Clinton also out polled Trump.

from things i've read, magas were coordinating on every social media network we have, spreading two key points:

a: "Liberals and the Media" think all trump followers were racist shitheads (we pretty much proved this true) and
b: this belief that if you betrayed your allegiance to Trump too publicly, the machine would find a way to suppress your vote so "shh"

hence trump voters kept their loving mouths shut. it was an organized conspiracy to lie to the polls to enable the sneak attack because they knew polls were all the Democrats had.

e: I have no intention of ever voting for a DNC candidate again without a serious gutting and reform, preferably at least started by sanders

i didnt even click in but

quote:

Nothing is ever properly unbearable, not least because we always retain access to the best escape route. The Stoic philosophers of Ancient Rome, those poor souls agitated beyond compare by the antics of their hysterical, thin-skinned murderous Emperors, were known to calm themselves down by holding up their veins to the light and calling out “Freedom!” — knowing it could, if it came to that, all be over in minutes.

just ignore race. talk about class. talk about income brackets, shut up about 'poor whites' and 'poor blacks' because that is dogwhistling anyways

trump's anti-hispanic bent was a cookie on top, meant to fill out the plate of "I'll Get Your Job At The Ball Bearing Factory Back From The Chinese" with a bit of "And If I Can't Do That, You Can Have His Job For Fuckin' Sure, You Start Monday". he had more of a contingency plan for poor people than hillary who said "Uh, i guess your kids can go to college cheaper"

Yeah, but Bernie's gently caress up was ignoring the question of race as it pertained to class politics. Blacks automatically assume any ambitious social welfare program will screw them over because to date all ambitious social welfare programs have screwed them over. So when Bernie talked about class all they heard was 'white people'. Plus they had no loving clue who this old white jew from Vermont was making all these big promises, while they all new Clinton as a queen of retail politics.

Gotta have specific minority planks in your class remedy platform from the start. Bernie didn't know, and Clinton seized on that poo poo.

OK after thinking, i'm with this. One size does not fit all and a single mom of 3 in the bronx has a vastly different set of challenges than a family in Erie with a breadwinner that's on disability from the plant. i guess it's a thin line to walk between listening and patronizing/assuming

hillary should have promised millions of solar jobs in the who-gives-a-gently caress states and said it ten thousand times.

"Yeah, I wanna take your coal mine job. I wanna take it and bury it at that bottom of the mine, where nobody ever has to work it again. And I'm going to replace it with a safe job in a solar/renewable/green energy plant, where you get benefits and a full lunch break and overtime, and you can go home and enjoy your family past age 50 instead of dying of black lung so this rear end in a top hat doesn't have to pay full rates on his power bill for Trump Tower."

While this may be true it's not always true (Cheney as you mention) I think it would have shored up her support immeasurably to have him as her VP. Whether or not it was effective in terms of his political power, it would have been incredibly unifying for the Bernie people. I remind absolutely baffled as to why she didn't do this. Why didn't she do something to placate the kids who were shown, on national TV, crying at the primary for Bernie?

Why, loving why?

because it was her loving turn.

one thing on my mind - is there like a correction factor in polling for This Person Might Be loving Lying On Purpose?

Might it be going forward? or is that just rolled into margin of error

lots of 'the polls were bad the polls were bad' and i'm just wondering how. how did they gently caress up numbers that badly without there being -- and i suspect this was the case -- an organized polling deception effort? any insight onto that would be a+

This has been said already and it was poorly received but holy gently caress it is time to give the hell up on gun control. Pro-2A single issue voters, unlike the hardcore pro-lifers, are otherwise pretty loving diverse. Stop treating them like criminals/crazies/loving incomprehensible space aliens from another dimension. While the climate of fear in the aftermath of the election of Donald loving Trump might be a little hyperbolic, it should at least demonstrate that it's not completely insane that normal, reasonable people might be concerned about someday needing to fear for their safety and their civil liberties and wanting to be prepared for that eventuality.

Gun ownership, shooting sports, and hunting are also a huge part of rural and working-class identity in a lot of places. Previous attempts to try to appeal to the demographic weren't taken seriously because moneyed coastal elites playing dress-up and awkward pictures of Obama skeet-shooting with a $2,200 shotgun aren't actually relatable.

Making the 2nd amendment a partisan issue was and continues to be a terrible idea. Get your politicians familiar with guns, gun laws, get them to stop saying retarded poo poo about shoulder things that go up and military style weapons of war and what the gently caress ever, and move the gently caress on with trying to address the root causes of crime and undiagnosed mental health problems without treating gun owners like a bunch of crazy racist hicks. Go make friends with the Pink Pistols holy loving poo poo.

context: bout 100 person chatroom that yospos hangs out in, so lots of tech pros, some working class, allllllll democrat. in the past 72 hours we have gone from our past forever's status quo of "melt em downnnnnnnnn guns are only tools of murder" to having a brand new channel where like eight of us are discussing going to ranges to rent different guns to try, doing research, purchasing weapons and getting familiar with them. Some of us are strictly thinking personal protection/CCW due to minority status. some of us just quite frankly have always been fine with guns and have ached to go blow some cans away for like 8 years, but have had to toe the 'melt em down' party line lest people start calling us potential mass shooters.

The immediate fragging of past-30-years D/R politics this week has blown so many doors and paradigms to smithereens.

Yeah. Perfect world, no guns. This world, this year, I'd rather both sides be on equal footing.

Gonna be real, I think this feigning moral superiority poo poo is just as bad. It kills productive discussion by turning poo poo into instant tears:

This current need to speak very genially and casually about the current political situation to about oh, 70-80% of D voters lest they fly into a JUST NUKE THE SOUTH tirade reminds me of the exact way one needed to kid-glove white conservatives for the past 8 years so they would just avoid bringing up what they'd like to do to Obama

So many intelligent adults that i know are doing this hardline I will not listen to A Racist, and furthermore, thing and it's really frustrating because that is what gave trump the win

OK trap sprung or whatever but how does your baby dying make you "pro life" (anti-abortion)?

infant and child mortality is sky loving high in flyovers and a lot of southerners/poor whites have had a baby die or a close family member that had a baby die, and they do not understand how somebody could willingly do that
