i feel like the movie Dumb and Dumber is a great analogy to the Democrat's 2016 campaign because in their desperate quest for victory Hillary blows millions to no effect while being stupid and Bernie shits himself to death as a result of getting hosed over by the other one, they are both fighting for the same thing and they both fail

America is the kid in the wheelchair with the parrot, checks out.

Bernie's capitulation to the BLM protesters really helped him win the black vote and secure the primaries.

I remember being crushed when W. Bush won re-election (first Presidential election I could vote) because his first term had been a disaster and everybody knew it was only going to get worse in the second but still re-elected him. Didn't have thoughts about self-harm even as the bodies continued to pile up and the economy crashed, though. When you see things falling apart it's time to start working on solutions, not turning to despair.

It's easy to forget that young people entering adulthood have a much more myopic perspective on Presidential elections. Someone who spent their childhood hearing negative things about W Bush as background noise and spent the last half of their life satisfied with Obama in the WH are going to have a harder time when, for the first time ever, their preferred candidate loses. Others who have watched 5+ Presidents finish their terms without the world ending will have a broader perspective.

Particularly hard on them when it's a gross prick like Trump, and, y'know, people will actually die as a direct result of his policies. If the worst a President could do is say stupid poo poo, only a few people would care.

Most of them will get better. Perspectives aren't reality, and a lot of young people have the perspective that the good guy in the WH got replaced by the bad guy and it's the first time they've had to live without the mental safety net of having "their guy" in control.

Some of them will never get better.

Yeah but that's general in thought that it will vastly improve the remaining half's lives, you just want to gently caress everyone into a lovely corporatist dystopia, to improve only the lives of Trump and his inner circle.

I'd be pissed as gently caress if I killed myself because of trump cause he's already the worst president in american history and I don't actually want this poo poo to end. Give him 20 years of honking truck horns while nothing he tries to legislate passes

That's what Hillary plan was. That's the globalist agenda. You can see it in how companies like Uber operate. They're creating a thin crust of international elite that throw pennies to the peons!

Don't you know that the economy will only be great again once we get rid of minimum wage and bring back Chinese slave factories to the united states? The country will be saved by 0.14$ a week jobs #MAGA

Because the financial "success" we were having under Obama was a slow sell-out to global corporations that was bleeding us dry, while inflating our dollar by just printing money like crazy

I don't necesarily disagree but it's the exact same poo poo republicans were doing, and the exact same poo poo trump was already a part of? Aside from some small token efforts he isn't going to be changing the status quo on global trade

Everything else he's brought to the table is awful for the US economically so it's not even a wash, it's just plain terrible, short and long run

Rahm Emanuel is a democrat and served in Obama's cabinet, and is the mayor of Chicago. His brother has millions invested in Uber.

Guess who keeps making sure Uber can operate in Chicago regardless of how many people object?
