    • Consequences of those votes become evident
    • How could the Democrats do this?

      Keep calling them idiots. Maybe that’ll show them. Or maybe you’ll get the same results again and again by being elitist.

        We’ll get the same results because people, on the whole, are stupid and/or racist.

        “You should stop saying that! You’ll upset stupid and racist people!”

        I will? Fucking good. Decent people have spent far too long tiptoeing around, trying to avoid offending idiots and racists. It’s time to call that shit out where it stands.

          You can’t teach upset people to be smart and tolerant. The only thing you can teach upset people is to listen to their feelings. And feelings are idiotic if not properly trained.

          The only thing that’s separating us from humans 10,000 years ago is society and education. And each of those need to be taught to everyone for best results, or most people for an okay world like ours.

          If most people indeed are racist and stupid (I like the “or” part implying racist people aren’t stupid), and there is nothing to be done, then why are you angry? Just be racist and stupid against other racist stupids. Bash in some heads. Get your head bashed in in revenge. Worked for literal millennia. It’s stupid, but well, there always were more people.

          I like the notion that people can be taught way better.
