Can they tolerate my criticism though? Because I'm going to cut deep.
This is a topic in the rural thread too.I'm hoping the left learns that when you call a spade a spade that spade doesn't vote for you. Take the moral high ground all you want, but it doesn't win you elections.
53% of white woman voted for Trump according to a CNN Exit Poll, Trump won the white male vote 63%. For the record, Trump's figures for blacks, Hispanics and Asian-Americans was 8%, 29% and 29% respectively.
2. Try to understand people different from you, you don't even have to agree.
Why do minorities need to teach dumb-fuck, racist white people to not be dumb fucking racists?
Because they want to win elections?
Yes, they are.
Yes, you did. You're telling minorities to "understand" the bigots.
We already understand them. They hate minorities.
We understand the Republicans have disenfranchised them, and they continue to vote Republican. We already know all of these things.
Why should I listen to people calling me a nigger again? Or wanting to kick Muslims out? Or shooting people who look like me on a daily basis? Or voting against my rights? Or voting against the rights of women and LBGT? Do you not realize that it absolutely is not a matter of "think differently hurr durr," you're desperately trying to normalize that mindset as "just a different opinion man." So I ask you this, what's your race?No one said anything about teaching racists. If you can't be bothered to listen to people who think differently than you then there's nothing to say.
To have power to implement policies to make the lives of minorities better off you need to find common cause with people that want to hurt them.
Why wouldn't you call a spade a spade?
Not everyone saying it. I've made arguments today about how not every Trump supporter voted for Trump because of racially based opinions. The idea that it's impossible to vote for Trump and not do so because of his platform on minorites is childish and simple minded.Yes, they are.
By this logic if you voted for Obama than you support sending drones to bomb foreign countries. You don't have to support every single thing a candidate says when you vote for him.if they voted trump they kind of supported those things though
That's not how that works. There isn't an answer.Because they want to win elections?
Exactly.how good must you have it for racism not to be an absolute dealbreaker but just a "differing opinion"
Ah, so racism and sexism and xenophobia are just opinions, right?'Why do we lose the election when we call everyone that disagrees with us even partially racist and dumb?'
The left doesn't have a monopoly on morality and truth. Get off your high horse and realise that the world is a complex place.
Why is it the responsibility of minorities to sacrifice effort to teach the rest our viewpoints? Why can't the majority take interest in our point of view?
Why should they? What do they gain from putting others before themselves?Why is it the responsibility of minorities to sacrifice effort to teach the rest our viewpoints? Why can't the majority take interest in our point of view?
Why isn't the world perfect.Why is it the responsibility of minorities to sacrifice effort to teach the rest our viewpoints? Why can't the majority take interest in our point of view?

That MLK quote is directly applicable to what's going on in your very post though. MLK would hate you as a person dude.You guys are entirely lacking in introspection, you're out of touch with working Americans, and you don't understand the conditions that allow demagoguery to take hold. You feel that you can accomplish your ends by nagging and haranguing people in a tone deaf manner instead of listening to what they have to say. And I think invoking MLK in the face of the defeat of a Democratic candidate is disgraceful, as it's been plain to see that black Americans have been suffering as much under Obama as anybody.

Hey if you don't want to be labeled don't vote for a candidate that is. You can't cherry pick an issue, if you vote for them you get the whole package.Libs will never learn why they lost if they continue to label anyone who doesn't tow the line as sexist/racist/bigoted/etc.
The GOP controls more of America than they have in generation. The SCOTUS will now lean 5-4 conservative. And this is directly after a relatively popular Dem president's two terms.
It's time to try a new strategy. I don't know what that strategy is, but it's obvious that blanket labeling of the opposition isn't doing Dems any favors.
They weren't even the voting majority, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.
You can't vote for a bigot and say "I don't support his bigotry."Not everyone saying it.

The idea that it's impossible to vote for Trump and not do so because of his platform on minorites is childish and simple minded.
And that's a really big problem. What common ground can be found between a gay person and someone who thinks they shouldn't be able to marry? What common ground can be found between a trans person and someone who thinks they shouldn't be able to use the right bathroom?
In those cases, what compromise is there that would make both sides happy?
Ah, so racism and sexism and xenophobia are just opinions, right?
No, I'm not on a high horse. You're on a low horse and proud about it.
Moderates in action.That MLK quote is directly applicable to what's going on in your very post though. MLK would hate you as a person dude.
Poe's law. Really need a /sI DO NOT support this man who has campaigned on making life harder for you, socially and otherwise.
All I did was vote him into presidential office with the most powerful government in 100 years.
Maybe you can stop making this about race (something that doesn't affect me) and start talking about the REAL issues?

I don't blame anyone for hating Trump supporters, but condemning Trump supporters won't win elections.
The point is that we should stop calling them the majority. They aren't. The people chose Clinton. Idiots in the EC thought otherwise.Popular vote doesn't win presidential elections, no matter how much you want it to.
No.Stop demonizing Trump supporters.

Label them what you want. It's those kinds of generalizations that drive uncertain people from voting for the candidate that people like that support.Hey if you don't want to be labeled don't vote for a candidate that is. You can't cherry pick an issue, if you vote for them you get the whole package.
Stop defending bigotry.Yep, if Dems hold the same attitude towards Trump supporters that people like Squalor have we're going to end up with Trump, again for 2020.
Stop demonizing Trump supporters. It clearly has not worked in your favor.
Did you read the quote or whatLMAO. You're either entirely clueless or a shameless sophist.
Why do minorities need to teach dumb-fuck, racist white people to not be dumb fucking racists?
You don't have an answer. I know you don't. You don't have an answer because there isn't one.
One. No I didn't. I voted for Hillary. I'm just not so simple minded that I only see things in extremely literal terms. The idea that you support 100% of the shit a candidate says when you vote for him is insane. If that were the case, I would probably literally never vote for anyone.You can't vote for a bigot and say "I don't support his bigotry."
You do. You voted for it.
