

Thankfully, the Democratic establishment, of all things, may be rejecting this sort of racist pacification of racists.

This brings up a lot of strong emotions for me.

Dude, awesome. At no point have I accused you of not having issues in your life, but I think it’s clear that you have had different issues than the people you’re calling dumb. Other people are allowed to have problems too, even if they aren’t as severe as the ones that you’ve experienced and they aren’t dumb for…

To them it’s not lip service, it’s lip service to someone like me who is looking from the outside in. I don’t struggle financially and have job security, no family to support, and haven’t been cast aside. If all of those things applied to me, then I wouldn’t be seeing that as lip service, I’d see it as a glimmer of…

It must be nice to live the life of an elitist fuck. That’s the kind of attitude that doomed the Clinton campaign. The very same people you disparage build your homes, feed your family and pay the taxes for your “so-called” progressive agenda. These are the very people that the Democratic party are supposed to…

“And I, for one, think these rural and exurban morons are getting just what they deserve. And I hope the progressive movement moves on without them and gleefully throws them under the bus.”

“I have not adequately prepared myself to be competitive in the contemporary job market!”

Lots of trump voters felt uncomfortable admitting they supported him for fear of being shamed online by places like deadspin or in person by awful millennial liberals like Ashley. As a result, they didn’t admit their allegiances and the polls gave the Hillary campaign a false sense of security in Wisconsin and…

Hey Ashley. You realize you helped get trump elected right? Has that fact gotten through your skull? I know you aren’t bright or talented but you helped trump tremendously. Good job. You did this.

I second that. I don’t know if I can handle four years of “you won’t believe what Donald Trump said/did this time”. It’s either falling on deaf ears or preaching to the choir.

Ashley is just pandering to her base....let her write her hate and don’t question her!

You’re kind of making my point with your last paragraph though. The protests about Obamacare had a reason, and were about actual, tangible legislation that effects people.

No, they are in fact accomplishing something amazing - Proving that the US still works and is still the best country... in the world. 

I’m not supposed to tell you this, but this is the best outcome. Hillary started a nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine and Syria and everyone launched all their ICBMs. Luckily we went back and fixed it.

Blocking traffic is the answer. Blocking traffic is the answer to every question progressives ask nowadays

THe alt-left is determined to be as hatable as the alt-right. Their positions may be better, but they still act like petulant children.

Who knew that shining a laser at something was a surefire declaration of political affiliation. Feel free to keep marginalizing the people that came out and voted him into office though. That worked so well during the campaign.

I wasn’t aware that pointing a laser at a helicopter was a 100% accurate way of determining someone’s political affiliation.
