Back to the kitchen subhuman, make me my sandwich before I beat the **** out of you in front of the cops and then we all laugh at you.


***** stupid

I agree. I won't say that Bernie was robbed. I still believe if the DNC didn't a)get exposed for trying to discourage his voters and b) basically DEMANDING that you vote for Hillary 24/7, Hillary might have become president. Along with the Bernie Sanders issue, many people I know rejected Hillary because of constantly being told that she was our savior

They were trying to unify the party. They always do that.

it shouldn't be look at as some great disrespect. They would have had to do the same thing if Hillary lost.

 

[QU!K]

Everytime I realize this is really happening I legit get sick to my stomach

 

[shatterkneesinc]

Brahs, what you'll say, over or under 12 months before Trump's approval rating dips below 35 percent and the "Man I miss Obama" talk starts?

-Remember, the economy is probably be good for the first year. It is usually a rule that the previous president takes credit or blame for the first couple quarters of a new presidency.

 

[ksteezy]

The look on Trumps face is the epitome of chewing more than you can swallow....

Matter of fact Ima enjoy watching this clown burn on the most public stage of the world, all eyes on you Donald....make your move

 

[green rhino123]

Let's just say that some of us put more faith in the intellect of American voters. I was wrong about that.

If 'progressives' feel they are both morally & intellectually superior, did this work against them in this election?
Do they still feel this way? Perhaps even more now?

Oh course Bama got a short-term pass in the beginning of his first term due to the damage the Bush admin created.
This happens fairly often with presidents.

Will folks give Trump this pass? If things Bama was tangled with get worse in the beginning of Trump term 1?
Can folks even see it this way?

 

[daddy style]

People were so enraged about your take on race or that they argued every single point you made as if it were born out of complete isolated ignorance. They put their race blinders on ( oooohhhh unintentional bars kill em) and were gonna race that kentucky derby against you no matter what. They couldnt win with the extra lanky show ponys and clydesdales tho.
Now all they have left (more bars damn) is to shout white supremacy at everything and point fingers at one another.

You've just congratulated this man for denying his entire ancestral line. Great job.

 

[rolaholic]

Those 3 million votes are a DIRECT result of all we've been talking about regarding the DNC post election though. You don't want to acknowledge it for some reason though

********

Did the DNC make Bernie not campaign in the South, add criminal justice reform to his platform well after Hillary, underperfom in debates, and have economists point out he wasn't being forthcoming with his economic plans?

I would love to see the Wikileaks exposing that.

I'm getting lowkey tired of going around circles with you since you're being so rigid in your defense of how the Dems went about this election so here are my last thoughts on the matter

The DNC putting their resources and FULL backing behind one candidate from the ONSET was always gonna be almost insurmountable. The Clinton political machine was built over years in advance and had gotten to such a size that ANY Democrat opposing Hill had a mountain to climb. Given that the modern DNC, in all their corporate backed "New Dem" splendor, is absolutely terrified of any sort of modest "radical leftism" (the same "radical" ideas that are considered common around a lot of the West), half of the first debates were spent trying to undo the fear mongering behind the word socialist. Much of those same "radical" ideas are the exact kind of things that appeal to many Liberals, especially Obama voters, and get the enthusiasm going. In an election that was drenched in "anti-establishment" sentiment,you don't go with the same old "safe" choice or else you risk alienating all the people who are sick of all of that. some "radical" elements/ideas are needed to counteract the extremism on the other side.

Trump was leading the GOP primaries forever and looked like the candidate pretty early while the Dem primaries were much closer. The DNC could see the GOP having an unabashedly populist candidate in a political climate that favored that kind of candidate greatly over the "same old/establishment" candidate yet they still kept putting their institutional might and support behind that very candidate even when there was a strong opposition within the party. That turned off a decent chunk of their usual base who might've ended up not voting or going 3rd party as a result of the hostility that the very party they're supposed to believe in,treated any other "threat" to their favorite.

I'm not even talking about strictly Bern,things were set up so that even if a younger progressive candidate ran,they'd be tremendously handicapped by having to fight their own party on top of fighting for votes. It took a once in a generation political talent in Obama to defeat that machine and he had a perfect storm of factors coming off a disastrous GOP presidency and a changing electorate that was conducive to his rise.

In theory and in a normal election,you'd be right that Hillary was by far the most qualified candidate and most "presidential" and she'd probably win most of the time but this was NOT a normal cycle man and that became obvious early. You don't run the same gameplan,you adapt and change with the times and that's what didn't happen.

All of this could've been preventable if the DNC had even the slightest interest in bringing objectivity to the party and encouraging a real variety of ideas instead of forcing the standard party line down the throats of their base.

I have a hard time buying that all turned off/3rd party voters this time who were former Obama voters,wouldn't have voted for a candidate they trust who's platform was closest to that Hope and Change platform in '08. On top of that,I doubt the same candidate would've lost working class whites who ended up being one of the biggest deciding factors in the traditionally blue states they ended up losing like Michigan,Pennslyvannia,Wisconsin and NH.

I know you're probably gonna disagree and that's cool but those are just my last 2 cents on the subject looking in from the outside...*shrugs*

bruh he's planning to wash 25 executive orders DAY ONE. After that 1st hundred days, this country gonna be lookin like Tortuga

The Clinton campaign was an epic fail.

Some of this had to do with the voter ID laws and voter suppression tactics from the GOP. It was the same thing in NC. They actively targeted black and older areas and succeeded.

I'm really disturbed reading all these Hotep theories from some people this morning. Y'all want to be "woke" fine, but the rest of us are living in reality. This whole notion the Dems ain't never did anything for our community is patently false. The people only coming for them for handouts is insulting quite frankly. And the lack of participation and skepticism why we have a president elect that's the direct result of white supremacy.
