First, I agree that the ‘racist’ claims need to stop. It’s not that I think they aren’t true to a degree, but that it’s counterproductive at this point.

“build a strong coalition of those suffering from inequality”

The problem is poor whites absolutely refuse to believe that programs that help poor minorities can help them too.

So you believe the party should reject a person for a position they are qualified to hold based on race, but should not have to suffer hearing anyone mention the word “racism” as a result. That’s not how words work.

I am plagiarising someone but “Voting for Trump does not necessarily make you racist. However, it does mean you did not consider overt racism a disqualifying factor for a president.”

We don’t have to reach out to poor whites in rural areas. Time will take care of them. The country is becoming better educated and more diverse as time goes on.

Sorry Brody, they are exactly racist pacifiers. They had at least 3 other candidates they could have chosen and they went with the racist/misogynist one. And now acts of hate seem to be spiking across the nation. I have zero empathy fucks to give.

Here’s the thing though. Democrats did. I reposted this all over the place today, but it bears repeating.

A massive amount of people shut down New York City in 2008 with signs that said, “Not My President” after Obama was elected? Can you show me pictures of this? I don’t believe you.

One thing I have been thinking about is we never got a legitimate doctor to sign off on Trump’s health. We know this job ages even people who are in great shape like GWB and Obama. Trump could be headed for a heart attack and a medical resignation.

I thought your election was rigged though.. forgive my ignorance (I’m Canadian, so I’ve been watching closely, but maybe I missed something crucial), but didn’t your President Elect spend a considerable amount of time stating *as fact* that the whole process was rigged? Surely there will be an official inquest into…

Maybe his bone spurs will start acting up.

Oh jeez, you weren’t part of the Malheur National Refuge takeover, were you? I’m from the West too. I think we’d find more common ground on gun rights if you guys weren’t so all or nothing about every proposed regulation. I grew up around guns and still don’t believe people should be walking around Walmart openly…

How does that work, though? You compare Jezebel to Fox News. Here we champion inclusiveness and social progress. Fox News is a hate-stoking machine that mixes actual news and loaded commentary so seamlessly that its viewers no longer know the difference. How are we supposed to meet in the middle when the right HATES…

Are you being willfully obtuse or are you just that privileged? People aren’t just bummed that their pick didn’t win, as I was when GWB took office. People certainly aren’t accusing Trump of not being American, or of being a Muslim, as they did when Obama took office. PEOPLE ARE SCARED SHITLESS. And rightly so,…

Does literally no one remember that Trump himself wouldn’t refer to Obama as his own president in the third debate? He literally told Hillary “your president.”

“He’s black and we hate him” are not good reasons. Trump repeatedly questioned Obama’s legitimacy and gave rise to the birther movement. If you still think that makes me saying #notmypresident ironic, OK, fine. I accept my hypocrisy. But I do see a difference.

When people respond that I’m being “just like them,” I want them to show me evidence that Obama ran on a platform of sexism and bigotry and spittle-encrusted hatred. Prove to me that he was the least qualified man ever to run for president. Show me how the Democrats encouraged espionage to take down Obama’s opponents.…

nah

People think the worst things about the Trump presidency is that Donald Trump is a hate-spewing, divisive narcissist with no experience or plan.

But the worst thing for me is that Mitch McConnell is happy.
