And I guess that the Democrats who’ve voted for Biden are trying to do what’s best for democracy because they believe he can beat trump. I’m sure he can, in a fair fight. I didn’t vote for him in the primary but I’ll vote for him in November because it’s the right thing to do. Those who sat out voting for HRC or switched to Trump did the wrong thing for democracy and we’re paying the price.
Also, Ron, I’m not writing those few Obama / Trump switchers off. I don’t personally want anything to do with those pieces of shit, but a good candidate will speak to them.
And a good broad-minded citizen should vote for democracy and what’s best for the country, sorry.
“Must we always nominate someone who isn’t a white male to satisfy you?”
Not at all. This has nothing to do with me. My argument is that women and people of color are angry as hell about what’s been done to them over 400 years of being held down by men. Angry enough to burn shit down in some instances.
Progress has been made under some democratic presidents (who, yes, were men), and now that progress has been largely wiped out by a bunch of little bitch boys who’ve hijacked the Republican Party and will cheat and destroy the constitution to win.
Anyone with such a vested interest in arguing that the people who voted to put these guys in power are good people, I have to conclude is also on some level racist and/or sexist and/or xenophobic.
“ Trump has popularized racism. Among his followers it’s hip, trendy, and cool as hell.
Had HRC won, I very much doubt we would see so many Karens calling the cops on black people. Trump emboldened Public racism to a level gone since the 1950s.”
That’s true, they love being able to openly be racist assholes. It’s so refreshing after 8 years of a Black man in office and having to be “pc.”
Someone asked how Obama was in office for 2 terms. Idk, maybe because Russia started interfering on behalf of republicans during his second term? Maybe because the majority of Americans don’t condone racism?
Ron. They knew what he stood for and they said, “that’s ok with me.”
Anyway, it’s still only a very small slice of Trump’s pie. And sexism would definitely explain it, if you’re saying they would have voted for Bernie. And if they chose the man over the woman the first time HRC ran. So would Xenophobia. But a vote Trump is a vote for racism any way you slice it.
