They cannot get out of their own goddamn way. Economic and anti-racist politics go hand in hand. The point is to show how structural racism provides both relative privilege to whites, whilst simultaneously undercutting them elsewhere,e.g., what Trump is going to to to their social security.

 

it doesnt make sense to say jill stein took votes from hillary, then say thered be no support for a further left candidate

 

I do think we need someone like Bernie on the ticket in 2020 but who can be there for 8 years like Obama. I love Bernie and would vote for him no matter what if he ran in 2020, but we need someone up there for two terms.

 

what do i know, but i think he'll be good for the market for while. it will be one of a million things that'll add to a sense of normalcy.

 

Yeah, this is life now. Like, fucking Leonardo Dicaprio or something is next.

 

I do too. This will be the best three year run banks have seen in a decade.

My fear is what's on the end of this. Rich people are about to make a lot of money and leave others holding the bag. 2008 was forgotten so easily by these idiots.

 

God his silhouette even pisses me off

 

The lack of support wouldn't come from the far left. It would be the moderate and voters who just voted for Trump.

 

i am no longer ok

 

of course he wants revenge. he's a fucking toddler that got his toy taken away from him.

 

After they calmed down, they realized the market is going to be the Wild West.

 

yep! and Bernie was right. there was more work to be done. but instead of moving forward, or at least holding ground, it will get worse.

 

Sure let's see if likability alone gets you nominated

 

only recently have i learned that the Rock is a republican. that's kinda shocking to me

 

My year of banging that drum got drowned out by spirit cooking and bad server management. At least the other guy didn't have 12 women accuse him of sexual assault and then have him threaten to sue them along with the NYtimes for pointing that and that he didn't pay taxes out. And now we're here.

 

Sure, why not. And, while we're at it, let's give the Tupac hologram a shot.

 

Michael Moore: Trump won't finish his first term

And one more, heh. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Republicans try to get rid of Trump at first opportunity. Pence is much more in line with what they wanted out of this election.

 

Yep. And, obviously, I know the circumstances are a bit different, but I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that, after sexual abuse allegations against Cosby resurfaced, he had all pending deals shredded and his career was ruined. Trump brags about sexual assault and is accused by a dozen women. America's response? Elect that badass!

 

It's almost like most of the country didn't vote for him.

 

I would most def vote for Tupac hologram

 

We're dreaming if we delude ourselves in believing that Trump could be impeached. The Republicans love him. Sure, they'll act disgusted by him when it serves them well, but come on, Trump is basically just a slightly unfiltered version of the modern Republican.

 

no one standing up and saying anything is the bigger issue. that whole train not bombarding this woman with at the very least with laughter at the ridiculousness of it all or at the very best shunning this woman off the train
