I suppose so but we'll see.

You're right, but I think it was difficult to foresee just how awful the American public is. The lesson here is to abandon civility, kindness, intellectualism, and cooperation. The Democrats should campaign on being loudmouthed, idiots, who don't use casual bigotry to incite the KKK.

Name one American candidate who had no enthusiastic base but won solely because of how horrible their opponent was known to be? I can think of several who ran against unpopular opponents but because their message was solely "Get a load of this guy" could not win

The fact is that those many of those same "bigots" who elected Donald Trump also elected Barack Obama twice. While it might be that America is just full of bigots, couldn't it also be that there are some who are not bigots but also just did not like Hillary? Isn't it possible that maybe, just maybe, a candidate with support of their own could have swayed them not to vote against someone as awful as Trump but to actually vote for them?

This is 100% a matter of Hillary being a terrible candidate. She had no positions of any kind (Third Way Democrat) and she was shown to be corrupt and lying most of the time. She voted for the Iraq War. Her surrogates were shown to have plotted against her democratic opponent in their roles with the party. Her supporters alienated young voters who supported her opponent in the primaries and her party's other key bloc, black voters, she had called "superpredators". Her husband was in power when mandatory minimum sentencing, a key factor in the systematic destruction of the black family, was instituted. He was also responsible for getting NAFTA passed which coincidentally destroyed Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania's middle class (do those states sound familiar?). So there went the union vote. And after all of that, did you seriously expect that there was going to be enthusiastic support just because the other guy's terrible?

Lest we forget, all the other Republicans are equally as terrible. You still have to give the left a reason to support you.

So here is my question: what does improve when you get isolationism and nationalism? For whom?

That's a real question. Like, don't worry about couching it. Owners of capital, I assume?

To be honest, I think women's rights will remain in relative stasis, i.e. bad. Abortion might get worse but I'm not sure if wage gap and etc. will be especially affected, just stymied.

Basically, isolationism and nationalism tends to improve nothing and a build up of it lead to the first world war.

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Holy loving poo poo America, never go full Trump.

This probably means more war, hysteria, ignorance, sensationalism and a increasing downward slide towards fascism. That would likely happen regardless.

For those who are thinking that Bernie as a primary candidate would be different, he would simply have been lambasted as a communist like Corbyn was in the UK, so i doubt that'd be better, even thought he was the most reasonable candidate.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I think if any information can be gleaned from this it's that Clinton massively underestimated the coalition of working class whites that helped Obama get elected and probably poured too many resources into AA + latino voters to carry the coalition. But who cares about that at this point, it's like studying the fall of Rome. It's all hosed.

Well, it's all 20/20 hindsight. Trump's campaign thought that they had lost. If anyone had seen this coming they'd have done things differently on both sides.

Even though I'm a really liberal Canadian I absolutely could not stand Rachel Maddow's show for the last few weeks. She was exceptionally partisan, sometimes for legitimate reasons but other times she'd completely ignore legitimate concerns over Hillary. It felt like a show put together by the DNC for the DNC

I kind of want to watch it tomorrow now. It was enjoyable sometimes before the primaries
