Have you seen this video of Hillary supporters beating up an older Trump voter, then stealing his car after dragging him along for a bit?
No, probably not, it wouldn't be featured in the media you read.

Probably NSFW.

This is the kind of post that makes me think I won't have much interest posting under a Trump thread. It proudly doesn't make any sense.

Well we couldn't risk nominating Bernie, we have to go with a the candidate who has a better chance of winning this election.
I would also like to hear more about how he wasn't enough of a friend to the establishment so it is justified for the DNC to conspire against him. The coalition he built though, I divide them into three main camps, the deplorables, the hurting blue collar workers, and the brick throwers who are very angry. Bernie shreds two of those pillars of his support. He even had the audacity to suggest a 50 state strategy, not the 7 state strategy Hillary's campaign ran.
I know this much: he seems unlikely to be under FBI investigation, and he has a devotion to principles that even hardcore Republicans can respect. And his Republican challenger would have been the least liked candidate in history. In a lot of people, he would not inspire confidence, but he would provide a choice that wouldn't make people feel viscerally sick about voting for. Where he was weak (with independents), Hillary was even weaker. Where he was strong (Democrats who called themselves independents), Hillary was not. I know enough people who were Bernie > Trump > Hillary, who liked none of the candidates, who really epitomize how the Hillary coalition really just tossed everything aside for the one-track goal of electing a nominee less popular than anyone who preceded her.

If only controversy was equatable to interesting you would be in for a lovely 4 years.
It's gonna be hard for America to unite under a guy a lot of people really despise as a person and simply don't respect, regardless of his stature. It's gonna be a real shitshow, as if we hadn't had enough of it already.

Probably because we've seen so many videos like that posted here that turned out to be acted or have nothing to do with the presumed context. In this particular case, even the person tweeting it doesn't claim it has anything to do with the election (only that it had a joke caption), could be a video from years ago.
Some skepticism would surely help you instead of jumping straight to assuming it's a huge media conspiracy to not feature these super legitimate social media posts.
edit: searched more about it and found one with the original sound instead of that music and they are indeed talking about Trump in the video

I realised too late that I uploaded the longer version which doesn't have the ppl shouting about Trump.
Here's a shorter version with audio, indulge yourself.

Heh, depends how you view things.
Put it this way - now he is free from his current position Trump could make him a member of his cabinet.

So, I'm not sure if it's reached this thread (I skimmed through a lot of pages), but here's a twit that includes Bernie's full statement on the Trump victory.
http://twitter.com/gdebenedetti/status/796495549134438400/
I suppose it's a pretty good commentary. A little loaded in its identity politics statement but he qualifies it enough that I don't think he's going to piss anyone off.

".. of billionaires not paying federal income taxes.. - all while the rich become much richer."
Isn't Trump proposing specifically tax cuts for the rich?

Is it true that Clinton got 300k more votes, but lost because of the system?
Maybe you should adress this. Last time the guy with lesser votes started war in Afghanistan, Irak, Lybia and enabled Isis rise to Power...

Trump supplants Reagan as the oldest elected President. By age 72 less than 3 years into Reagan's 1st term he was showing signs of decreased mental capacity; the running joke was that Nancy was running the country.
How long will Trump last? who will take over as the de facto Prez when he starts to decline?( if the decline has not already begun)
a key factor in decreased mental capacity due to aging is height and Trump is 6'2". the taller u r the higher the probability you'll lose your marbles as you age.

Yes, good commentary, right on the nose. To bad all the middle class people who actually voted Trump didn't realize Trump is the very personification of the rich becoming richer that they are so railing against. They got suckered hard.

This would've happened regardless of who would've won. Clinton was despised by half of the population as well.

This is useless speculation. Waren buffet is running Berkshire Hathaway while he's 86. Every individual is different and we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Its like all the 'Clinton isn't healthy enough due to her age' bullshit which flew around.

I kind of wish I hadn't seen that.... Assuming it's real and not some 'hilarious' youtube retards idea of how to make a living, that's fucking disgusting.

I like what he does to lobbyists and congress limits (end of career politicians), though stuff like the wall and UN climate stuff is less good
coal and pipelines suck

I'm seeing a huge number of people on social media angry with Trump and "racist" white people that voted him in.
What I'm not seeing so much of is democratic supporters giving the DNC a grill over their shocking treatment of Sanders.The primaries were rigged against Sanders, who was destroying Trump in all the polls.
How about instead of protesting against Trump protest against the corrupt DNC and try to get some real change in that organisation.Then you've got a chance of getting a good candidate instead of an establishment shill like Clinton and with a decent chance of Trump being impeached in his first term the outlook could be good.
Personally i still think too many people are uninformed and just get their news from mainstream outlets who are completely discredited to anyone who is awake to the game.
Sites like HuffPo are hyperbolic right now, channel that anger toward positive change in your own party instead of this negativity.

Clinton also destroyed Trump in the polls. Every Sanders-fanboy who has taken this election to vote Trump or even third party as some sort of big fuck you to the establishment has blood on their hands. Trump is going to destroy lives and it's as much their fault as it is of racist white people.

Well done proving his point lol.
The DNC is to blame, not Sanders supporters, and certainly not "racist white people".
|
I mean if someone preferred Hillary to Trump but wasted their vote on a third party, they kind of are to blame. So is everyone who stayed home because they assumed there was no way she could lose. So is the DNC.
That's the thing about blame. There's no reason it has to be restricted to a single one person or entity.
Any number of decisions or events could have changed the outcome. None of them happened, and a lot of people screwed up to make it so.
