I don't think you'll get their votes by surrendering to Trump or trying to show how 'principled' you are in opposition. I agree that Hillary had no message for the Rust Belt, but i'm not sure why that means the left should give up.

I also think it's really dumb that the DNC fuckers write this off as pure racism or whatever.

The left shouldnt give up or just lie down and take it but there are winning strategies that can help win back seats and public discourse and there are other strategies which consist of just freaking the gently caress out as much as possible.

An opposition party is crucial in a healthy democracy. It makes sure every policy gets criticised and debated by opponents before it can pass. The opposition is the voice of the other half of the country.

Too bad the Democrats are more interested in throwing tantrums while covered in their own poo poo instead of doing their jobs. Not that this is any different when the Republicans are the opposition as they do the same thing.

Love or hate Trump but this reaction youre getting is the result of a pissed off political elite (on both sides) who didnt get their way and its pretty loving funny.

What regulations though? Part of the platform is that global warming is a partially a hoax that was designed to enrich mega-corporations by over-regulating at home

Like Ive said before Im on the fence regarding trump but this one of the main things pushing me away from his platform.

Lets say everything he says is true and global warming is a hoax (its not), taking measures to reduce damage to the environment through clean energy is a good goal regardless. Especially when this movement has led to this option being cheaper than fossil fuels.

I'm not even sure what this pro-trump left faction is?

The fight for control of the Democratic party has nothing to do with trump and I don't think either wing likes him so, i'm wondering how opposing trump is a faux-leftist idea. I'm sure our resident trump fans will go on to tell me all about it.

I think people really wanted change because everyone is being hosed by the establishment for too long now and they will vote for anyone who doesnt seem like they belong to the establishment.

This was what got Obama votes. Turns out he was pretty much more of the same. So next time around bigger extremes came out with a following e.g. Trump & Bernie. Establishment tries to shut down both, succeeds in one case and fails in the other.

Even though Trump is poo poo, some leftists support him because they have now learned that there will be no change. Kings Landing is diseased and corrupt. Only option is to vote for a maniac who will yell "BERN IT ALL!!!"

Whether you are a democrat, a republican or somewhere in between, I hope this presidency has at least highlighted the corrupt and toxic nature of American media.

You can see the extent of its use in trying to divide the American population in order to exert control.
