I honestly don’t know the Democrats answer to how globalization is only helping select careers and people. His policy was: he is going to bring jobs back. While this is completely vapid and he didn’t have specifics, it does have a better appeal than “we are going to destroy your industry.” Clinton is a professional…

Trump is a moron, a sexist, a racist, and a horrible person, but he acknowledged a problem. Yes, globalization is here to stay. Is there a way to distribute the wealth generated by globalization to everyone or will open borders and free trade only continue to help a very small slice of Americans? When Democrats…

His entire campaign is nationalistic. Really?

She literally said “we are gonna put a lot of coal miners out of business.” This was part of a longer answer in which she said she wanted to support blue-collar workers transitioning into other careers. The voters heard this and rightfully said, “what the fuck are you talking about?” Do you think a 50 year old coal…

This is a horrible understanding of politics. Policies definitely mattered this year. Whether or not Trump actually delivers on his policies is one thing, but he ran explicitly on an anti-NAFTA and anti-globalization platform. Yes, you can not discount or disconnect the racism, xenophobia, and sexism from him or the…

The Dems had a concert with two of the biggest stars in the world two days before the election and got their ass kicked.

We all laughed that Republican’s didn’t take their 2012 post-mortem seriously, and yet they won every branch of government and a majority of state houses and governorships. Every pundit needs to be purged.

The Democratic utopia is the same inequality trends we see now, but like three more women and black people are on the board of a mortgage company. Also, Social Security privatization is helpfully referred to as Future Investment Funds for Non-Workers Through Stock Leverage or some stupid shit.

Today, we just segregate and discriminate against the black and brown using more sophisticated methods. Yes, lynch mobs are not happening, but now the government can just kill people without consequence. Redlining is obsolete, but now the poor and people of color are just taken in by complicated mortgage fraud…

The ol’ “everyone else was supporting an illegal war” defense. Hillary Clinton is not a bigot, nor homophobe, but she will use their talking points to get elected. She probably has more liberal economic beliefs than she lets on, yet will never stick her neck out to help unions and the poor even after they gave her…

the plot is a girl complains about being stuck in a small town and not seeing the world, then decides to spend her life in one castle with the same six people. it’s about settling

democrats will scream that you are the company you keep when it comes to trump, but clinton will never be judged by the people she kept around her for twenty years.

I am researching going to Portland for vacation next year and the NYT has a 36 hours video where they visit a chocolate shop and the guy has a chocolate wig which looks exactly like Chaffetz’s hair:

as a teacher, in my professional opinion, this child now graduates with honors immediately

The Senate is outdated and completely stupid. The majority of Americans live in about 11 states. That means that states with low populations can block the will of a majority of Americans because: a system that was designed in compromise, by the owner/slaver class, and not necessarily meant to last forever, is stuck…

No. This is incorrect. Because of how basic division works, one electoral vote in Wyoming is worth far more than one electoral vote in California. As an American government teacher it makes me happy to know that there are still millions of Americans who both list facts incorrectly, and are smug about it.

I swear to god my old roommate would eat slower when we would all go out to dinner and be the ONLY PERSON still eating after like an hour in a group of ten people. Then, this fucker would order dessert and we would wait. No one said shit except me. I don’t talk to any of them anymore.

not voting for stein but the same argument about Clinton and Supreme Court justices could be applied here: she would pick a Fed chairman that agrees with her policies. Also, yes the Fed should print a shit load of money and give it to people. The problem with easing is its giving money to PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE IT. I…

It would make me ill if I saw the corks from every bottle of wine I drank in my life.

If you don’t think that there are massive, substantial differences between Republicans and Democrats policy preferences and political beliefs then you don’t understand American life, culture, or history. Being a Democrat is not just a Republican who doesn’t call themselves one. On every issue Democrats offer…
