do we need a new Trump thread or is this going to be the politics thread for the next 4/8 years?


How about a new thread:


Trump- The Resistance is so Punk Rock

What is cultural elitism exactly?


yeah thats the problem. cultural elitism.. not the fact Trump is a racist sexist bigoted lyin' sack of shit....or that like 65 million Americans voted for a guy who makes fun of the disabled for shits and giggles..






Look, there's no defending Trump.  I totally agree and it makes me sick.  But if you don't know what i'm referring to where cultural elitism is concerned  I don't know what to say.  It's right here in this thread. 

Ive had so many of these convos in the past two days it's making me sick.  I am on your side....in the end i think we want the same things.  All i'm really commenting on is what I think was a totally misguided effort by the dems to win this election.  That is all.  I think we  deserve better.  I think we should hold our leaders up to a higher standard than we do.  I'm not talking about trump.  I'm talking about the democratic party here.  This does not make me a traitor as many have called me lateley, I just want better than what we are getting. 

That's all I'm gonna say.

yawn.. the Bernie argument.. so over it..
MY theory is that Bernie wanted and felt he was owed the VP
whoa...that's a conspiracy thread I've yet to hear
full disclosure, I felt the burn.  But I was a realist that he didn't have what it took to win.  I think that the things he says and the stands he takes...are all aligned with me. 

and honestly ....the kind of things I think the democratic party should strive for. 

It is odd how the populist message that we're all in it together totally lost to the "it's 'them' who are making us sad/poor/afraid and I'm the candidate who can take care of them"

I think both BS and HRC were just meh candidates.  Didn't hurt there was a generational hatred of HRC bread into the very fabric of the RNC for two decades.  They didn't know why, but they fuckin hated Hill.

You know who I think would have had a great chance...Elizabeth Warren
I honestly think she would have nailed it and not had the baggage that Hillary had

The Democratic nomination was definitely handed to HRC.  The field was cleared and Wasserman-Shultz, Donna Brazile and the rest of the party was clearly working for her.  I understand why, but it definitely led to the feeling that she was anointed rather than elected. This too chummy with the Democratic elite stuff ended up biting them in the ass.  The tarmac meeting with Lynch put the Justice Department in a huge bind.


I mean all those things suck when you say them in order like that
but there was not another credible candidate.
Frankly shocked how much grondswell bernie got in the middle there


So what are the stats on the bern'ers...did the not vote for Hillary
Did they vote for trump/gary/jill?
or not come out at all

a lot of blame is being put on bernie....but did the millions who were excited for him come out an vote for HRC?

I will admit the post election posting probably could have waited. 

I'm some what curious the number of Americans who woke up on the 9th and didn't vote and shit their pants
What is that #...1 million...20 million...100 million.

I live in a bubble in DC/Arlington and I know it.  But people are depressed and almost don't know how to act in public.  I've got to assume everyone here on this board voted.  But, do you know coworkers/friends/family who spent the last 6 months bitching about how insane trump was and didn't vote?  I'm probably the most angry at those people.

i'm not sure how realistic your realism is... but i know have the benefit of hindsight, so it doesn't matter.  but ol' bernie would have done much better at tapping into the white less-educated resentment vote (AKA what brought trump to power).  i want to believe that bernie would have gotten enough of them to carry a few of the traditionally blue states that trump took.

funny, at the time we all thought that bernie was too radical to get elected... now i look at it and think he was barely "radical" enough.

Just thinking about the whole mocking the disabled guy thing...I agree with Hutch's sentiments.

I'll be the first to admit, I have mocked a disabled person or two in my lifetime. We all do asshole things in our life, and that is an asshole thing I have done. I own that fact and feel shame for my actions. And i think it should probably disqualify me from being POTUS.

Why the Republican Party would not have disqualified him from contention right then and there is beyond me.

Exactly.. lets see. we get an old woman without the actual experience.. oh yah that's going to work..


Lets face it.. we will likely not have a female president in our lifetimes.. if Hillary could not do it I don't know who can... .women are always seen as weak and too sensitive to handle national security so what did Hillary do? She ratcheted up her national security bonafides in the Senate and was Secretary of State for four years.. she then lost to a sexist pig with zero experience and a whole host of other issues... People who don't recognize the sexism in the election of Trump are just not paying attention

Elizabeth Warren is also an awful speaker and I can't see her inspiring anyone... Trump would eat her alive and enjoy it...

But hey if Harambe gets the nomination I will support him 100%.. I will support ANYONE the democratic party puts up against Trump...Elizabeth Warren...great.. 76 year old jewish socialist who will be 80 at end (same as Trump would be? BTW I looked up Trump's family. .they all live to be 100... we'll also probably be stuck with Donald Jr running).. awesome...a nice guy (that is all Kaine apparently is)... go for it... anyone

You know who I like.. that Senator from Hawaii or is she a Representative? Tulsi Gabbagabba or something like that...


But I think the woman thing is going to be very hard to do again.... Hillary was tough as nails and she still got punished for being a woman...
