I can totally say enough votes otherwise or stayed home. Which is what I said. Enough to keep her out of the White House according to the rules of who wins the White House.

not that the google dude needs talking about either, as it's already been solved and analyzed. Nothing to discuss? Not even getting into the race issue, this is the largest rally of white supremacist in 30 years, for Virginia. This is on a campus with 17-23 year old students standing against them. This was a precursor to today's planned rally, where 2k-6k racist members could show up today. To protest the removal of a statue. The police haven't moved and inch. The mayor hasn't said a word. But you're right. Moving on. Let's get back to google dude. “This isn’t how he should have to grow up,” she said.
Cliff Erickson leaned against a fence and took in the scene. He said he thinks removing the statue amounts to erasing history and said the “counterprotesters are crazier than the alt-right.”
“Both sides are hoping for a confrontation,” he said. From the AP story You're making this a race issue, and you're ignoring other sides that wouldn't want the statue removed. You live there or something? Seriously. It's like your straining to make stories fit your narrative and hope nobody sees you shoehorning one into the other. Bruh, "the history" they are worried about being erased is exactly the part of history folks at that protest and folks like yourself usually suggest we "get over", "It was long ago, why do you think it impacts you today", and other equally stupid things. I know you aren't dumb enough to think that this about making a town ahistorical because they take down statues of terrible people in history. Meanwhile no problem with the efforts to whitewash and sanitize US history of the evil and terrible things that the very people they are trying to memorialize actually did. You funny.
Not relavent to post. He chose 2k-6k racist members. That's way the fuck overly broad description for the opposition.

There were like 200 in hoods and tiki torches. Try harder next time if you want to conflate everything. And if you want to just call people you don't like racists before launching into your manifestos on how protests should be run, talk to someone that's debating alternate solutions.

You can't make the argument that Hillary didn't get enough votes and Trump did when Hillary got more votes than Trump. Clearly it wasn't decided by who got more votes. Not enough votes was not Hillary's issue. If you'd said that the problem was that her votes were too clustered we wouldn't be arguing here.

I can't find the source where I read the number. But note the word could. I never said there were that many people. But continue to use the numbers I threw out there to disqualify any discussion on a topic you don't feel comfortable having at this time, Furthermore, continue to put words in my mouth that I never said, while trying to justify the behavior being shown last night and today as acceptable. Also, while you're at it, please link this to google dude and his manifesto of biological difference in the way men and women operate in relation to STEM fields. If you wish to continue, feel free to PM me and we can talk there. Now, if you will.
Everything about today just rings hollow to anyone saying that Hillary would have been worse than trump. He's essentially said it was okay to be a bigot, misogynist, and stupid to this country. The people who believe in him and his words have come out. Granted, this has always been under the surface in this country, which I've experienced firsthand. But to have people cheering and goading individuals to exact bodily harm on someone because they do not agree with you viewpoint is disgusting.

Goes without saying, or is there actually any doubt about that?

hey wtf
is there a hurdle below which racists and fucking KKK people are acceptable?
|
And the Nazis know and love that he won't call it out.

According to some people, yes. White, male, and American gives you a "get out of jail free card." Regardless of how bigoted or misogynistic you are. (in relation to today and yesterday's news).

I also love how it's acceptable to name a publication after the NSDAP party "newspaper". Almost a literal copy.

At this point, Trump might as well offer the perpetrator the communications director position to "heal the divide". A disgusting attack and a deplorable response.

If you want to quibble about what it means to say "enough voters stayed home," you're welcome to troll on and on. The election comes down to a number of swing states and this time around it changed which were in play. If your favorite team showed up to a tournament and wanted to play by the rules of a round robin instead of single elimination, don't whine that the opponents didn't win enough games. Pathetic.

Hitler really isn't that big a deal in the US where hatespeech is no big deal, except after it showed the consequences.

A rally announced by white nationalists, and you argue that the majority wasn't racist? There's people running around with hitler quotes on their T-shirts, am i missing something here?

You're not understanding my point at all. I know Hillary lost because she lost the electoral college. I'm aware of this. What I object to is you attempting to insist that she lost because not enough people voted for her. Reread what I'm saying and stop arguing against an opponent of your own construction.

I don't see what there is to talk about there. what's there to say/discuss/assess?
not that the google dude needs talking about either, as it's already been solved and analyzed. Nothing to discuss? Not even getting into the race issue, this is the largest rally of white supremacist in 30 years, for Virginia. This is on a campus with 17-23 year old students standing against them. This was a precursor to today's planned rally, where 2k-6k racist members could show up today. To protest the removal of a statue. The police haven't moved and inch. The mayor hasn't said a word. But you're right. Moving on. Let's get back to google dude. “This isn’t how he should have to grow up,” she said.
Cliff Erickson leaned against a fence and took in the scene. He said he thinks removing the statue amounts to erasing history and said the “counterprotesters are crazier than the alt-right.”
“Both sides are hoping for a confrontation,” he said. From the AP story You're making this a race issue, and you're ignoring other sides that wouldn't want the statue removed. You live there or something? Seriously. It's like your straining to make stories fit your narrative and hope nobody sees you shoehorning one into the other. How am I making this a race issue? It's clearly known that white supremacist are the ones marching to keep the statue. If a moderate wants the statue to stay, or even a black person for whatever reason, they'll protest peacefully and without trying to entice others to start something against them. Don't try to turn this into something I'm not even remotely talking about. BLM is the same thing. If they go protesting and enticing violence, then I would condemn them as well. There are peaceful ways to go about, alternative solutions to endeavor to find. MARCHING AROUND WITH TORCHES IN WHITE FUCKING HOODS, PROUDLY PROCLAIMING WHITE SUPREMACY IS NOT THE WAY TO GO ABOUT IT. Don't be stupid Danglars. I know you're smarter than that. There were like 200 in hoods and tiki torches. Try harder next time if you want to conflate everything. And if you want to just call people you don't like racists before launching into your manifestos on how protests should be run, talk to someone that's debating alternate solutions. I can't find the source where I read the number. But note the word could. I never said there were that many people. But continue to use the numbers I threw out there to disqualify any discussion on a topic you don't feel comfortable having at this time, Furthermore, continue to put words in my mouth that I never said, while trying to justify the behavior being shown last night and today as acceptable. Also, while you're at it, please link this to google dude and his manifesto of biological difference in the way men and women operate in relation to STEM fields. If you wish to continue, feel free to PM me and we can talk there. Now, if you will. Everything about today just rings hollow to anyone saying that Hillary would have been worse than trump. He's essentially said it was okay to be a bigot, misogynist, and stupid to this country. The people who believe in him and his words have come out. Granted, this has always been under the surface in this country, which I've experienced firsthand. But to have people cheering and goading individuals to exact bodily harm on someone because they do not agree with you viewpoint is disgusting.
I guess it would matter if you find your source in the future. As it stands, my quoted AP source had street interviews showing
gasp
an example of somebody that thought (1) it was erasing history (2) counterprotesters are crazier than the alt-right and (3) Both sides are hoping for a confrontation. Which didn't merit a comment from your thousands of racists narrative. I might as well claim the overwhelming majority were actually concerned pacifists from Greenpeace for the standards we're at.
EDIT: Actually one bit on the second part that I've discussed in other posts but not the one you quoted. She's essentially said it's okay to pay to play if you're a donor to her family foundation, and it's okay to break the law if you didn't intend to use the lawbreaking to help foreign powers. If you want to say she'd have less chaos along with bad foreign policy, I'd agree with you.
