This kind of comment is the modern version of Poe. It’s literally impossible to distinguish a parody of a social justice signaller from the real thing.

Some of us were just sick of the bullshit of both parties, but our votes “don’t matter”.

I dont really want to get on the wrong side of this. Trump is a fuck and so is his entire family but I think what OP is trying to say is that some women actually do let famous people do whatever they want.

Is it possible to both 1) be knowledgeable and 2) agree with the conclusions expressed by the woman in the lede?

Oooooo you flagged me! Shall I consider myself, say, CHASTISED?

Seriously? We’re again going to go after the ten year old?

First, I’m sorry but I have to chuckle at your armchair psychologist approach to this whole thing. I’m not naive, nor am I incapable of having an honest discussion... please don’t treat me as such.

This is what bothered me. Picking a candidate with a hard, immovable 53% disapproval rating. Everybody knew her already and had made up their minds one way or another. I’m not saying that rating was fair, because it wasn’t. It’s at least 50% misogyny, but fair and real are not the same thing.

The American people don’t care about celebrities anymore you ass clown. They care about jobs.

You are making too much sense for Kinja. All these clowns want to believe in Russian hacker propaganda.

Russia didn’t sway the election, no matter how much they interfered. That may have reassured dyed-in-the-wool voters, but these were two terrible candidates with firmly entrenched bases. What won it for Trump was swing voters in Rust Belt states; they voted for him because they believed — supported by no evidence…

This is exactly why we are where we are. Progressives (and I consider myself one of them) have developed an ‘all or nothing’ view of the world. If a person does not agree with or support EVERY single one of our ideologies simultaneously then we don’t want them.

So you guys are still trying to explain away why Trump won????

I just don’t see how an attitude of, “They’re not REALLY on our side because they’re white” helps literally anything. Insulting and alienating people on your own team only helps the other team.
