Yeah I'm going to bed now, hate to say it but it's over. 4 more years of that fucking dipshit and his shenanigans.

Well... looks like we're fleeing the country.

[–] Fredselfish 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Good luck to you. There is no escape if Trump wins.

There's an escape from my daughter being put in a conversion therapy camp. That's my focus now.

Jesus Christ he might even actually have the popular vote.

Dear America: WTF

I really didn’t think we had this many Nazis.

[–] InverseParallax 9 points 3 weeks ago

I always knew we did, we just never empowered them as blatantly.

What I didn't appreciate is how lazy the non-nazis among us were, I mean, wow.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol. At least Gaza is a parking lot now!

[–] InverseParallax -5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Gaza? Was that an issue?

Sorry, the only people who cared about Gaza are drunk and celebrating in st Petersburg right now.

[–] HomerianSymphony 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe this attitude is why Democrats lost.

Maybe the Democrats should have reached out to independent voters who were concerned about Gaza instead of accusing them all of being Russian agents.

[–] InverseParallax -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe you should really show the democrats how you feel, by voting nazi directly, that will REALLY show them all!

[–] HomerianSymphony 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

And now you're accusing independents of being Nazis. Like that's gonna help.

I mean, I understand. You're just following the example of your party leaders, like when Hillary accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian agent. Like most people, you look to your political leaders to understand the political landscape, and your party really hasn't given you any other example.

One of the functions of political parties is to spread political literacy among the population, and the Democrats and the Republicans both feed you nonsense because they're never going to tell you "the truth is we serve the corporate class, lol".

It's not your fault that they're failing you. But they are failing you. And they're failing America.

I'm not accusing independents of being nazis.

But the idiots who stood divided and let Hitler take power?

Those morons mostly died in Russia, or the bombings.

Why would they bring back the needle? It was the worst thing of all 2016. It’s nothing but provoking anxiety and I can’t even go to the website as a result.
