I keep hearing commentators on TV and radio say that win or lose, Democrats are going to need to “reach out” to non-college whites after this election. I have done various jobs as a volunteer for the Democratic Party, but they are going to need to look for someone else when it comes to that one. The only way I would like to “reach out” to those fuckheads is with a baseball bat to cave their heads in. :mad: ---

> [@Rick](#): > > Another shinning example of liberal tolerance. It’s not about liberal or conservative (I wouldn’t say this if any of the other candididates had been nominated, except maybe Carson). Hell, it wouldn’t even matter if Trump weren’t a blatantly racist, misogynistic, sexual predator. For Americans to elect a patently absurd, obvious con man and buffoon to the most important single job in the world is absolutely inexcusable. It is a stain upon our image and credibility before the world, even if he manages not to do any great damage otherwise. ---

The Democratic Party is gonna have to do a LOT more “reaching out” than just to the aforementioned. Many progressives stayed home, voted for Stein or another real progressive, or even voted for Trump out of protest. The DemocRATS fucked up by hosing down Bernie Sanders. Black turnout - down. Every single elite “liberal” in this country, from those on “street-level” all the way up to the Wicked Witch herself, needs to look at what happened tonight and realize that it’s time to stop just talking game about uplifting the suppressed (while completely ignoring us in reality), and actually start DOING it. The days of them living it up and not breaking off any of that for people like me gotta end if they’re gonna have a chance. Period. ---

Dems don’t have to do anymore reaching out. That’s bullshit. You might as well explain Shakespeare to a turnip. Let them fuck the nation for 4-8 years and they’ll come crawling back like they always do after they fuck it up. Explaining anything to them is a waste of time. ---

Lysistrata time. If all the women who voted for Hillary would shun all the men who voted for Trump, maybe we could get the point across. ---

Your attitude has sucked this entire election, **SlackerInc**. One of the only redeeming factors from tonight is knowing how crushed you must be that your scientifically proven powers of prediction have proven to be so very made-up. ---

Sure, the ones who studied hard sciences might be, but the ones who study liberal arts, really are not; they’re just rich kids who think they’re smart because they follow liberal arts professor pied pipers who feed them Gender Studies and Ethnic Studies, intersectionality, etc. Those kind of kids are not really much smarter than non-college whites who just elected Trump; they’re more arrogant. ---

> [@eulalia](#): > > Lysistrata time. If all the women who voted for Hillary would shun all the men who voted for Trump, maybe we could get the point across. But two-thirds of women voters are white, and white women (not just the blue collar ones but them and the ones with college degrees combined together) voted for Trump over Hillary by a [double digit margin.](http://www.nbcnews.com/card/nbc-news-exit-poll-trump-winning-among-some-groups-women-n681011) ---
