Van Jones should discuss lower black voter turnout in key districts that helped flip Penn and Wisconsin and Michigan before going on a blame whitey rant

He should blame blacks for the high turnout of closeted white bigots?

Huh? The KKK didn't just move from Alabama to safe blue states over the last four years.

Are you implying that white bigots were waiting for a black man to leave office before coming out as racists?

No. they had a bigoted candidate that made them feel validated and that inspired them to go out and vote. They probably still haven't told anyone they voted for Trump. There's a high level of fear with a good number of white males as we slowly lose our white privilege.

Now that more numbers are out this whole theory looks wrong. Romney had 59% of white vote while Trump had 58%. It looks like 7 million Obama voters stayed home. That is not Trump inspiring white people but Hillary losing a ton of votes. She was a shitty candidate who couldn't bring out the Obama coalition.

I'm willing to be wrong, but you can't assume those are all the same white voters. Trump got more of the white uneducated vote than Romney. That's significant.

You're right...the assumption can't be made. On the flip side I bet there are a ton of white uneducated voters who voted for Obama twice but then flipped to Trump. They had no issue with race, believed in hope and change, but felt over the 8 years that they were ignored. Hillary didn't have the personal touch of her husband to engage those voters.

I'm doubtful on a Obama flipping uneducated white guy, but the info should come out pretty soon. Painting the picture of the disenfranchised voter is easier to swallow than the alternative.

Trump received votes from all colours.
That's significant.

You're in denial.

Trump did better then Romney but I don't think anybody on the right should applaud an African American vote of 8-10%. That is still pathetically small.

I've actually heard that Romney got more votes. Just that Hillary got less than Obama. The Trump campaign to suppress the vote seemed to work, turn everyone off.

2008: Obama 69,498,516 / McCain 59,948.323
2012: Obama 65,915,795 / Romney 60,933,504
2016: Clinton 59,786,251 / Trump 59,578,826 (as of now)

Crazy consistent on the GOP side

Seeing those numbers is pretty depressing, she could have won. Or dare I say it...another democratic candidate could have won.

It begs the question....did the fucking FBI influence the election? Kinda bullshit

I'm not an anti electoral college guy....but holy shit more people voted for Clinton

I think the FBI "thing" most definitely fucked her. That was the risk all along though.

I'm referring to the bullshit last week though...Comey's letter creating the narrative for the Trump campaign to say the FBI "reopened" the investigation and then Comey's second letter saying there was nothing there. Lots of early voting was done in that time period before the second letter.

I'm sure that had an effect on voting, and Comey's job is much easier with a fascist president.

I was referring to the same thing. I even started a thread about it.

Clinton called for Democrats to accept the result, saying they should give Trump an open mind and the chance to lead.

Thanks to the Supreme Court struck down a section of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. And now another (R) appointment. Bad to worse.

Hard to do with such persistence though isn't it? The kid's trying so damn hard.

Let me get this straight...
rigged DNC primaries, meh politics as usual, free and fair presidential election (per Hilliary), protests in major cities, not my president.
Makes complete sense.

47% of eligible voters did NOT vote.
