its admirable that the Clintons furthered human rights in Haiti by funneling billions of dollars of intended aid money to their military contractor friends while Hilary was Secretary of State, leaving like $2 million for actual Haitian organizations, a real coup for human rights



even more respectable that Joe Biden is now furthering the human rights cause by mounting a horse and whipping Haitian refugees before shipping them back to die

Seriously, It's 4:20 AM on a work day and I can't go to sleep because I don't want to wake up to a Trump presidency. I hate your stupid country and your goddamn media and your corrupt institutions and your electorate.

If Hillary Rodham Clinton, the most over-prepared nerd who did her best to help her country and further human rights for the majority of her life can't even win against Trump literally the worst person in the country, it's a clear sign that you wont have a woman president in the next ten cycles.
White men will vote against anyone who may lessen their dominance with all their force. And in this stupid way I admit that Bernie would have been better. At least he is a man. :smith:
shameful admission: i said basically this to my mom when she told me she, a lifelong democrat voter, was going to vote for trump in 2016. it was me who was the moron idiot. had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach for the week or two before the election after she told me that but figured "oh there's no way anyone could vote for the cheeto right"

my favorite post-script from all that was when some group put on debate re-enactments between hillary and trump except with a male hillary and female trump to prove that sexism damaged perceptions of hillary / made it so a female candidate couldnt show anger, people responded even more positively to trump.

e:

yeah if you watch it the only conclusion to walk away with is "oh yeah no poo poo Trump ended up winning"

Male-Hillary is smarmy, condescending and unlikable much like the real Hillary

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark — that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.

They think Hillary was personally okay with the deaths at the Benghazi compound. They think that she was literally stashing and sharing Top Secret documents on her private e-mail server. They think her loving aides take part in Satanic rituals.

She’s from my district AND she was having an affair with some white guy who took a very strong interest in Islam as soon as she came around and he would leave his class to go talk on the phone with her for hours.

I was shocked when kids in his class told me because they were savvy enough to know it was really juicy gossip but didn’t want to tell Fox News about it.

I love her.

things are piling up now. there's a brexit-related shortage of lorry drivers which is affecting logistics in basically every area because the entire economy and society is built around Just In Time delivery so there are now shortages of fuel and supermarket goods and even stuff like trash collection is suffering. on top of this the government has made some other bad decisions like getting rid of most of the UK's gas storage capacity so power generation is also in trouble and energy prices are spiking. there's also a shortage of carbon dioxide which has had knock-on effects on the meat industry because dunking animals into rooms of CO2 was a choice method of killing them apparently. nothing apocalyptic yet but it feels like every week there's something new and there's no solution for it lol

Losing any of PA, MI or WI was just beyond the pale for them. They could see how VA or FL could swing, but not those states. Those states were referred to as the blue wall!

Before the election, I told a coworker that Trump had a legit chance, and that he could do it by flipping one of the rust belt states. He thought I was joking, but I told him I was serious, and then told him about the Michael Moore video, about Trump threatening the auto companies with tarrifs, etc. He still thought I was crazy. Turns out I was wrong. I never expected him to flip all three, lmfao.
