Directly because I have read your posts prior to the election results (not so good in my opinion) and have now read them after the election results (even worse in my opinion), I wanted to try to offer you a reply that might help (I really mean that - I am not jabbing you)

this idea that Democrats need to do some sole searching is damned dumbass BS.
Try to put aside all the dumb/stupid/idiots for just a moment (you can always go back there) and spend a few moments concentrating on your political preferences and the party that represents them.

Think of the election like an NFL game: If your team were to lose by the final score of 58 to 3, what, if anything, should the losing team (and/or you) do after the game is over? Should they/you spend their time and effort calling the other team players names? Should they/you point fingers at the people in the stands? Should they/you attempt to paint their QB as a complete loser who can't throw the ball 10 feet (after he just threw for 6 TD's and over 400 yards?) No, that would be foolish.

The wise thing to do would be to concentrate on your team - the team that just lost the game 58 to 3. You ought to be looking at your QB, your coaching staff, your GM, your play calling, your pregame strategy. You need to be spending a significant amount of time and effort watching game film to try to understand why your team just got trounced.

Then, you need to do the most important thing: You need to make adjustments - Maybe get new players - Perhaps fire a coach or two - come up with a different strategy. Call different plays. Why? Because if you don't, and if you take the exact same product - with the exact same strategy - with the same players - calling the same plays, and put them on the playing field again, you will get very similar results.

Lastly, as it relates to your comments about Democrats needing to do some soul searching (not "sole" as you wrote), I would suggest that it is not "damned dumbass BS", rather, such an exercise would be really smart, potentially beneficial, and perhaps exactly what is needed in order to attract more American citizens to the party.

Just a thought.

Valid analogy CB. I'm confident though that there will be a Hillary 3.0 in our near future. by the way, Hillary 3.0 is not intended to be a sexist trope. It is a - having a disliked candidate picked for us - trope.

“F” I hate people right now.
The only thing surprising is that you appear to be surprised. It's like you're just barely finding all this out about people for the first time.
I am finding out that people are just as stupid as I suspected they were in 2016, despite me trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. The fact that so many people double and tripled down on Trump makes it impossible for me to ignore anymore.

At what point did you imagine I was interested in any of your addled thoughts? You are one of the primary morons in the country. You are representative of morons everywhere of this country.

If I had to pick a single point - I would probably pick the point where your board posting went from an intolerant ideological board bully who frequently calls people that you don't know any number of derogatory names (pre-election) to what I see now (post-election) a grown man kicking and screaming like a spoiled child as you put your fingers in your ears and refuse to listen to people who are willing to offer you wisdom (Like me).

See what I mean?

You wouldn't know wisdom if it slapped you across the face. You have nothing to offer except idiot thoughts.

I said I didn't vote for a convicted rapist and a Trump supporter quickly corrected me "No! he wasn't convicted of rape!" No, he was 'just' found liable for "sexually abusing and defaming" a woman. As though that is so much better than saying 'convicted rapist'.
This is the kind of excuse that makes it impossible not to think Trump voters are stupid.

First of all, to your point, the difference between sexual assault and full on rape (which, let's face it, is probably what happened) is inconsequential when you're trying to determine if a person should lead the free world.

But more importantly, it shows the lengths people will go to delude themselves and rationalize their idiotic vote.
Yes, exactly. In what setting would a person ever make that distinction? Only when they voted for the convicted felon. What a bizarre justification they make.

This is a serious question, ceeboo: if someone repetitively crashed their car, would you seek driving advice from them?

I stand in amazement what people will do to protect themselves from acknowledging reality.
