My Mood: ![]() SL Join Date: 2007 | The whining about how the DNC abandoned white people is beyond me, and the "poor me" whining in this thread by white people is pissing me right off. Between the two parties, they are the ONLY ones who want to help poor and working class people of any stripe. Yes, if you voted for Trump, you are beyond stupid, and probably vile as well. There, I said it. I don't give a shit how much college you had, you got taken in by a lying con, all because you don't want to share and play nicely with other poor and working class people (aka anyone who isn't white, and let's add women in there too, as that played a huge part in this goddamn election). |

Yeah. You were heard and you can now take pride in that, if that's how you roll. Good for you. Hope it works out the way you expect and hope for.

Jesus is coming. Look busy!
| It's not too complicated. If you voted for a slate of candidates who quite openly advocated belligerent, racist, sexist, homophobic, toxic policies then you want America's policies to be belligerent, racist, sexist, homophobic, and toxic. It doesn't matter what your sexual orientation is, what race you are, what races your friends are, or what your (or their) gender identification might be. It doesn't even matter if you are, generally, a Really Nice Guy. Voting for those policies means you are ............. well, since you've been to college and all, I'm sure you can connect the dots. |

Now the Democrats have a better plan to make more poor people financially secure, they just have not figured out how to convey that message.

| I'd be surprised if Nebula even replies. His modus operandi seems to be to seek out the thread filled with people wondering how the fuck Trump was elected, come out with a bunch of random shite, then cry victim and flounce when people ask him why he voted for Trump. Example: see the Election Night thread. I'm not sure if it's some sort of bored attempt at a troll or if he really is that dim. Since he voted for Trump I'll assume a bit of both.

Everything you said about the working class in this post and in posts before and after is true, but people of color are still at a disadvantage (not a legal one, but one that exists nonetheless) simply because they ARE "people of color'. That really can't be successfully denied. Racism still runs deep in this country and this country was originally settled by European Caucasians. People like that are deemed 'eligible' by default. Everyone else has to prove themselves. That's racism. We fight it tooth and nail and with each generation it gets hammered down more. But it is still there. | |

So - after mocking the concept of white privilege as something magical because you don't want to consider it, and thought it relevant enough to begin your post - you still end it trying to convince us that race was not an issue. You probably displayed a deplorable moniker proudly. Why should it bother you now? | ||

Hail Woz, the great and
powerful!
| People are generally idiots. The only time you should lodge a protest vote is if your state is so solidly one color or the other that you would bet your life of the local results without a hint of hesitation. If you live somewhere at all purple treat your vote as if it was the sole deciding ballot in your state/county/district. Decide where your vote will do the most good, even if you have to hold your nose to do it. Do not like it? Move somewhere where the vote is so lopsided it does not matter who you vote for or even if you vote.

BLM, by the way, IS about color and race. There's reasons for that. You know...like THIS https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/...-balch-springs but that would be for a different thread. | |

People, please, please make sure you dot all the i's and cross all the t's when it comes to leaving your affairs in order for when it's your time to go. Don't put your loved ones through the crap I'm having to go through, having to fight to get what is rightfully and legally mine because the companies* involved want to keep my money. And if you buy a life insurance policy for your spouse (you are policy owner but policy covers spouse, not you) please make damn sure your beneficiaries know that, so it can be addressed before a decade passes. It does make a difference in how it is handled when a beneficiary files a death disbursement claim. Also make damn sure any capital stock is included in the estate. Believe me, you do not want your loved ones to have to deal with reopening an estate and getting the actual successors named legally through the court. *MetLife and Computershare | |

Too drive to drink
| Most of the time I don't respond because it gets jumped on and derails people's conversation. I'm not trying to troll and I don't even care about hate being flung at me. You get used to that I'm life as it is. No I responded to this thread simply because I have a difference of opinion. Apprently that makes me dim, racist, and uneducated. Look people, I'm not gonna be rude, I'm not gonna yell, I will just choose to disagree. If hillary had won I'd have been chill with it. But I'm Goin back to silently lurking and reading most of the political discussions here. Also let it be known I don't always agree with Trump. I didn't vote for Obama, but I was pleased with some of the things he did. I'm sure you can all agree to be angry next year when I agree with x or y political view.
