Gotta see the film, its pretty great. America is an immature teenage girl who is seeking attention and reaffirmation of her insecurities. Trump understood this and hosed that teenage America.

poo poo, dude. After having only white men as president since the foundation of America, and then for 8 years having a man, only his skin color was different. And that was SO BAD America is now just an innocent little girl waiting for the heroic white dude #49 to come in and call her a oval office.

Do y'all understand how our public institutions came to be? Hatred of identities. We got social security because it took from minorities to give to white women. We got school lunches and national fire codes out of hatred for catholics. We got a standardized rail gauge out of hatred for southerners. We got prohibition out of a hatred for germans, and repealed it out of a hatred for women.

America runs on hate and power for white folk. Use that hatred to advance an evidence-based agenda which benefits all deserving Americans.

You're a lot less funny when there are people out there actually saying this dumb poo poo.

1) Nothing matters
2) Fake news is at least as good as real news
3) lmao at anyone in the 90s that thought the internet was going to be good for society.
4) The democratic party blows
5) never ever vote for a 3rd party candidate.

6) liberals hate the rural poor

Solution to gender issues: have policy which recognizes that one parent should be able to afford to stay home to raise the kids while the other works, and socially shame all the single parents in america.

You can't have gender equality without criminalizing adultry. How the gently caress else ya gonna get political systems on board than making it a holier than thou moral crusade?

Yeah, good point. I have friends that have escaped rural communities to live in cities, and they don't even think about going back to help, even if they're involved in politics. Once you've moved to the city, the problems of racism and sexism remain a daily part of your life while the problems of rural America aren't. If you're a capable person growing up in a rural area, you're probably moving to the city for the opportunities there. Just a bad situation all around.

ATC isn't going to be privatized, the user fees would make it way more expensive to fly private aircraft which is why it hasn't been done already. I doubt Trump will be on board with that.

Why can't we privatize ATC and give a nice big tax break for private jet fees too?


I bet a Trump can get behind a reduction in private jet fees.

Someone mentioned to me that the Clinton Foundation is corrupt because it "paid for Chelsea Clinton's wedding." I heard this before, but never from a reputable source. Is this simply based on a Wikileaks released email whose context or truthfulness we do not know? It seems to me like it would have made headlines if true.

and then if you complain about rising airfare costs, well maybe you should have just bought a private jet instead. Look, we're making it easier for everyone to own a private jet!

It's a swing state, the party here is active and has a swishy website and frequently updated Twitter/Facebook, and yet the only upcoming thing on their calendar for the whole state is 'Dec. 6th: ERIE COUNTY DEMS HOLIDAY PARTY @Pineapple Eddie's Southern Bistro' and the links for local chapters in Philly direct me to this goddamn mess of a site where the last event is from mid-October (and was a $150 per head RSVP cocktail party, so I get the idea this isn't exactly the place for the grassroots to meet).

White turnout was down from 2012 across the board, including white voters. Clinton got a smaller percentage of the Latino vote than Obama. Clinton got a smaller percentage of the black vote than Obama. In fact, the swing of white voters from Democrat to Republican was significantly smaller than the swing among Black and Latino voters
