Since nobody actually listened to what he said they assumed he'd do what they wanted (HES JUSt SAYING HELL GET RID OF THE HEALTH INSURANCE I RELY ON) and now the dread truth is starting to hit. Best thing to do is to point and laugh until they realize it (big if in a lot of cases), then show them how they can get active.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:honestly if you're a bernie supporter and turned coat for trump instead of not voting (understandable) or voting for retard stein or gary fucknuts you're about as smart as the people being made fun of in twitter screenshots here Whoa whoa whoa there. Let me explain myself! At the time I voted I was pretty sure we'd be hearing people bitch about President Hillary for the next 4-8 years. But I live in a state that has the totally sane and reasonable system of representative democracy that gives 11 electoral votes to the republican that gets 1.5 million votes and none to the democrat that got 1 million votes. So it really doesn't matter that I voted for Jill Stein just so I could vote against both Trump and Hillary. But mostly I did it so I can totally own someone who tries to use the whole "you're just too sexist and afraid to vote for a woman" thing when I tell them I didn't vote for Clinton. My goal is to get someone flustered enough to say something like "not voting for Hillary is a form of rape."

My goal is to get someone flustered enough to say something like "not voting for Hillary is a form of rape." I understand the idea but the DNC can't get their head out of their rear end enough to get enough democrats to vote, no way they are even paying attention to protest votes. But the way Trump's ego couldn't handle losing by 3 million he'd have a loving epic meltdown if it was by 10 million. In a non lovely world that would maybe get people to agree the EC is loving broken but it just seems to gently caress over democrats so still won't happen.

I honestly don't think any of these stories are real. No one ever admits they're wrong, they justify why their current situation (no health care, loved one stuck in Iran) is actually cool and great and maybe my husband should travel less for work and it's not like I needed that heart transplant anyway.

Clinton has both publicly and privately explained that she views fracking, under the right circumstances, as the most environmentally sound method of transitioning away from other fossil fuels such as oil and coal. She has also said that fracking can make the U.S. and other nations energy independent, a foreign policy goal that may weaken gas exporting countries such as Russia. agreed, friend. this isn't a worthwhile tangent

PleasingFungus posted:This is an idiotic reaction to a phenomenon of mass ignorance. You should be reaching out to these people and trying to educate them as a basis for forming a real mass politics. They obviously didn't decide they don't want healthcare, or else they wouldn't express the fear that they're gonna lose it. They thought Trump was going to replace the ACA with a better healthcare system, which is what he actually said. They didn't think he'd try to wipe it all out in one fell swoop without an alternative plan. That makes them idiotic rubes, not maliciously self-destructive psychopaths. This has always been a country of rubes and con men, and you can't blame people for their gross ignorance when the system is built up to keep them that way.
