When those inner feelings are woven with hate and ignorance guess what Houston?
I am not saying you felt this way, just piggy backing off of your posts.
To a racist and bigot, they don't see themselves as the problem. They see the other person as the problem.

This is why I was surprised Bernie didn't get the nomination. He's another outsider, decent guy, but nope...
Sigh. Hopefully I'll deal with this soon enough because it's exhausting.

This is the worst part. The right guy was there. FU Trump. FU Hillary.

Maybe unattainable ones. He would have fought the corporations tooth and nail. He would have left gays and minorities off of the shit list and treated them like effing human god damned beings. He also looks exactly like Larry David which is always a plus. He would have done good for the environment too. Minor details.

The southern black vote fucked Bernie from getting that nomination. I can't for the life of me understand why they wouldn't vote for a guy who was arrested for protesting civil rights or who walked with Martin Luther King over a woman who's policies led to high incarceration rates for blacks.
The sad part of it is, the southern votes shouldn't really even mean anything because they are in deep red states which will always go red in presidential elections.

Well remember, the Clinton team AND the democratic national party were working together against Bernie.
IMO the dems need to kick Clinton, her entire team and much of the dem national party to the curb. This is an embarrassment to lose to effing trump.

This is the only silver lining I can see right now...
While I fully expect him to fail spectacularly, I'll be the first to eat crow if he doesn't. Maybe next time the country will find someone who has it right.
Time to start posting more on football. This is the most I've cared or talked about politics in my entire life. Just dragging me down. Will catch you guys on the other side on this one...

meh, people...driven by the outrage porn the media pushes 24/7... are obsessed about race. Guess what? the race exit polls are in line with the last election. Actually Trump slightly won more of the African American vote over Romney and won 30% of the latino vote. 30% of the latino vote, think about that for a second.
The media is not paying attention to the stat that always tells the winner....Who won the "independent" vote. This bullshit has nothing to do about race. Americans went to vote period.
Why is the country seem so divided ? Blame your bullshit fucking president Obama who sat on you hands the last 6 years. I tell you folks are so bias they refused to blame this god aweful leader. Its actually pathetic at this point. fucking pathetic
Other than my taxes/insurance going up as a result of Obamacare he really hasn't had a personal impact on me, and my attitude on the taxes/insurance is that they would've gone up anyways (my insurance rates were going up prior to Obamacare as well so I'm not bitter about that, one way or another somebody is going to get theirs at your expense).
For me the main concerns about Trump is his stated plan to undo as much of Obama's executive actions as he can. If he repeals Obamacare and replaces it with something better I am fine with that. But repealing it and doing nothing is unacceptable.
The other strong point is climate change, he has literately stated that global warming is a Chinese hoax. By going lax on the environmental regulations who knows how many years he will set back and you really have to consider the fact that scientists say we are almost at the point where continued inaction will make it impossible to reverse the decline. If he backs out of the Paris treaty and basically tells companies to go wild it could be digging too large of a hole for future generations to take care of the Earth.
My final thing that I am semi-passionate about is immigration/lgbt/African American rights. We have started making progress towards equality for most and if Trump plans to repeal the marriage equality bill well then he's going to piss off a ton of people. And what do people do when they're pissed off over a lack of equal treatment? They riot.
Immigration is a touchy subject but I support stronger border enforcement. I don't think a wall is the answer though especially considering tunnels are becoming a very common method to smuggle drugs and people over the border. The idea that Mexico will pay for a wall is ludicrous too.
I don't really have a choice but to give him a shot and hope things work out for the better but I don't see it happening. Already seeing stories about him electing CEO's of companies to cabinet positions and I absolutely fail to see how private sector leaders would have any public interests at heart. We'll see though.
