***Official Political Discussion Thread***

It's no assumption. That's what happened. Anyone who was surprised that Trump won was just as instrumental in getting him elected as the people that voted for him. It was liberal smugness and willful ignorance to the tone of the country.

 

[rico x hood]

Amazing. Even still with all that's happened since election day. You all still can't see it.

Obama didn't fail me; not paying $600 out of pocket for a 2 minute ambulance ride worked out great for me.

Btw "completely different" doesn't necessarily mean "good option" or "not racist not a moron". He ran a campaign geared towards the stupid racist class and they responded. The "coastal elite" aka people with college degrees and some money in the bank need to take our country back.

Hillary was the standard bearer for the establishment. She was literally the archetype for the "politics as usual" candidate. The type of candidate that everyone hates. Trump on the other hand was completely different. And that's why he won. Plain and simple.

People in here tried to explain it to you all but you never listened. You were all so convinced that you had your fingers on the pulse of this country. Colombia is the only one of you liberals that vaguely saw what was happening and he's not even American. You have no right to blame anyone but yourselves. Sitting atop your political high horses. It was truly disgusting. And now you're all suffering due to your incredible smugness and inability to read the national narrative.

Nah bruh, what's disgusting is that Americans are not discerning. They think that they are great because they say they are.

We saw Trump for what he was: a lying demagogue who would say anything to get the votes. He lied about everything he said he stood for because he doesn't stand for anything other than his pockets. He never had a plan for anything because having a plan involves thinking about the consequences of your actions. He never had the intention to respect the rule of law. He will never care about the average American.

That's what we've been saying here for months. And FWIW, Hillary, despite her flaws, has the personal and professional track record that support SOME of the policies she would pursue on behalf of most Americans. Trump doesn't.

Americans will learn that there is such a thing as "lesser of two evils" at the cost of their way of life.

 

[whywesteppin]

this sounds a lot like victim blaming. not sure what the point is.

"but she was asking for it. did you see how short her dress was?"

Doesn't everything this clown and the GOP do just prove the smug liberals right?

Obama leaving office a popular president doesn't mean he didn't have his fair share of critics,or those who thought he could do things differently in his base, it's complete revisionist history on your part to just dismiss the folks who were pushing him on the left. The fact that a no name, "socialist" senator made such a dent in the primary process everyone had wrapped up before it even started is evidence that a decent number of the base was very much in tune with the anti-establishment,populist fervor the country was headed in

Then explain to me why he's doing everything he said he would do if he got elected? And like I said before if democrats ran against Obama I'd bet good money they would have won.

 

[whywesteppin]

did he drain the swamp?

did he get mexico to pay for the wall?

did he release his tax returns?

did he replace obamacare?

did he give us new information about the russian hacking?

You don't get it, do you?

We knew he would do it, and those policies will NOT benefit the US. The koolaid you drank is the belief that it would.

 

[Based Jesus]

For a few glorious seconds Rico saw the light before turning back into republican x hood

 

[whywesteppin]

did he tell us he would lie about his popularity?

did he tell us he would demonize the media?

did he tell us he would muzzle government agencies?


he is doing some of what he said he would. but he is acting EXACTLY how we said hundreds of time in this thread over the past year. we know who he is and always did. we tried to tell others but even now they're still in denial.

so let the **** hit the fan. **** 'em.

 

[everysingletime]

Son said Trump is doing EVERYTHING he said he'd do

Lmao

 

[seandon23]

Oh yeah he's doing what he promised at the expense of screwing over thousands and even millions of Americans while destroying America's role as the hegemon in the world! Yay Trump!!

[frink85]

Basically the stuff he lied about doing was bad, and the stuff he kept his word on doing is bad. It's all bad.

The swampeth overflows

If that were truly the case then there wouldn't have been a concerted effort on the left to deny Sanders the nomination.

And then after he lost you all tried to sweep it all under the rug and tried to silence the angry faction of the left that propelled Sanders into the spotlight. That same anger was there after Clinton got the nomination, you all just chose to ignore it.

 

[whywesteppin]

i feel like we're back in fall 2016 again.

if trump is working to send america back 50 years, he's sent this thread back 6 months already!

I'll take what is no, for 500 dollars

Despite the fact that he still lost to her in the primaries

Man I'm one of the folks who was and is still pissed about the DNC collusion and ******** all over Bern though . I wasn't dismissing the e-mails outright like a lot of folks,they uncovered up a lot of the very,corrosive things so many of us were saying about the DNC but were considered to be "conspiracies" before the election leaks

The DNC establishment is NOT a reflection of the Democratic base/electorate. The support for the most progressive platform in history was and is there,it's just up to the Dems to get their heads out their ***** and actually start to change some things with their candidates instead of trying to go back to the status quo that's been losing elections

A repudiation of Hillary =/= a repudiation of Obama either like you keep pushing

 

[rico x hood]

She cheated! Jesus Christ the election is over. There's no need to stick to these false narratives anymore.
