what part of hilary is a horrible candidate are people not getting!??
and to suggest all trump voters are racist speaks to the inability of some people to come to terms with facts ... a lot of blue counties that voted for a black president for 2 terms turned red because they all of sudden became racist!??
hilary would be an excellent president for those that are ok with the continued corporatization of american gov't where money and influence dictate policy domestic and foreign ... outside of that her only redeeming quality in this election was that she wasn't trump and for her to only beat him by 400,000 votes should re-affirm that ...
It's all about turnout. Those blue counties were always full of racists, they didn't suddenly change.
Also, I know that not ALL Trump voters are racist, just most of them. Aren't you Canadian? Normally I wouldn't mention it, but when it comes to understanding white bread America, you have to have experienced it to understand it. I posted a while back about the subtle and not so subtle racism of the midwest and a poster that never agrees with me backed me up, racism is truly ubiquitous in middle America.
Even city folk in the US don't quite get how deep and wide it is.
ya ... i'm Canadian but I've also traveled a lot in the US ... I've been to over 45 states ... I also had an american girlfriend for 4 years ... in traveling the US ... i've been to a lot of small towns because i'm an outdoors enthusiast ... i'm not just in the big cities ... i've spent a lot of time in rural america ... and it doesn't remotely shock me that they would vote for a black president and not clinton ... now, don't get me wrong - i have always contended that racism is alive and strong in the US ... ask anyone who's been on the board for as long as I have ...
but obama winning 2 terms and an approval rating of 55%+ now and the fact that hilary is white pretty much says racism didn't decide this election ...
look at the details ... about 4 million people who voted for obama did not vote for her with many of them not voting ... sanders popularity in the rust belt ... this election was decided by the disenfranchised ... those that rightfully believe the game is rigged ... trump campaigned on it ... sanders did as well ... but hilary couldn't because she is firmly entrenched in that establishment ... this election was determined by those seeking change on the conservative side coming out while the progressives and youth stayed at home because of the inherent faults of both candidates ...
hilary ran on a campaign of status quo and her not being trump ... that didn't inspire the progressive disenfranchised and youth to come out ... nor should it ... you could see it play out on this board ... most hilary supporters would have voted for sanders if he was the nominee but many sanders voters didn't vote for hilary ...
Its tough, but there is a price to pay for everything in life, and that's the price we pay for good cheap farm land, no violence, and peace and quiet.
A hostile community is not worth it, imo.
They aren't hostile, just backwards. Besides, we are white lol
I'd love to live in a progressive area, but we wouldn't be able to meet the sustainability goals that we have in a progressive area, the cost of living is too high.

When you have a child w/ a developmental disabilty, like me, living in an ignorant community is unacceptable. We may be Caucasian, but still a minority, and redneck areas are ignorant of everyone who falls into a minority label.

Yeah, that would make it more difficult, but I actually feel that people around here are pretty tolerant of disabilities, perhaps surprisingly.
I want to be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I want to be the minority
I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog There of which I stand alone A face in the crowd Unsung, against the mold Without a doubt Singled out The only way I know
'Cause I want to be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I want to be the minority
Stepped out of the line Like a sheep runs from the herd Marching out of time To my own beat now The only way I know One light, one mind Flashing in the dark Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me A free for all Fuck 'em all You're on your own side
'Cause I want to be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I want to be the minority

All my fellow white deplarables would of voted Bernie no doubt. I'm one of the few white male deplarables I know that voted Clinton. One thing white deplorables and liberals have in common is their love of weed. A pro marijuana candidate i feel could help bring votes back to the left.

Schools here aren't exactly proactive in doing what's best. Segregation at a certain point is widespread. But that is a whole mother can of worms.
isn't it technically legal for Obama to run again in 2020?
Uhhhhhhh, what? You post all of those threads about the constitution, impeachment as Trump being a moron (which he is) and you seriously ask this?
Don't you think that if this were possible, someone would have tried it by now?
sorry, perhaps it isn't. i vaguely remember having a discussion about it in high school american history. that was a long time ago. perhaps just wishful thinking. he would never do it anyway. sounds like he plans on being a mentor to up and coming Democrats. good guy.
You are nowhere near President Obama. He's saying he could have won had he run again. You on the other hand wasn't sure if a president could run for a third term.

WaPo only ran 87 negative Bernie articles during the primary, 12 in one day.

Bernie's empire strikes back
