It's clear people have not fully considered the con job that has been pulled on them

I still hear people repeating GOP propaganda that Hillary is a corporatist, beholden to Wall Street and therefore unfit to be President. That is supposed to explain her loss, even as Trump has appointed circa five billionaires to his cabinet and is preparing to privatize Medicare, Social Security, and undo regulation of finance, the environment and business in general. Yet somehow watching this doesn't cause people to reflect on their knee-jerk use of buzzwords that show an astounding lack of awareness of what we face under the Trump administration.

That rhetoric about Hillary's as beholden to Wall Street was created by the GOP, planted by them and their allies in the Kremlin in order to enable Republicans to seize control of the presidency and give away ****ing everything to the obscenely rich. And that is exactly what Trump is embarking on now, as is evident from his cabinet appointments. Yet the same people keep parroting ahistorical talking points about the Democratic Party and Hillary in particular selling out, corporatism, blah, blah, blah.

You all got played, and badly. And what's worse is that you haven't figured it out. You got rid of the evil "corporatist" Democrats and circulated and continue to repeat propaganda that enables the GOP to open the federal treasury directly to pilfering by the richest men in the nation as they prepare to give away to Wall Street trillions Americans have contributed to SS and Medicare throughout their lives. The knee-jerk repeating of GOP propaganda continues to be entirely devoid of any relation to policy. It did not matter what Clinton actually voted or or proposed as policy. What mattered is that you decided she was a "corporatist." You even bought into the con job that Trump won based on his self-professed concern for the working class. It is obvious that his focus during his presidency will be further enriching himself and those like him, as has been his practice his entire life. He has never done anything but screw over ordinary people.

So many it's time to stop aping the buzz words that helped get him elected? Maybe it's time to focus on what politicians actually do rather than what people say about them? Maybe it's time to reflect on how you play into the hands of the powerful by doing their rhetorical bidding? Because if anyone still thinks there is any equivalency between Clinton and Trump, you're too ****ing stupid to contribute to our party or this society.

   Hillary lost. Move on, BB.

Oh well. live and learn; I'll know not to question the wisdom of centrist democrats in the future.

2. I suppose next time we should pick the candidate that lost the primary? And disenfranchise millions?

By rigging the entire Dem primary Hillary and the DNC disenfranchised millions you voted for crazy Uncle Bernie...

6. Exactly!

Disenfranchisement is the key. Is there any wonder there is so much resentment toward the ONE candidate who proposed automatic voters registration at age 18? But I'm an evil centrist because I don't care more about empty buzzwords designed to promote the GOP than actual policy or accomplishments.

you use them in every post you make, dear.

3. I looked at her history. Her voting record, what she actually did. Many made a point of ignoring all that, which your comments indicate you are still doing. So by all means, remain attached to the labels that you care so much more about than policy or accomplishments. Who cares what actually happens to America anyway?

5. Trump is the *ultimate* elitist and the *ultimate* corporatist. He's a fricking BRAND, for heaven's sake. His entire existence is defined by his corporate identity. It's been his entire life for decades. The level of delusion required to think the guy's a populist who's going to fight for the "little guy" just blows my mind. And the fact that some alleged liberals, progressives, and Democrats could buy into it is depressing in the extreme. On the other hand, those who said they wouldn't vote for Hillary because Goldman Sachs was going to be running the country should be happy now that one of their execs will, indeed, be helping run the country.

12. It was a silent coup, right before our eyes, with Russian help and assists from the FBI and Assange

Wasn't it Sinclair Lewis who said fascism would be voted in in America?

No revolution or overthrow of government needed, just a complicit media and useful idiots who responded to the right wing dog whistles with their votes.

Oh- we are gonna hear this bullshit for the next 8 years... At least DU can claim to be a 'true underground' again.

Ah, we are indeed.  This schadenboner is never going to go away.

I'm glad Frank has such a well educated Phdd as a girlfriend.

Speaking of being conned, I wonder if any of them donated to Jill Stein's nonrefundable recount scam.

Not only did the hag spend most of the last 4 years hobnobbing with fat cats she spent all of August doing the same after securing the nomination.
Sorry scrunt,people are not as stupid as you are.

[FunkyZero]

Wow, they still don't get it.
Hundreds of threads on post-mortem, and there are the same amount of theories.

READ THIS DUMMIES: It did not matter who you ran. We would have voted for PolPot just to strip you of power. Well, maybe not Pol Pot, but you get the idea. The damage you have done to our economy, our face on the world's stage and respectable social norms COMBINED is what killed your candidates. I realize simple brains want a simple answer, but few things are as black and white as you claim. It's all grey.
The United States of America is NOT the planets welfare bucket. We flat out REJECT socialism. We REJECT multiculturalism because we actually recognize that some ideologies are in direct conflict with our way of life. We are a poorer nation because of you. Our security overall is weak because of you. Our cultures and way of life at at risk because of you. Why don't you take a show of hands on the DUmp and see just how many of your treasured members are on SSI... and how many of they could actually WORK if they really wanted to. SICK OF IT.
The great experiment was severely damaged due to your insufferable ideologies. You have all but destroyed the unquestionable success of capitalism by stripping it of it's motivating qualities. Companies are leaving because they are tired of losing by subsidizing your bullshit... and the rest of us are sick of subsidizing your protected groups... when you vote with your hand in our wallets, we take serious offense.
People want to work and succeed. You've made that ideal less probably with every year you were in power. You take from our families in favor of yours, things you have no claim to, and we are damn sick of you calling everyone who doesn't agree with you, filthy names. We are sick and tired of arguing about gay wedding cakes and pretending islam isn't a problem for us. SICK of it.
Do you get it? It wouldn't have mattered who you ran. We reject your IDEOLOGY, with prejudice.

But they are still against voter ID and purging the registration lists of dead or ineligible voters. It would give them a bigger pool of potential fraudulent votes to tip any close elections in their favor.

Are we going to be treated to a 4-year Egyptian-River Swim Party on DU? Should be very ing.

That was a SANDERS' talking point. 

The GOP just pointed out that hiLIARy was an unqualified carpet-bagging senator whose only calling card was she was a serial rapists' wife.  She then went on to be the worst SOS in history and was actively involved in getting 4 great Americans killed through her incompetence who set up an illegal and insecure server that exposed the USA to its enemies.  Those and the so-called "charitable foundation" which took in PLENTY of pay for play cash but never actually DID any charitable works.

And that she lied all along the way.

So make sure you have the right entity pointing out her innumerable flaws.

[freedumb2003b]

Wasn't it Sinclair Lewis who said fascism would be voted in in America?

It happened in 2008 and was reaffirmed in 2012.

Thank God in 2016 we saw it for what it is and renounced it.

3. I looked at her history. Her voting record, what she actually did.

All of Cankle's accomplishments inn the senate will take about 10 second to read.

Now all of the crime, corruption, and traitorous activities would take a decade.

Actually, I thinka good many have. Mo-Mo, OTOH, seems not to have "considered" Captain Hopey-Changey's "con job" that she bought.
