And FYI? Voting for a racist asshole makes you a racist asshole. Even if you lost yr job.

70. I can argue that voting for an openly racist prick says something about that voters views on race

That they are DEPLORABLE. We as a party lost those people long ago, by supporting equality. Pander to them and lose us. Makes no sense to run after a group of people who did not vote for you and lose the groups that did in the process. If his rhetoric 'won' them? They are unreachable. I have too much pride to beg votes from people who have no probs voting for a guy who wants to deport millions of muslims, or build a wall, or calls mexicans rapists and blacks lazy and has crazy jewish conspiract theorists working for him as advisors. And I tell you true that ignoring that shit and actually voting in favor of it makes a mf a straught up racist.

They have lost the popular vote everytine they won the presidency in the past two decades. Small states are given too much weight and we know that. We can win in the midterms but not by throwing our voters under the bus in order to get voters who want walls between us and mexico and wants muslims deported. See, to get their votes, you have to give up mine and millions if others. Because they RESPONDED TO THE RACISM positively. They liked it. You would need to learn to dogwhistle real real hard to get them.

Hillary won the working class. Trump won the racist/sexist/antisemite/islamaphobe vote. It was never about jobs. The ones voting for jobs voted dem.
