***Official Political Discussion Thread***

They lost the house,the senate and the white house to a movement spearheaded by the least qualified candidate ever. They tragicallly misjudged the politcal climate of the electorate

Say they do go with Bernie? Would you have expected the people who voted for Clinton just to fall in line, even though she clearly won?

I'm not suggesting taking the nomination like that man :lol,just that it should've been a way more level playing field from the onset with institutional support from the DNC and the Democratic media establishment being spread out evenly instead of overwhelmingly in one direction
What leveled playing field? Its Bernie's fault he didn't reach minorities effectively.

He lost by millions of votes.
 
 
No I had nothing to do with that, and my ancestors didn't either (Italian and Irish decent.) 

If you think just because my skin is a different color I won't protect myself and my family you're sorely mistaken. 

I am all about getting rid of the old backwards *** white ******* who are set in their ways, but if you think a good person who has never pre judged or mistreated someone because of the color of their skin once is going to lay down and just let evil people take over, it's not going to happen.
the thing about white privilege is that your ancestors would have been more accepted in society and had more opportunities compared to a black person if they were in the same situation as your ancestors based on the color of their skin that is a fact. and the sad thing is that it isn't just old white people but many white people who supported a platform on fear and hatred. I'm not for blaming all white people but there is and has always been a severe disconnect with white people in this country that do not understand just how greatly the system benefits them to the point where it is ingrained in our culture. i think one of the first steps to solving this problem is a greater need to get them and all white people to understand this
 
the same people that didnt vote back then for bernie, didnt vote in this election either

half the country didnt vote

Awesome man, I'm glad you said that. Now THIS is a step in the right direction. 

However my grandfather on my mothers side was discriminated against very harshly (look up what they did to the Irish when they came over) but I get what you are saying, when it comes to treating people ****** just for who they are black people have the crown on that one (sadly)

thanks man and i understand the discrimination that irish and italians faced when they first moved to the country. i def get that but my problem is that they were able to assimilate into white america and benefit from the same institutions that persecutes blacks and they didnt help to alleviate the plight of colored people around them. (i aint talking about your folks specifically I'm sure they nice people lol)

Oh yeah for sure. Eventually (through the forming of gangs) they weaseled their way into society, and they had it easier because they look European. (which makes no ******* sense lol.) 

 Even from an early age I thought the concept of treating someone differently just because they look different was completely ******* ******ed.
 
Chuck Shumer gonna have his hands tied. He has to block a lot of what trump wants to do and force him to use executive power.
 
Why do I have a odd feeling Trump isn't gonna officially accept being president and basically withdraw [emoji]129300[/emoji]
 
You're right. I should have said "enlightened" instead of educated.

There are some very educated powerful racist ******* out there.

That's why sadly I don't think it can be completely eliminated. Just like religion will survive despite what we know to be facts.
