Democracy is dead because America would rather elect a male that jerks off a microphone than a woman.
Already heard “unlikable” again last night. Right. Fool us once.
It’s this. America cannot fathom that a well qualified Black woman could be better than the most basic of white men.
Could you imagine if SHE had sucked off a mic? People already didn’t vote for her because they thought she slept her way to get where she is.
The party should have recognized this insurmountable weakness, if it even was one, and did what it needed to to win. Whatever you suss out is the lesson from this election is, I just think it’s pitiful they can’t beat the orange turd that just won’t flush.
It is easy to blame american to not wanting to vote for a women instead of blaming a campaign that ignored key state last time “hillary and Michigan” and a campaign “ignored a key voting issue” for many people.
Don’t be fooled. Trump won because over 70 million Americans would rather have him than a woman.
I’m hearing trump didn’t add any supporters. This whole thing was a failure in turnout. I won’t say America isn’t deeply sexist because I’m not stupid. I will say that voting just to have a women be president, no, that was not enough and it wasn’t enough in 2016 either.
“Parties? Were we’re going, we don’t need parties.”
I fully believe there will never again be another legitimate election in the US. Except, I want to be devil advocate and say Trump can’t pull it off. I know that’s not true so I have to kinda decide if I want to larp it.
Trump can pull it off, but Trump can also shit himself and fail. Either possibility is there. Either way, though, we’re looking at four years of right-wing policy and, like last time, in case any of the dumb fucks who think “Swing to the right = Later swing to the left”, a resurgence in conservative views that four years of non-fascists isn’t enough to completely reverse.
We likely lose another supreme court justice seat if not more. Also all the old fuck justices destroying our country will step out and be replaced with truely diabolical assholes because Rs play for keeps. Sorry, the only way to save the court after today is massive reform, good luck.
I swear the liberals sitting this one out will regret nothing more in their very turbulent future.
The fact that Trump was chosen for a president, might be a nice clue that Americans live in a idiocracy now.
I live in a deep red state where my vote effectively does not count. Yesterday morning, I woke to an absurd amount of hip/back pain and could barely stand up. Yet I still drug my ass to the polls and stood in line for my turn to vote.
Whatever happens, I blame the fickle morons who stayed home. The parties, platforms, politics, etc. are what they are, if you can’t be bothered to at least vote for the lesser of two evils, then you deserve everything you get.
No, I will not reside myself to think democrats did everything they could have. The only thing the democrats have done in my lifetime is lead people straight into shark infested waters. I’m not saying I won’t ever vote for them again but I don’t see them ever winning anything of substance if they can’t beat trump.
