Regarding Social Security - wouldn't eliminating that be a death knell for Republicans? Their main support is old white people, I'd think that would cut their votes big time if they floated that.

They've mastered the art of blaming everything on the Democrats, so probably not.

remember how fired up we were about bernie. remember that excitement, that vigor, that zeal? remember how carelessly we were cast aside as stupid losers and told to support the blandest, most boring, arrogant campaign ever? remember being made to feel like an impotent jilted scumbag having the audacity to harbor any resent? i remember.

Remember when the camps opened up? Remember when the reports came out? Remember when the war ended and we were split between West and East America by the Russian wall? My smug sense of superiority really helped.

By the way, voted Bernie in the primary myself, but the Bernie bros revenge shtick is tiring.

Actual IRL people I know, people whose opinions I respect, told me I was sexist for liking Bernie Sanders

Identity politics leaking into actual politics sure was a blast, now we've got President Trump, can we please run on some actual populism next time now

Free constant media coverage of Trump or the fact that CNN hired a Trump campaign figurehead and gave them a platform to constantly talk up Trump.

gently caress our media. I hope the Trumpstaffel puts them up against the wall.

That free media was a boon during the primary but that same Media became rabidly anti-Trump during the general.

Yeah Corey hire was hosed, but CNN was consistently anti-Trump, especially after he punked them.

Remember everyone laughing when Trump surrogates were getting 'dunked' on every night?

I think we agree on a lot of things but I think that modern feminism's failure to have specific policy goals is a real issue that has pissed me off a long time

No this I agree with. This is where it will have to either flourish or die off at this point for a new path, because lol now there will be ACTUAL grievances to come in this wake instead of feigned outrage over minor slights.

Basically there will be some major refocus once more crazy guys are emboldened and think it's okay to grab pussies, you see~

Hillary didn't sell me a racist protectionist fantasy and that's why I didn't vote for her

I enjoy how hateful racists can only ever relate to others through the lens of hateful racism. Racism wasn't the only way to reach out to rural whites. Bernie did quite well with them by trying to push universal healthcare and socialism lite. Of course, the hateful racists screamed that was racism somehow because of course they would.

Maybe the mistake was in running a real dog poo poo candidate and hoping to shame everyone into voting for her?

Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
They would have a hard time slashing social security because Dubya already tried it and the reaction was so negative he had to cancel the plans. And I know it's meaningless coming from Trump, but he did say during the primary he would protect social security and was the only Republican to do so.
