Fighting each other over politics is really dumb and bad. Also there's been a million lovely threads about that crap already.

THeres no outcome where Hillary beats Donald Trump, because she is bad. the successful outcome where donald trump loses is the one where hillary wasn't his opponent.

whoflungpoop posted:Also my analogy was perfect bc Obama continually emphasized from the beginning "ok this part was fun but it was the easy part, everyone has to stay politically active and keep at it" and the left said "sure dad " and spent 8 years doing nothing but growing resentful between labored trips to the mailbox to check if their better life came in yet So motherfucking true. From day 1 of Obama's first term the Republicans have literally taken the opposite stance on every single position he's taken on every issue. Their entire mission was to make him fail, even if he had a reasonable idea. They even fought tooth and nail against some of their own ideas that he supported. The left so totally loving failed him.

Part of it was naive and incredibly destructive poo poo he did because he didn't actually understand politics, like get rid of riders on bills. His being black was an issue for him, another issue however is that he didn't understand that politics is backroom wheeling and dealing.

hot take: its good that bernie didnt win and risk getting constantly sniped in his sweet old balls by corporate democrats and republicans who neuter his progress and social progressivism in general too bad democrats aren't in more dire straits though, they'll limp along for a few more cycles while the leeches get fatter and their base dries up

How the hell did Obama win by such a big margin in 2012? Was it just plain competency at getting out the vote? I feel like he should have faced the same struggles Hillary did, considering the economic reality at the time and disillusionment with him from the far left, but he didn't have any trouble at all.

"romney's turn" tho it was not the time to run a hyper rich man whose wife owns multi million dollar hoarses and who says that big bird should die and that the american worker is lazy and should work more hours there is absolutely no platform that will fail better and harder than "the average american should work more"

Even Romney had some weirdly relatable moments, such as the time he ironed his shirt while wearing it as his wife looked on in horror.

Mitt also had the Hillary problem of he was obviously a robot/lizardman pretending to be an American. The book directly likens Hillary's "deplorables" comment to his "47%" comment, which is pretty fair in terms of what it reveals about their crushing inability to realize that being honest about their respective loathing of poors is electorally a poor idea.

skasion posted:It's the former. Trump is a dickhead but he's not Hitler and there's frankly no convincing reason to suspect there was anything irregular about his election. Hell, even if he were Hitler, Obama doesn't get to decide who his successor is. He literally did not have any authority to deny Trump the presidency and it would have been more damaging to the republic and the rule of law if he had tried to prevent Trump from assuming the office. B-b-b-but he grabbed pussy! He totally grabbed some pussies.

I still can't believe just how rabid a lot of HRC supporters. Any critiques of her record, or who she supported/supported her send them into angry tweet storms or convince to write lovely articles/segments about it. Then again, the continued haplessness of the Dem establishment/Liberal Centrists as "the resistance" and their persistent vitriol for the left make should make this less surprising. Meeting these diehards in person is even more taxing, though, since you can't just close a window or tab when they start yelling about conspiracies, Sanders, Syria, etc... The way the Lib Centrist/Dem diehards have been acting, coupled with the shittiness of the GOP and Trump, is really doing a number on my optimism.
