President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This one's for you @Neutral Corner:

 

Why is governing 10 states with 30 million people winning more than governing 1 state with 40 million?

 

When are you guys ever going to learn this wasn't about racism, Russians, sexism, homophobia, religion, etc.?

This was about changing politics and all the corrupt bureaucratic bullshit that has dragged down our country and stagnated our governmental process, making people feel helpless and hopeless. This was about sending a message that the little guy was not going to play politics any longer. This was about putting America first over all other priorities. If Democrats ever fully comprehend that message, they'll understand how to win the next election.

 

I look forward to the day politicians I prefer can 100% control the message and never, ever let issues they find uncomfortable be brought up. But that day is not coming.

 

This was about white Americans feeling hopeless and helpless because being white and American used to make them global royalty and now it just makes them pretty well off.

 

I'm liking any fucking post that mentions "Eres Tu."

 

Both parties, the way the organizations are run, have major issues. That we got the candidates we did shows that. The Dems can't win elections and the GOP, in many high offices, is failing at governing. I'm not talking about ideology, these are just poorly run organizations.

Whether the electoral college system needs adjustment is a conversation worth having, but the Democrats knew what game they were playing. Clinton's campaign was like a basketball coach saying hey, we don't need to bother shooting free throws. We can just make a few half-court shots.

 

Hillary had my vote so long as anyone else but Trump got the Republican nomination. Trump represented change. Hillary and every other candidate represented the same-old, same-old politics.

My generation was tired of hearing the same promises and seeing no real results. So we did something about it. Race, sex and none of that other stuff were ever part of the equation.

 

You do not speak for your generation. You speak for you.

Speaking for me, your generation is a swarm of locusts determined to destroy everything in your selfishness and you can all eat a bag of dicks.

 

Why indeed

 

The problem is that considering who the Republican candidate turned out to be, "that other stuff" is like the entire equation.
