So this campaign will be much like any other political campaign- one in which the politician courts specific voters? How clever!

Ah, but that’s the problem…Hillary is NOT courting specific voters. She’s courting _everyone_.

Which is as divisive as is possible to be.

[This Sizzler’s commercial from 1991](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3YGtQ40Qvs) is also full of demographic fairy tales. I am appalled.

Reading the 1st sentence of the OP I learned who the haters are, and it is the OP and the like.

Ny thoughts exactly. There are are already 2, but this fucktard needs a 3rd. Why is this even open? Is there some special explanation that won’t fit in one of the other threads?

You know, the type who might say, “I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years". I’m not going to engage in the cold-hearted analysis of modern political campaigning and try to appease the lightweights. I deign my reasoning and you do with it what you please. I believe this election will be waged on the terms of “demographic warfare.”

Hilarious. The entire strategy of the Republican Party for the last 35 years has been to wage “demographic warfare”. They pander to low-information white voters in order to get them to vote against their own economic self-interest.

Alluding to those who think differently than you do as “haters” is so 7th grade.

Alright. I gotta ask.

Is _deign_ pronounced \*dane \*or _deen_.

Oh, and yeah, soon as Hillary adds PayPal, I’ll be a founding donor…

“Maggie: I thought it was interesting that someone is speaking Spanish in the video.”

Why the fuck is that interesting? I might assume that more than a few people in this country speak it. Is this linguistic warfare alongside the demographic already mentioned?

This morning my wife and I deigned shopping at the farmer’s market. We deigned a few tomato plants, we deigned these great little donuts, but they didn’t deign eggs, unfortunately. Now we’re deigning a little break. You gotta deign yourself when you deign the free time, of course. My wife is deigning on the couch, while the Matrix is deigning on cable for the millionth time. Neo just deigned where he really deigns.

Deign it.
