***Official Political Discussion Thread***

...and in the meantime the Republican Party/White Supremacists are driving home wins right down the middle of the lanes as individuals such as yourself and others vote for losers who don't stand a chance of all at winning. It's all about winning....and the Republicans seem to stick to the message by any means necessary and exploit weaknesses from the other side. Particularly with this thought process above.

I honestly could care less how you feel or anyone else for that matter. I'm not a huge believer in the good vs evil rhetoric you guys like to play. In the real world very few of these individuals have my people in their best interest and actually want to make a change in those communities. Trump did what he had to do to cater to middle America scum but I GUARANTEE you he will do NOTHING to propel those poor uneducated racist vermin in any way or fashion outside of spewing them absolute bullcrap to obtain their votes. It's the same shtick the Democrats have been doing with the black community for decades. People really want to sit here and act like Hilary was such a better candidate meanwhile all she did was show extreme over confidence while only catering to her big corporate doners alienating her core base. The black pandering also made me sick to my stomach and made it extremely hard for me as a black man to vote for her. At one point I was very liable to make the same mistake the majority of my family members have done and the ones that came before me but instead I looked in the mirror and asked myself WHAT DO I WANT what would make ME FEEL GOOD while being a first time voter and NEITHER of them fit that description.

I will say when I came in this ***** everbody was looking either clinically depressed or like they're trying not to give any emotions away.

**** is almost an uncomfortable silence right now. Like everybody's afraid to expose themselves

Personally im not sad or mad or anything like that.

Im anxious to see what he does. REALLY ANXIOUS.

Im jealous ninja has the gta cheatcode for all weapons unlimited amo and i got a stick

Just facts.

I went to bed and woke up and looked at my phone...at first i was kinda shocked but then u think about it u start to understand how that happened.

I can't believe it, if you think this dude is not gonna do what the **** he wants, you are wrong.....brace yourselves, this man became president on his own terms, saying whatever the **** he wanted, offending whoever he wanted, lying about whatever he wanted, with or without the support of his own party, let that sink in, bigotry won, this isn't a democracy....this county is going to ****

Can someone realistically explain what Trump will do that's so scary?

Like what is it that got yall so shook of dude?

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Finally starting to think outside the box?   How much did all the non-Drumpf/Clinton votes have combined? Like 5% of the vote?? In other words just enough to be laughably low, especially considering that these were the two candidates with lowest approval percentage E-V-E-R, yet still enough to alter the outcome of the election in favor of the worse of the two candidates. The worst possible amount.

Think outside the box my ***. All those idiots who in the handed the election to The Bigot will be forced to look back to see how "outside the box" they really were:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ralph-nader-voters_us_57f55aa4e4b0b7aafe0ba7f1

They'll look back, all right. Mainly the 3% of the Florida and Pennsylvania voters who voted third party and ruined their country's future in the process.

Any improvement is an improvement. We just had the most votes ever for a 3rd party which is something to feel very good about going forward. 2020 election will encompass a whole new type of candidate who is transparent, personable, and possesses the leadership qualities that it takes to successfully lead this country. Death to the archaic and non progressive ways of the years past it's time we all get together and break the mold.

Same here. It is an awkward silence in here today. And its my birthday.

^This.

Dudes in here acting like the Democrats just won 90% of the Senate to constantly veto him.

This guy basically has the keys to the country now. And as a bonus for him, he gets to pick a new supreme court judge.

2 years of MSM fear-mongering.

 

[QU!K]

You all live in a dumpster fire of a country. Congrats.

 

[jjs07]

I really don't want to hear **** from those that didn't vote. A lot of those Bern's and 3rd partiers were the first ones freaking out.

Man, I'm right there with you.

Didn't YOU vote for Jill Stein champ?

No, champ.

It's not so much voting for her, but voting against him.

That's where I stand.

 

[dragicon]

Forget all this foreshadowing ********, let's get real...

Melania Trump is the hottest First Lady ever or are we still coining Michelle?

Who gives a **** about this?

Thanks for the in-depth response as well as no personal attack as well. Just good honest back and forth discussion. As a black man just like YOU....at the end of the day this election re-kindles the flames of racism and empowers racists from the Trump camp/Republican Party that wish to do OUR people harm.

That's what it's all about for me at the end of the day. Racism has and most likely will always exist, but today and for the next 4 years racism has the wind at it sails it appears. That is what I'm thinking about, thinking of people I know that look like me and even people I don't know that look like me. How will our people be looked at and more importantly TREATED by some of these Trump supporters for the next few years.

Transparent bigotry and ignorance is the angle that got him in office akin to the Democrats acting like they give two damns about the people in the inner cities. What do you think he's gonna do when he gets in office ? Kill all latinos and blacks ? Make it "harder" for us ? I suppose Hilary was supposed to make it "better" right ? Give me a break

Let's not forget he had a foreign country involved in the election and said he will imprison his political opponents.

A certain sadness on the streets this morning everyone looks down

I feel the same. Sucks that he won but I'm not understanding why people are so spooked.

this logic... i can not **** with 

 

[gentrification]

Does Trump give AF more?

.

Hell nah.But racism is a live and well with liberals too. Its just different. It might be worse. IMO. You gotta live your life to the fullest. **** who is in office. Politicians don't give a **** about us. All the accomplishments and joys you've had, had nothing to do with who was president.

That's where I stand.

Thanks for clarifying. I think I did hear you say that both candidates were equally just as bad a few weeks ago and even a half-joking comment that you were going to write-in "Gucci-Mane" on your ballot slip, SMH. Either way since you didn't vote for a 3rd party candidate thank you for doing so.

Going back to your previous statement...I feel you on family members and friends that you know that are immigrants and worrying about things that might happen to them. That's why I'm so passionate about this current topic. I truly hope all works out for them and your family in particular champ.

We can't play games with these white supremacists out here because clearly they are not playing games with us.

Are you forgetting the boat load of Republicans who denounced this man publically throughout the campaign?

He's not bout to do whatever he wants, and anyone who thinks so is an idiot.

 

[jjs07]

In talking about Hillary's campaign, there was not one person for the Democratic party outside of the polls yesterday where I voted. A lot of folks for the Red, but nothing else...I wonder if you guys saw the same?

That's an extremely valid concern and point. My thought process is while I'm still living the same struggle everyday as you are I'm not opposed to **** hitting the fan so we all can become one. Our country is already in the toilet with a capable commander in chief all we have to do is go outside, watch the news, view social media, etc. to see how they really view us. I'm really at a point where I feel this **** has to burn before we finally force change and equality in our country and these ignorant racist middle America types have to feel it as well (they will) .. Millions of people in our country are jumping for joy as is if Donald is some racist Superman who's gonna make poor racist whites rich when that's not gonna happen. Maybe 4 years of them seeing **** for what it is and them getting "their country back" we can move forward as a nation TOGETHER. We have the tools and the infrastructure to ignite a civil rights movement larger than before we just have to do it.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

It isn't Trump I'm worried about. It's the millions who are willing to look past all of Trump's discrepancies.

This says more about the people I share this country with than anything else.

There will be more to come of this than policy. The climate of the country socially is changing drastically, and not in the direction I'd like to see.
