Not wanting to have an authoritarian misogynist racists as president makes me “smug”?

Get rid of the “problem” people in DC, the democrats mostly. Especially the women and POC.

I’m pretty sure when you point out their racism/misogyny/authoritarianism, racists/misogynists/authoritarians label that “smug.” What else can they do, really?

Snarking at Trump voters instead of pressuring Clinton to reach out to them and offer them a reason to vote for her (instead of against Trump) might be seen as smug.

swamp = mud?
Apparently racism and misogyny aren’t “real” problems, I guess. But you know, I’m a woman, so I should just shut my damn mouth, I guess.

The DNC cheated, connived, and colluded with the Clinton campaign to nominate her over a progressive candidate who had polled much better than either candidate both before and after the primaries.
The Clinton campaign connived to get Trump nominated by the Republicans by undermining the Bush campaign.
This was the fight the Democrats WANTED.

Yep. I’m a fucking asshole for not kowtowing to men at all times and for thinking I matter.

Clinton did try to reach out to the poor, disenfranchised working class people screwed by the system, but it didn’t matter, since the media’s takeaway was “basket of deplorables.”

Narrowly. But yeah, electoral college is pretty stupid, like the primary system that promoted her. But it’s the sort of American Way of Life thing that will probably never change.

And what gets me is also hearing that fucking “Take our country back” actually explained. Back to the 1910? Back away from gay people? Back from black people? Back from Muslims? Back from rich people? (Bit of a failure there if that was it)
I’m white male and gay and not feeling included at the moment. I’m kinda feeling glad I never came out at work.
On the plus side I can probably take up smoking pot.

I’m white, male, and disabled and not feeling terribly included either.

You forgot women. None of us are fit to vote, of course. But yeah, we’re smug assholes who just want to live our lives and not be treated as second class citizens. Clearly we’re a bunch of assholes for wanting that. Clearly. Those white, straight, christian men told us, didn’t they.

I think a lot of people that, for whatever reason, feel like they’re “other” are feeling pretty scared right now.
Myself included.

Yeah, after a life cozying up to the likes of Goldman Sachs, that’s very credible.
She could have cured the sick and made wine out of water, and it would not have mattered. She was just the wrong candidate.

In other news, Feingold, a progressive and populist candidate running for Senate with a super solid record, lost by a large margin. So I’m sure Bernie would have done just fine.

Well, you seem to have at least some empathy for those of us who don’t look like you… that’s probably why.

You know, if you claim you voted for Kodos, then yes, I am blaming you. You fucked the country up, kid.
