They were either so insignificant that the party was right to ignore them, in which case they cannot have changed the outcome, or they are so pivotal that they threw the election to trump, in which case the party was run by fools so enamored with genocide that they would rather have trump than abandon it.
Or they were within that 1.8%, which to an election campaign expecting just thousands to decide the vote, seems like both.
Right. The party is run by fools so enamored with genocide that they would rather have trump than abandon it, then.
Not like the centrist wing has ever stood for anything else.
I’m blaming the subjects of this article right now, the Uncommitted, pro-Trump, anti-Dem voters. That’s where I’m laying blame right now, and laughing that none of this went the way they thought and they should have known better.
Then the party should have courted them. They chose not to.
Nah, I don’t believe so, and certainly not in the tone they were carrying on with.
They fucked themselves over so fucking hard with that bullshit, and now here we are. Just funny to hear them crying about it. They built their own house of cards and are dealing with the consequences of it now, but potentially involved the rest of the US, so fuck em.
Yes, the suffering of Muslims was funny to you before the election, too.
I find the irony of anyone who was looking at the two viable candidates and not doing everything they can to prevent Trump getting into office darkly humorous when they’re standing around complaining about it. As right-winger say, this is the “find out” phase.
Congratulations on showing grieving families who’s boss, then.
Do you suppose your cruelty will cause them to come back?
