His campaign was already well on its downward slide, it was just a convenient moment for lazy journos to hang a "welp, he's toast" sign. Plus well yeah he was a little bit of a spaz on stage.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.
the one thing that gives me some hope is from all the forums(and various threads here) seem to get it. the left can't play loving snarky ivory "progressives" any more, no more lovely celebrities. we have to be a populist party with real progrevissm and help both minorities and the white working/poor.

The question is whether or not they would do it if they had the votes. Considering half the country, or more, would be against them. That sort of action could literally destabilize the entire country and end up with some sort of low level civil war.

To actually do amendments, they'd have to call constitutional conventions and really, only the veto proof Rs would be able to get on the same page - it's never been tried and would probably end in disaster

Yeah, if they passed an amendment to outlaw abortion or something, you'd see a legit California secession movement

the "disaster" here is the terrifying part. if they called a convention just to make gun ownership mandatory and abortion illegal that would obviously be terrible but it wouldn't destroy the country overnight

BOOP

Last year a few minutes up the road from me, 15 white supremacists in pickup trucks waving confederate flags rolled up to a child's birthday party screaming the n word and threatening to kill people. My wife and I stood in line for over an hour to vote for a candidate that we both hated because we were afraid of what people like that would think they could get away with under Trump. All the while HRC is running a 2 billion dollar circle jerk instead of a real political campaign.

And if a group of Neo-Nazis decide its time to go full RaHoWa and start caving my neighbors skulls in? These self entitled fucks who ran this poo poo show will say from their safe little enclaves "Don't you wish you were #WithHer now?" while live tweeting their Esty results for designer bug out bags.

God, just gently caress these people forever.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

it's not about how we gave them money, it's about how they saved 10,000s of jobs in the rust belt and middle america

in 2012 obama used economic populism of saving those jobs combined with calling mitt romney a loving boss to bury him in the rust belt

So when we talk about Hillary voters in the general election class,

You are talking about minorities. We voted for Hillary.

You are talking about women. We voted for Hillary.

However,

Young white men with college degrees and in larger numbers white men without college degrees in large part voted for Trump.

Millenials had lower turnout (stayed home)

Left leaning independents voted third way or sat out.

So say it with me class, white men of all stripes voted for Trump, and those of them that did not agree with Trump but wanted to remain ideologically pure let him become president.

Millenials who at least have youth and naïveté to excuse them also sat home and let a racist clown become president.

Millennials and left leaning independents were what made up Bernie's voter base.

The party was split, and frustration led the Bernie supporter to stay home.

So stop blaming Hillary supporters.

That is tantamount to deliberately knocking over a glass and then lashing out at the concept of the glass existing.

When action was required, so called activists preferred to make an ideological point instead. That is fine by the way.

Just stop stringing up the only people who bothered to do something to fix the problem.
