Enjoy the clean smog coming your way from all the clean coal you'll be mining.

News interviews hilarious so far. Hey Cain, I assume you're hitting the whiskey but when you sober up, how much extra sway do you think this will give the right wings in Europe? I have a horrible feeling it's more than I'm thinking.

Im thinking the right wing in Europe is gaining power for the same reason it is in America. Because it actually tries to understand people and relate to them and persuade them to its cause. While the left lectures them like misbehaving school children from a position of moral authority they barely had to being with, and that they have spent the past decade or so completely destroying while, again, lecturing people like school children for not recognizing it.

Pandering and playing to the crowd is not the same as understanding and relating.

This is true. And Trump might learn this the hard way if he doesnt deliver. He was elected on a platform, and without it hes a subpar meme politician.

My point still stands. Most of you thought Trump COULDNT win, because you didnt understand why anyone would vote for him. Because you made no efforts to. You are either unwilling or uncapable of understanding how the average person in your country actually thinks and what matters to them.(pro tip: it isnt "theyre all dumb hick racists" but go ahead and keep repeating that. It did you SO WELL this time around.) If you do not fix this you will continue to lose.

What the fuck is it then? Other than the addition of "sexist" "homophobic" "superstitious/religious" and "worthless human garbage" to the list of descriptors?

EDIT:
Oh wait, I know, it's because of that stupid conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton killing Vince Foster

(caring about the email thing falls under the "dumb hick" umbrella)

What do you guys think the future of the Democratic party is going to be? I imagine there's a serious identity crisis happening for them at the moment.

And probably a lot of people saying under their breath... "What would have happened if we'd nominated Sanders?"

This is what I would like to see.  An identity crisis which leads the Democrats to reconnect with labor and disconnect from wall street would be really good for them, really good for the country, and might do enough good to even out the bad Trump is going to do.

Trump is, however, the government America deserves.  A truly postmodern fascist in a clown suit, like Berlusconi without any redeeming qualities as many coke-filled parties with hookers.

Hillary Clinton will most likely be the next president, if you look at the numbers.

I have a horrible feeling of dread, though.

Making a problem worse is not how you fix it.

Which is why its going to be so fun to watch SMART PEOPLEtm doubling down on Trump being Hitler incarnate and further alienating themselves from the majority of this country who voted for him.

You know what, you're right. The left needs to rise above the equivalent of the birthers, and the ones who thought Obama was literally the devil.
Trump isn't hitler, he's a bad candidate, Clinton was a bad candidate too, but in my eyes preferable to Trump, but that's in the past.
Now we have one of the two bad candidates as president. So far this one has demonstrated that he is a misogynist, is incapable of coherent argument or taking accountability for what he says.
If he flip flopped so much during the run up to the election, it will be easy to define the things he does wrong as president, . In likelyhood there will be a lot of that. We must now look at this toad objectively, also look at what he gets right because ignoring that could turn the democrats into the tea party.

You're right Faust. I think it's necessary to examine it objectively. I also think that the primary weakness of the actual "nazis" involved in supporting him is in no longer being able to truly DO that with their heads shoved so up his ass.

I think it's time to be stepping BACK to take bearings and not lean "left or right" at all at this time. Mayhap a clearer course can be measured from better skies in good time.

In the meantime I'm just going to get down to business with my life and prep for rough waters either way.

Though I do believe that Lord NHGH has some bigger plan for this one.

I just wish I could somehow contrive to be elsewhere when it happens.
