Are you actually trying to argue that Trump is not pro-fracking? That he'll raise the minimum wage? That his "bomb the hell out of ISIS" "target the families of terrorists" and "torture is acceptable even if it isn't effective" rhetoric is going to lead to less global conflict?

What? She lost, he won, so you can stop that "well they're both bad!" argument. It's irrelevant now. I said my concern is how it's going to affect my daughter. I am kind of having a little bit of clarity making these comments and reading the letter than OP posted, so for that I do thank you. This is a chance for me to...

This isn't okay either. People do stupid shit when they are scared. To a certain extent, I think that pushing intentionally divisive talking points to get attention drew this sort of fire to the Trump campaign.

It's blowing my mind that I'm saying I'm upset for my daughter that our president is sexist and people are arguing, saying shit like "Hillary would have been just as bad." Like, what? Guess people not being able to wrap their head around that is a reflection is how he made it in office.

It's pretty easy to say the sky isn't falling when you're not targeted by Trump's rhetoric. I'm sure it feels more real if you're the one who's being forced to keep an unwanted child, being called a rapist and murderer, being told you're not wanted in this country and banned from entering because of your religion or a ...

Economically, yes. Ideologically, in other metrics, no. Sanders perceived honesty, and desire to champion their causes (organized labor, anti-global-trade, etc.) really spoke to them. Sanders' outreach into farming communities and the working class, both staunch Republican demographics, were extremely successful. I ...

The KKK is literally out on a bridge in NC celebrating this morning waving flags around with their hoods on. Yeah it'll be okay though right? Because that's what who represented through his whole campaign.

No, I am advancing an argument as to why HRC failed to make inroads with crucial demographics, which were mostly lower class, where Donald Trump did. Her entire campaign was run ignoring the, rather loud, complaints of labor, lower-class, active duty military and veterans.

It's not irrelevant. The crazed hysterics that people have launched into since Trump was elected is more embarrassing than the idiots saying they'd move to Europe when we elected "that Muslim negro Barack *Hussain*"

Yeah, too bad we couldn't get a leader currently under FBI investigations. That doesn't know an email from a toe nail.

You're right he won. And past actions as indicators for judging his future actions are now irrelevant. The country has decided that he gets the next go at it, so now we judge him on things that he actually does. Finding excuses to be angry about him now accomplishes nothing but heart burn.

Thanks for the well put-together response, I appreciate you explaining that point of view.

The problem with that line of attack is that everyone said was defined as racist/sexist. If you call everything that, it starts to be less effective. When you see for 8 years guys like Romney and McCain who seemed like at least decent guys being smeared as dangerous and misogynist, and his statement about "binders of w...

While I'm also concerned about that small minority of voters that exhibits racist tendencies, you have to realize that since Obama won two terms, some of his voters switched to Trump.

Being concerned about refugees from a part of the world known for extremism without clear vetting procedures doesn't automatically make you xenophobic.

You can't make them quit. You have to convince them to quit. But you likely can't do that for many people. You have to get them to take a step towards you so that their children can take two steps towards you.

More? How is it more embarrassing when Trump literally said the things people don't like? Edit: and it is irrelevant. He won. Down the road when he manages to remove a vital federal program or ruins a world market, are you going to say "welp Hillary would have been just as bad".

Yes... Not being a misogynist is so much more embarrassing than being a racist.

1,651
daddit
Yea... state law does not trump federal law - you've got that part backwards. No matter how progressive your state is if federal law is different on the same issue, federal law wins out. It's called the supremacy clause, & its in the constitution.
1,652
daddit
That's great you live in a progressive state but my point is that not everyone does. You might be ok not caring how other people are affected but I do. Like I said, it's easy to not care how racism and sexism affects other people but that doesn't make the problem go away.

Thank you for being civil! Trade was the biggest economic view that Sanders would have represented them on. The TPP was a bum-deal for a lot of engineers, tech-workers and skilled laborers.

They were sexist. We just went from bad to worse.
1,656

exactly.. that was Clinton's media spinning it. If you look it up, Trump said that importing the refugees should be suspended UNTIL the government improves the vetting process. But then again, not all people like to do their own fact checking and read articles on the full political spectrum.

And by holding that kind of position, regular people will just tune you out. If John McCain is a sexist, then the term is meaningless, and most people will just roll their eyes, because you've defined down the term to be inclusive of everyone and therefore shouldn't be taken seriously.
1,664
daddit
Given the speed at which refugees were being settled here, there was legitimate concern that the vetting process was not very rigorous. These are legitimate concerns. Also, the refugee question is a non-sequitir for the LGBT question. As far as I know Trump is not against same sex marriage.
