To continue on yesterday's theme...
For those of you who are blaming the Democratic party for giving us a less that desirable candidate... or that it is corrupt... burned Bernie... etc...
Let me ask you this:
What did we gain from your protesting and tantrum against Hillary? Do all her flaws add up to being more dangerous than the Monster we just elected?
And before you start in with your "she's a lousy candidate"... you are a lousy voter... remember even Bernie said vote for Hillary because we can not afford 4 years of dismantling the progress we have made... and for all your love of him you could not get over selves and be adult and vote to support the Democrat because you dislike her for (insert what ever your lame excuse is here).
42% of all white voters voted for Trump....
53% of white women voted for Trump
62% of white males for for Trump
I'm inclined to believe these numbers reflect those who will be least negatively affected by this election... those who are not connected in any meaningful way to to the communities who will be damaged by Trump's presidency. It easy to weigh the risks based on your privilege and status in society. It's easy if your not profiled... or harassed by your boss... or denied a promotion for your sex... or ostresized by society... it's easy to look the other way and pretend you care.
So.... before post another hair-splitting-mash-up- Monday-morning-quarterbacking-dem-bashing opinion-piece.... Or.... this is why the Democratic party sucks post... We had one job as voters and that was to not let this guy near the presidency. We failed.... let that sink in....
