All the Centrists, Libertarians (a specific f*ck you), and Bernie supporters. You were warned this would happen. You were warned.

All you that voted anyone other than Clinton, you are complicit in this.

Granted, a whole bunch of people could play the "You were warned that Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate" card too. -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 06:53 20
- aka "She's a woman." because otherwise she wasn't. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:01 1
  - See below. I am utterly 100% confident that the USA is ready to elect a woman. Just not any woman. - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:04
- Except, she wasn't. - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 9, 06:57 6
  - Her negatives throughout the campaign were at historical levels. Whether fairly or not, she was never going to be one of the better candidates. - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:02 5
    - Which, as we've been seeing in the time since the election, were based on bullshit. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:10 2
      - She was an outlier of negative opinion for far longer than one election cycle. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:18 1
        
        See this chart. She was running 40%+ negatives as far back as Fall of 2013. -- (link) - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:20 [Image]
    - Her negatives were the historic ones, right...did you see who the other candidate was? -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 9, 07:06 1
      - Ignore the other candidate for just one moment. In January 2015, well before he entered the race, she was still a poor Democratic candidate choice. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:06
- yes, they're the same, it's all equal, blah blah blah fuck off -- nm - ty97 May 9, 06:53 10
  - Fuck you ty if you can't be civil. I've kept my head down for awhile here to give you guys some space to wallow, but if you can't... -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:00 9
    - Using the word "wallow" says a lot, dude. -- nm - David's iPad May 9, 07:03 8
      - It's how it is coming off David. [Edit: Would have "grieve" been less egregious? Realizing I may not have used the right word to convey the point. ] -- nm* - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:04 7
        
        Some people who actually believe in American ideals getting upset when a guy who couldn't name them spends his first months in pissing on them... - Will Hunting May 9, 07:10 3
        
        Guys, I never wrote one pro-Trump word in this thread. Here's what I was replying to: - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:17 2
        
        You're the one who used the term wallow about those complaining. - Will Hunting May 9, 07:27 1
        
        And that's fair. See my edit. I withdraw the use of wallow in favour of grieve. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:30
        
        i think the problem is that Trump is doing many things that people here find appalling. And knowing that basically no other candidate (either party) - Andie May 9, 07:09 1
        
        I wasn't comparing them. People are projecting that. I saw this as reply to a complaint about Bernie Bros and such. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 07:13
        
        Grieve would have been fine. -- nm - David's iPad May 9, 07:08
They were warned. They were given an explanation. Nevertheless.... -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 9, 06:35 7
- This is a great place for "you can't fix stupid." But I want them to join the fold, so we've got to find a way to reach them. -- nm - MDH May 9, 06:37 6
  - Saying they are complicit won't work though. It may be true, but people don't want to hear it. -- nm - Roger More May 9, 06:38 5
    - *shrug* But "fuck my feelings" right? - Mel Profit May 9, 06:47 1
      - Sure, but do it in a way that doesn't alienate people who can be won over to your side. -- nm - Roger More May 9, 06:57
    - Oh I know. It's obviously not saying you can say to them (just here!). Got to figure out how to change versus beating them down - MDH May 9, 06:39 2
      - The problem with their attitude "about liberals" as they always say their being talked down to. - Mel Profit May 9, 06:56
      - I think it applies here too. -- nm - Roger More May 9, 06:44
