Yep. I'm done now. Hate derails over bs. And conspiracy theory ones are the worst.
people like me who voted for Bernie in the primary and Hilary in the general? damn I guess it is my fault dude
the sheer force of will you're exerting to stop yourself from thinking critically about this is astounding.
Ironically, I think the only way to solve this is for more socially liberal, fiscally conservative individuals to run for office as Republicans in red states. Not sure how else this can be achieved.
Calling out people on their shit does active harm, as well. If people are made to feel bad, they're not going to be motivated to work for you and vote.
We can make certain changes in our everyday lives by being mindful of our purchases and of our carbon footprints. We can support journalism by subscribing. Some of us can contribute to the field of research by pursuing graduate and PhDs in the sciences and liberal arts. Some can become teachers, social workers, and community volunteers. Voting alone could also be pointless if we dont take our own actions to pursue change.
So you think that poster in particular is here to hurt the Democratic party?
Their rhetoric makes me think they're not a fan of Hillary, not necessarily that they are against the Democratic party.
I did miss his initial post on the second page. Nevermind then, carry on.
Yup. It is totally the fault of people who agree with you 90% of the time. Because god forbid anyone have a different opinion than you even on rare occasions. Stupid neolibs!
Why do this? Had it been Sanders, Obama, Biden, Harris, or countless others would this be the response? Or is it cause, Clinton, yah nm...
Yep, she blared that shit like a fog horn. People didn't give a damn, least not enough to actually get out there and vote. Clinton is far from perfect, but she ain't wrong here.
Are you done living a life with blinders on where only you and those who hold identical views as you are considered moral human beings?
Ah the strawman.
As I said earlier, the only way to fix the situation is to get more progressive Republicans to run for office. As it stands, the Tea Party has hijacked the party, and has been going further and further to the right for several election cycles now.
You know, we're going to have to deal with the people who voted for Trump sooner or later.
No offense, but you aren't getting that voter back. No one that pulled the trigger for Trump is gonna vote for a Democrat in the near future.
The people that align with Democrats don't have the same type of tribalism that the far right can rely on, so most Democratic presidents will end up being moderate because of the wide spectrum of interests they need to appeal to.
The right would say that the founders didn't want tyranny of the majority, and that the electoral college is necessary so that the concerns of less inhabited states can be heard
She's preaching to the choir here, we know this. We didn't vote for Trump or say that she wouldn't be better. Most anyone would be better though. That doesn't absolve her from criticism, especially when she talks about democracy, and I say that as a real staunch supporter of hers back in 16. Money in politics isn't some little thing to be waved away, it strikes at exactly what she's talking about, just from a different angle. American corporatocracy is a real thing.
It's still a problem that needs to be addressed. This isnt just about voting. Pushing Clinton into a marginal win wouldnt have stopped the problems we're currently facing. Trump was just a wake up call.
lol.
