If people knew what was good for them, they would have supported him. Instead, racism, bigotry and intolerance was a priority for the majority of Americans. Good job fucking yourselves over last election. I hope Trump keeps this shit up till you guys reach the boiling point....
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good folks in America, but arguably, not enough yet.
Well, our "left" party instead decided to call Bernie Sanders racist during the primaries and do everything they could, twice, to keep him from winning their primary. So, it's not just racist voting for Trump that does this. The entire political establishment is absolutely terrified of an actual leftist running on the Democratic ticket for president.
Because once every 4 years when Americans actually pay attention to politics for a month or two, they would overwhelmingly vote for a leftist pushing progressive working class policies. No matter how "racist" they are. Racist in this country also have had someone they know experience crippling medical debt.
The 30% of this country that votes for racism and bigotry is the only group of people that actually see their policy positions get passed. The rest of us got garbage healthcare reform, more wars, more police state and surveillance, oh, and a genocide from the "not racist" party.
The racist bigots are the only ones with a lot of motivation to go to the polls. At least they get something for taking time off work to go vote.
I hope you stub your toe on the way to the bathroom tonight and the bruise serves to remind you to look for commonalities with people fighting the same fight as you instead of shitting on everyone with a slightly different point of view.
Liberals trying not to cheer for fascist to kill anyone to their left. It's an impossible challenge it seems.
It's like you all are incapable of not straw manning.
How convenient it must be to just be able to instantly disregard any criticism, because anyone who dares is a "dirty liberal who wants everyone to the left of them to be killed."
Right dude, just keep making up positions to argue against that literally nobody here has.

You: "No one actually says that leftists need to die."
When did I say that? Yikes, talk about putting words in my mouth.
Directly quoting you is not putting words in your mouth.
Lol directly quoting who exactly?
Fuck off, I didn't fucking say that. Read the usernames again asshole.
I mean ~~you~~ they literally said ~~you~~ they hope I get raided by ICE. Repeating what ~~you~~ they said is not a "Strawman". ~~You~~ They cheered for fascist to come kill me because ~~you~~ they disagreed with my initial comment.
Yeah I didn't say that but ok.
Yes. Your reply read like you were responding as the original commenter. Which was my misunderstanding originally.
It's why I added the strike through to the comment after realizing. Long long before you replied.
Don't worry, they can't even read their own comments.
It feels like someone jumping between different accounts and getting confused or something. Really odd replies to my initial comment.
You should start reading usernames.
Sure. Definitely thought it was the original person. But the response is written like it is and definitely in defense of the original.
Poor excuses
Thanks for all the help.

Fuck Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Fuck the DNC. They literally worked against the will of the people to install an establishment candidate and told the world they did it. This is not democracy. This is the event that radicalized me.
You're confusing the DNC with the primary voters, who gave Clinton a landslide victory over Sanders. You can't get any closer to the will of the people than that.
Yeah, but thats a shallow fact. It ignores the very real truths of the dnc not staying neutral in 2016. It ignores the concept of superdelegate that existed back then. Sure the promary voters ultimately decided, but pretending like the dnc didnt put the thumb on the scale with its media aparatus is to be disingenuous.
Superdelegates existed in 2008 as well. They were mostly in Clinton's camp, but when Obama got ahead in the primary voting, not even anywhere close to as big a margin as Clinton had over Sanders, they switched. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/feb/23/uselections2008.barackobama
When she ultimately lost the primary, she threw her support behind Obama in the general election. https://www.c-span.org/program/american-history-tv/senator-hillary-clinton-2008-convention-speech/194032
Don't forget the Democratic National Convention ratfucking Bernie twice. Establishment Democrats can't let progressives get into power because it threatens their own, since Dems and Cons share a lot of the same donors (AIPAC, etc.).
