And the attacks, ridicule and smearing keeps on coming for poor ol Jill

I mean Jill Stein has only been campaigning to dismantle institutional racism/sexism, for a single-payer health care system, fighting climate change, and ending mass incarceration.

Yes Jill isn't the perfect candidate and has many flaws but she is genuine and for the most part I agree with her platform. .

That's not democracy, and that's why the 2 party system will continue to thrive.

Yup. It's pretty ridiculous. A wasted vote is writing in Haraambe for president, not picking someone who is seriously trying to run. This mentality of "you HAVE to vote for Hillary" that the Hillary campaign & supporters kept harassing people with turned off MANY voters in this election and encouraged more Trump inbreds to come out and vote against her.

I feel like we are going in a circle in here. The facts were that Hillary lost due to Democrat voters not going out there to vote and the Trump supporters came in full support. It's all in the past. Focus should be on how the DNC should repair their reputation after the L they just took.
In the words of Trump, they gotta drain the swamp. Losing to Trump of all people is a monumental L that won't be easily repaired.
Perhaps if DNC can build back the trust of the voters the next two years, GOP will see a surprise happening in the midterms
And by building back that trust, they are going to have to appeal to the blue collar workers out there at Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc
if the republicans cause another recession by those midterms, it's going to be a wrap for the house and senate.
 
It's pretty ironic that dudes compare Trump to dictators but then go and demand that you vote for a certain candidate (and use you as a scapegoat if you don't) :lol

The House is so gerrymandered it won't be up for grabs given current trends for maybe another 10-16 years.

The GOP have a legit shot at a super majority.

And the Dem's platform had tons for the blue collar worker, it is just that Trump lied to these people to get votes. How are the Dems suppose to cater to them? By lying too? By being xenophobic?

A vote for someone you believe in is not a vote for Trump. That's ridiculous and goes against the point of voting. Hillary didn't lose because of third party voters, she lost because inbreds came out in full force to vote, self hating Latinos voted Republican, and others stayed at home due to not trusting the Democratic Party anymore

Wow that's racist. Like saying all the thugs who don't work or pay taxes and suck the system dry voted for Hillary. All whites are inbreds = all blacks are thugs. I read between the lines your racism is showing. Good one chief. This country is in for a hell of a ride.
 
A lot didn't believe in Stein or Johnson they just wanted to spite the DNC. They're lack of consolidation despite the turnout on Drumpf's side would have made the difference.

Its crazy how Clinton didn't spend time talking about Stein and Johnson instead of ignoring them. Clinton wasn't a terrible candidate but I doubt Obama would of lost due to 3rd party influence. Clinton is just bad at campaigning.

? Did I mention all white people or do you feel offended because the description fits you? Plenty of white people didn't vote for Trump, do you see me calling them hicks? I'm technically half white anyway.

When you don't get pulled over, and having to sit on a sidewalk handcuffed for driving 5 miles over the speed limit, while the police are going through your car, your glove compartment, and your personal belongings.

Yeah like that happens to every minority in the country???? :rolleyes Give it a rest G. Like White people never get pulled over, shoot at or killed by a cop??

Should we tally up the totals for this year??? :rolleyes

If you're fine with being targeted by the police, that's on you. Don't keep people from speaking up against mistreatment just because "it happens to you more"
 
So the GOP now controls 69 of 99 legislative chambers at the state level...

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/governor-races/305228-gop-makes-big-gains-at-the-state-level

Republicans expanded their ranks of governors, winning Democratic-held seats in Vermont, New Hampshire and Missouri. The party also made gains in state executive offices and in legislatures across the country.
By Wednesday morning, Republicans had won control of the Iowa state Senate, the Kentucky House and the Minnesota state Senate.

Democrats gained enough seats to pick up control of both chambers in Nevada’s state legislature, as well as the New Mexico state House. North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper (D) leads Gov. Pat McCrory (R) by just 5,000 votes out of more than 2.5 million cast; the Associated Press has not called that race.

The results mean Republicans appear likely to have added to their already considerable power in the states, riding a wave of populism headed by President-elect Donald Trump….

If current results hold, Republicans will control 69 of 99 legislative chambers across the country. Democrats will control only 30, the same breakdown as before voters went to the polls.

Republicans defended virtually every state legislature where their narrow majorities were in peril. The party appears to have preserved narrow one-seat majorities in the New York and Washington state Senates, both chambers in which a Democrat caucuses with Republicans to give them control. Republicans also defended slender majorities in state Senate chambers in Maine, Colorado, New Hampshire and West Virginia.

In two of the three states where Republicans won new majorities — Kentucky and Iowa — GOP victories mean the party will control both chambers of the legislature and the governor’s mansion. In Minnesota, Gov. Mark Dayton (D) now faces a Republican legislature for the final two years of his term.

Postmortem: it was a bloodbath :x :{

Dems lost state seats in Vermont and NH man...:{

I'm not going to wish for it, but if the economy implodes like nuclear style after the policies they enact, GOP gonna be running out of excuses to blame minorities and Obama
But reality will probably be what you just said [emoji]128528[/emoji]

So why don't they run in state and local elections?

They have positions in local governments.

Famb, they are gonna have to do a whole lot better than that. C'mon

You have yet to prove this happened, which it didn't. That is what I am trying to point out.

You keep repeating the DNC should have rolled with Bernie, but not facing the fact that would have splinter the party. Not bring us together.

Youve been a steadfast clintonyte, but let it go. The corporate democrat archetype has been thoroughly repudiated.

What planet are you living on. I gave tons of money to Bernie, and I defend his socially democratic policies the most here.

The DNC and Hillary ran on the most progressive platform in decades. And people didn't show up to vote for it.

Wake up, it is not neoliberalism democrat that took an "L" last night, it was progressivism .
