That Maddow tax shyt went over as expected.
a lack of resources is why Dems lost a bunch of races.
You can be principled all you want, but if you aren't getting funds then something else has to give.
The law ALLOWS those donations. Its only the Dems who want to be on some high and mighty shyt.
Well guess what, you can play that game but you will lose cause the other team is doing it.
Is Hillary the only democrat you know?Lmao are you serious. A lack of resources?
Hillary raised millions more than Trump could even imagine. She didn't bother helping out any other Dem candidate. That's on her and the DNC.
Lack of resources
Is Hillary the only democrat you know?
Dude, tons of Black people DIDN'T VOTE because they refused to vote for Hillary. Of course of the Black people who did vote, she'd get roughly the same percentages of Black votes that your average dem gets, because most Black people feel trapped and obligated to vote for Democrats
Those guys at the barbershop were in WISCONSIN. Hillary lost WISCONSIN. She also lost Michigan, Indiana, & Ohio, also.
If typical democratic voters (Blacks, Latinos, women) in Cleveland, Detroit, Flint, and Milwaukee came out for Hillary in any real way, she'd be president right now. Those are heavily Black cities.
When did I ever say that Trump didn't use "divisive rhetoric"?
The numbers say that that's not why he won, though.
There was no tsunami of White voters voting against Blacks/Hispanics as Donald Trump only did a little bit better with them than Mitt Romney did.
He did do a LITTLE bit better with Blacks and a LOT better with Asians & Latinos than Romney did.
He also did MUCH better with White women than Romney did.
What that says is that Hillary LOST the election because Blacks, Latinos, Asians, & Women did not show up for her. That's not Donald's racist rhetoric.
That's welfare reform, Clinton Crime Bill, Iraq War, being Wall-Street's bytch, and a ton of other reasons that minorities and women said when faced with the idea of voting for her.
Almost incrementally you would sayIt's not a 'snap of the finger' type thing. It takes a consistent message and concerted effort to get things done and it would happen gradually not all at once.
You don't run your election campaign on promoting incremental change is what I'm saying. State your ultimate goals and follow through with your legislation proposals.Almost incrementally you would say
That doesn't make him an elitist. You're robbing these words of their meaning. And this is something that shouldn't need repeating, but you don't unilaterally disarm. You don't give Republicans another advantage. Why is this so hard to understand? Once you've actually managed to capture the house, senate, presidency and changed the ideological makeup of the supreme court, then you do away with things like cu/corporate donations/what-have-you. You can't rely on small donors to cover the budget needed to fuel a 50 state rebuilding effort. Right now, you gotta do what you gotta do in this garbage system until you get enough power to make the change.
A lot of blacks that voted last election didn't vote at all is obvious with the drop of 93% to 88% but Hillary's numbers are in line to what the average Dem candidate gets in an election.
In those regions she lost the black vote because she didn't campaign effectively and resonate with their frustration. In the article some the black men mentioned they couldn't vote for Hillary because if her political baggage but most of them ALSO couldn't vote for Trump because of his racist rhetoric.
The white ppl revived by Trumps racism came out in his support. Just because a "Tsunami" of white ppl didn't support a racist doesn't mean racism didn't help him win (more on this at the bottom)
You can't just look at numbers though. The devil is in the details. Its more nuance than saying "more white people voted for Romney than Trump so racism didn't help him win." That's ridiculously obtuse.
He did slightly better with blacks than the Romney/McCain but still hovered in the single digit area that most Republican candidates on average get. Most of these are blacks that vote Repub regardless. The small few that switched over to vote for him did it for a multitude of reasons but that doesn't discount his racist appeal to white nationalist/supremacist.
The latino groups that were protesting Trump supporters across the country and violently attacking Trump supporters in San Diego weren't doing it because of simply because political reasons. They also weren't doing this with Romney and McCain supporters. Must've been something said and done that drove them to repudiate Trumps campaign so harshly
Uneducated white women gnerally break for Repubs. They're not as much of a monolith group as minority groups are so a women candidate doesn't guarantee a large portion of their appeal.
I'm sure those were PART of the reasons some minorities didn't vote for her I'm also saying couple that with Trump racist rhetoric that helped put the odds in his favor over Clinton's.
Dems had the lead in most states until the Healthcare premium news and Comey's letter came into play.
you can't have it both ways.You don't run your election campaign on promoting incremental change is what I'm saying. State your ultimate goals and follow through with your legislation proposals.
Yeah. Over her last 30 years. Hundreds. She sure did.Did Hillary help any down ballot Dems?
bruh, why are you OK with the republicans doing this to win?So, being owned by corporate money doesn't make you an elitist? It does in my world.
Yeah. Over her last 30 years. Hundreds. She sure did.
Has bernie?
