1,601 | daddit | You teach theater. Stick to teaching theater. I hated my political teachers, both left and right. I just wanted to learn math. |
1,602 | daddit | [which candidate?](https://www.google.com/search?q=hillary+clinton+kkk&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=655&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjs9-DsuJ3QAhWCKiYKHXKsB9YQ_AUIBygC#imgrc=OMUxxCp4jfOviM%3A) |
1,603 | daddit | 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? |
1,604 | daddit | 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... |
1,605 | daddit | 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. |
1,606 | daddit | 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. |
1,607 | daddit | 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 ... |
1,608 | daddit | No silly Hillary Clinton was a gift from God sent to make our country perfect like all little girls everywhere. |
1,609 | daddit | 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 ... |
1,610 | daddit | I thought the Trump camp was supposed to be anti-PC. You cant just replace it with a new PC of "you can never call someone out for being sexist or racist". |
1,611 | daddit | 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. |
1,612 | daddit | Are you one of the people who thinks keeping Syrian refugees out of our country makes you better for the LGBT community than what we as a community value? Like upholding marriage equality? |
1,613 | daddit | The trend of socialism over capitalism. |
1,614 | daddit | The entire point of this point defeats the purpose of winning with dignity. If you have dignity you do not blame loss on an entire "country" as the OP in this picture did. |
1,615 | daddit | Especially if they have the temper of their old man. They may join up just in spite. It seems much more dangerous to me to restrict kids from doing something and instead try to give kids the ability to see things from both sides. All these posts today of people saying their kids are upset about the results are rather... |
1,616 | daddit | "Hey dad! Stop telling me what to do. I'm going to go join the military so I can do what I want, when I want and people will stop telling me what to do!" Yeh. That's never happened. |
1,617 | daddit | This is amazing to me. Dude fuck off, you have nothing to base that statement on whatsoever. And yeah, I exercised my legal right to call 911 when being pulled over by an unmarked, personal vehicle with sirens. But you know me better than I do i guess. r/gofuckyourself Edit: I'll send you a picture of me in uniform w... |
1,618 | daddit | There's a difference between policing the world and being a part of the military that defends our nation. You are so rabid about hating Trump you're now tossing logic out the window. Get it together for your kids sake |
1,619 | daddit | It's just an arsehole talking big trying to impress his friend. Hilary's husband got his secretary to shove a cigar up her pussy, get over it, there isn't a thing you can do about it and the constant whining of the left only pushes people to vote guys like trump more because they get pleasure from pissing off whiny l... |
1,620 | daddit | Thats president elect trump to you. |
1,621 | daddit | Eh. I don't really accept that. There are multiple wars going on all at once in politics, and because of systematic flaws in our system it has boiled over into the hyper partisan environment we see. People are VERY invested in the culture wars, fighting against wealth inequality and how the economy should be run, envir... |
1,622 | daddit | Sitting back won't make people quit though. |
1,623 | daddit | To be fair, Mulroney was still Prime Minister, so Canada might have seemed right-wing by comparison for a short window of time. |
1,624 | daddit | I did have a bad time. |
1,625 | daddit | That's not a source, it's a Wikipedia page with "Citation Needed" next to almost all of the dates. The UK is definitely wrong, the Duke of Wellington handed over power peacefully who was the Prime Minister that preceded Charles Gray, so that at least takes it back to at least 1828. The Governments before this were co... |
1,626 | daddit | My students come in crying and they want to talk about it. If they want to talk, I talk a little before we get to work. |
1,627 | daddit | Thanks for that photo of Hillary embracing a guy who left the KKK in 1952 and has disavowed them and their actions. http://www.snopes.com/clinton-byrd-photo-klan/ |
1,628 | daddit | 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. |
1,629 | daddit | 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*" |
1,630 | daddit | Yeah, too bad we couldn't get a leader currently under FBI investigations. That doesn't know an email from a toe nail. That directly participated in the rigging of a primary election because it is "her turn". Vince Foster, cattle futures, I could go on. But go ahead, don't let that get in the way of whatever makes ... |
1,631 | daddit | 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. |
1,632 | daddit | Do they look scared to you? They don't to me, they just look like people who don't like something and think that attacking people is the best way to fix it, like shitty children. |
1,633 | daddit | "they were asking for it! look at what they were wearing!" |
1,634 | daddit | I have twin girls. Thankfully only 13 months old so no need to shield them or explain anything yet. It's hard to understand that the very guy most parents try to tell their daughters to stay away from is now the Pres. What a role model he will be. Tantrums, name calling, repeats himself over and over and louder and lou... |
1,635 | daddit | No no no, a massive divide is what got him into office. You cant understand his voters because you are not one, (neither am i). It looks like trumps demo was people in a shitty position, worried for their families and their jobs. you cant blame people for being willing to overlook some flaws if they believe hes going ... |
1,636 | daddit | Abortion or other similar issues such as legalizing marijuana, gay rights, and so on are local issues. If you have a problem with it in your state, then vote for the politician or ballot question that makes changes in your favor. I live in a state that legalized gay marriage, voted yesterday to legalize marijuana, and ... |
1,637 | daddit | Thanks for the well put-together response, I appreciate you explaining that point of view. I can see now where this could occur in republicans who respected Bernie for who he was, I am just surprised many agree with enough attributes of his campaign and goals to want to vote for him. As you said, it was probably his na... |
1,638 | daddit | 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... |
1,639 | daddit | 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. A good amount of these people are anti-globalists, not racists. They are workers scared about a changing and increasingly automated worl... |
1,640 | daddit | [No, they weren't you alarmist crybaby..](http://www.snopes.com/klan-marches-celebrate-trump-victory/) |
1,641 | daddit | Being concerned about refugees from a part of the world known for extremism without clear vetting procedures doesn't automatically make you xenophobic. You would screen someone before you let them into your house or near your family. Doing the same for the country is not a bad idea. No one is honestly going to shut dow... |
1,642 | daddit | [deleted] |
1,643 | daddit | I think it belittles the situation when people boil it down to "us vs them." It belittles the situation when a large amount of people generalize all Trump supporters as racists, misogynists, and homophobes. It belittles the situation when people on the other side tend to generalize Clinton supports as SJWs who are just... |
1,644 | daddit | 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. |
1,645 | daddit | I was just posting what he wanted, tbh. I'm curious about the sources too, and would love if someone tidied up the article. |
1,646 | daddit | Get some sources and update it! That's the entire point of Wikipedia |
1,647 | daddit | 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". |
1,648 | daddit | Yes... Not being a misogynist is so much more embarrassing than being a racist. |
1,649 | daddit | It is too bad. Now i have to explain to my kids that now we have one who has criminal and civil charges for sexual assault. I definitely care more about that than any email scandal or whatever |
1,650 | daddit | Eh it can at least justify my concerns |
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. |
1,653 | daddit | > Abortion or other similar issues such as legalizing marijuana, gay rights, and so on are local issues. If you have a problem with it in your state, then vote for the politician or ballot question that makes changes in your favor. I live in a state that legalized gay marriage, voted yesterday to legalize marijuana, an... |
1,654 | daddit | 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. These are fairly Republican demos. Fear of war with Russia also fed into Trump's success within these communities as well (and a... |
1,655 | daddit | They were sexist. We just went from bad to worse. |
1,656 | daddit | 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. |
1,657 | daddit | That didn't answer my question, and there is screening for them currently. |
1,658 | daddit | Lazy, fishing or ignorant? How about just 1 since I'm not sure which one you are. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. That is a super bonus example for you because it's aim is for global socialism by combating wealth inequality by spreading wealth INTERNATIONALY. |
1,659 | daddit | I think peoples motives are far more complex than you're stateing here. I see your point though, and do agree to an extent. Only a Sith deals in absolutes. |
1,660 | daddit | You're talking like I'm taking up arms against my fellow countrymen which I'm not. I volunteer and walk door to door to get people to vote. I debate. I call people reminding them that the Democratic party is the only party working for the middleclass. And I try to engage disenfranchised people to see that the system ca... |
1,661 | daddit | [removed] |
1,662 | daddit | That makes sense, I'm glad I have another perspective on Sanders supporters. Thanks. |
1,663 | daddit | 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. |
1,665 | daddit | [deleted] |
1,666 | daddit | Calling them racist is not debating. |
1,667 | daddit | Oh yeah...that'd definitely what the republicans did the last 8 years...rallied behind Obama and hoped for his success!? |
1,668 | daddit | Lmao the hypocrisy, the republicans obstructed Obama at any opportunity and set him up to fail and the United States is in the best place it's been in decades. So no, if you wanted liberals to rally behind your God Emperor maybe you shouldn't have been hypocrites |
1,669 | daddit | You're 100% right. |
1,670 | daddit | Multiple sources say he wants to appoint justices that would overturn it at a federal level and take it back to the states. That's not even remotely for same sex marriage. Once again, if it's not the refugees thing that I've heard a million times, I don't know how he's in any way a positive thing for the LGBT communit... |
1,671 | daddit | Of course it's a conspiracy (which is frequently given negative connotation because a lot of folks think we're not supposed to question what we're told by the government ), just like people were called conspiracy theorists in a negative way many years ago when they predicted our US government would obtain most all el... |
1,672 | daddit | I’m sending you hugs across the internet, dude. |
1,673 | daddit | I have a 3 year old…I’m going to get off Reddit and spend time with him. Thank you for sharing. Your post is a bittersweet reminder for every parent what’s really important. I’m so sorry for everything. |
1,674 | daddit | I'm sorry man, I offer my sincerest condolences. cancer fucking sucks, lost my wife to it 6 years ago. Seriously consider seeking therapy for you and your wife. There are cases where caring for someone who has a prolonged illness can cause complex PTSD, its has been difficult to deal with, but not completely insurmoun... |
1,675 | daddit | My wife and I discovered that our 15-year-old has Hodgkin's lymphoma just recently. The initial prognosis is good, but I can't sleep at night. Reading this post breaks my heart, but it also gives me hope. From your words I can see that you and your wife faced this bravely and with your bond intact. It serves as an in... |
1,676 | daddit | My deepest sympathies. Your son sounds incredible. Take care. |
1,677 | daddit | I fucking love you and I’m so, so sorry. Every internet hug. |
1,678 | daddit | Not much harder than that brother. My condolences to you and your family. You got this. Do it for him. If you ever need anything we Dads got your back dude. |
1,679 | daddit | I can't finish reading this. There aren't really and words for this type of thing. |
1,680 | daddit | No words from me only tears my friend |
1,681 | daddit | Just a fellow dad, sitting, crying with you |
1,682 | daddit | I took comfort in the fact his pain has ended. I shed tears for *you.* The pain of loss has just begun for you and your family, and for that I am so very sorry. In memory of your son, I gave my daughter a very tight squeeze and told her how much I loved her. (she was grumpy because she couldn't see the TV. Totall... |
1,683 | daddit | I'm so sorry mate. I wish I had something better to say. |
1,684 | daddit | Sending you hugs and my deepest condolences. I'm in tears reading this. It's fucking unfair... |
1,685 | daddit | Like a few others posted, my son is the same age. The thought of losing him is incomprehensible. I truly hope you take comfort in knowing you gave him the best, and fullest life you could. His love will be with you and your family forever. |
1,686 | daddit | Oof.. that is rough. It goes without saying, but anything that would help you through this feel free to let me know. My boy is right about that age and I can't imagine the pain you are going through. |
1,687 | daddit | Thank you for sharing. My heart breaks for you and your family. My condolences. |
1,688 | daddit | There will never be words to comfort you, but there are a lot of people out here pulling for you. |
1,689 | daddit | It sounds like you have good support around you. I am glad to hear at least that. May you one day find the peace that you seek and deserve. |
1,690 | daddit | Fuck, I remember your original post and it stuck with me for a long time. Especially the part where your kid being full of energy and wanting to play. Thoughts going out to you and yours. |
1,691 | daddit | So sorry bud. Can’t imagine the pain you and your family are experiencing. |
1,692 | daddit | Fuck cancer. Sorry brother. |
1,693 | daddit | I haven’t seen it said yet, I think it needs to be said: fuck cancer. |
1,694 | daddit | So, so sorry for your loss, brother. |
1,695 | daddit | My condolences to you and your family, if you need anything feel free to message me. I know I’m just a stranger but I’d be willing to help as much as I can. I can’t even imagine what y’all are going through. |
1,696 | daddit | Hugs |
1,697 | daddit | I am so sorry for your loss. May the memory of your son be a blessing. |
1,698 | daddit | Tearing up my friend. I wish you and your family and friend the best |
1,699 | daddit | I’m so sorry. Rest in power to your boy. His struggle is over and now you have to be strong and remember him in all is glory. My wife and daughter are playing in another room and I will never take the laughter and pitter patter of little feet for granted while we live. This much I owe to you. None of you deserves this. |
1,700 | daddit | I read every word... Having a one year old son this post really hits me, knowing my sons curiosity, cleverness and awareness. I thank you for sharing. I hope you and your wife do some happy things, either spontaneously or in honour of this very specific journey. I'd offer more words but none are needed. All the best ... |
