So the big news is ofc that Trump has won and he has won pretty bigly. Remember when bigly was funny because lol the wacky tv man is running for office lets make jokes about him. let's treat him like a joke while giving him endless tv time and talking about how he's SO CRAZY that he wants to deport mexicans and stop gay marriage, aka the things the republican party wants their candidates to do. you loving idiots you did this so anyway it turns out that democrats decided not to go with the populist Bernie Sanders, who was doing well with demographics that democrats often struggle to get into polling booths such as the youth and new voters and instead chose hillary clinton because they are idiots. you can believe it was race fixing if you like, or you can just believe that it was a stupid decision made fairly, that's up to you. but then even though literally every polling prediction company in america said hillary would win, donald trump won and the democrats lost and they lost heavily. sure dems had a few wins -- tammy duckworth took over a senate seat, for example -- but it's a far cry from the wave they needed to take the senate. with one scotus hole already extant and more likely on the way it's going to be a very different supreme court. trump has vowed to destroy roe v wade but there's plenty other civil rights contingent upon supreme court rulings and nothing else. For example, gay marriage in states with no gay marriage laws is solely a right because of a 5-4 decision in the Supreme Court. And of course scotus can overturn any law they want, too, as they did with much of the voting rights act and may do with the rest of it. but they will also make america great again. i guess? anyway have fun in november and stuff. welcome to the year 2000 bitches!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L9kJtAM4D0 corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Nov 9, 2016 |

Sorry man, but https://twitter.com/CarlBeijer/status/796222773970567171 This kind of narrative needs to change, because while white people caused a lot of trouble, they were not the Democrats only problem.

I am not going to try and see the bright side or figure out who's to blame or whatever. Just, take care of each other and yourselves, everybody. I don't think I'm going to be able to talk much about politics for a while. But take care.

I think I'm going to take a break from politics. It's not good for me to see ideals and hopes being dashed by the hatred and ignorance of the public. We're entering dark times and it's best that I focus on something else for a while.

Dreylad posted:Good Lord (har har) remember how having that scotus vacancy was supposed to make the gop look bad? i'd argue it's actually a huge part of why they did so well -- it's the first election since roe v wade where they were able to say definitively "vote for us and abortion will be banned" and be right. hell, they might very well be able to ban gay marriage, too! none of this "maybe rbg will die" nonsense, there's a straight chance to get back 50 years of civil rights changes in one election and they seized on it like their souls depended on it

corn in the bible posted:maybe latinos were white all along All three of the "Latinos" in my private school graduating class had naturally blue eyes. Latino is a bizarre NA concept that assumes that all of the people who speak Spanish must naturally be a uniform group. Most of those countries have a hella conservative white overclass that hates the blacks and indians as much as every other white person. Maybe more.

Also, the much lauded LEGALIZE WEED DUDE propositions that have been passed will be meaningless if a Trump DOJ decides to enforce the still-present federal laws and go shut down the dispensaries like they used to do for medical marijuana. There's a ton of stuff we've just gotten used to, because government has been deadlocked for so long, that all of a sudden is back in action.

You can't just namecall and bully people all the time and expect them to suddenly want to take your side on anything. As for Clinton herself. I never want to hear about her again. She came to the Super Bowl to play against a loving amateur, and lost. You're supposed to be the career politician, you're supposed to be the chessmaster, and you get beat by the most beatable candidate ever? Get lost.

I mean, along with a lot of other important stuff, but that was something that had been so deadlocked it had completely fallen off the table and now suddenly there is nothing stopping Republicans from marching in.

At the end of the day, we thought there was no way we could lose, so we decided to chastise the voters we would eventually need instead of courting them, full-stop. I'm sure it felt really good to do at the time but it just cost us the loving election.

I am grateful that I'm a straight white male, because things are going to be absolutely terrible for every other group in America for the next few years if not decades. Sorry that we couldn't unite and do better as a country or even a human race, everyone.

Sure is a real lucky coincidence for him that he only went up against terrible awful candidates who couldn't win against anyone! After all, I'm sure he certainly would have lost to the candidate who lost to a terrible awful candidate who couldn't win against anyone. There's no way a professional con artist and fraudster could possibly be a decent political campaigner, especially when he's also a celebrity with reality show experience!

Combining all minorities and women to try to make it look like they came out in force for Trump is dumb and weird. You'd get the same "more than 50" result for the Bushes, Romney, and McCain This was just the dying spiteful gasp of the Republican main voting block. Trump got white women at the same rate as Obama got all women, 52%. He got slightly more of the black and latino vote, but even latinos were still democrat 2-1. This was a vote decided largely by the mobilization of conservative White Males. Schizotek fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Nov 9, 2016 |

Also, it's an easy out to lay the blame at the feet of initial-capped Group I Don't Like but if we want to win future elections we probably should think a little harder.
