I will bathe in KUSA's tears on Election Night.

I'm not there. I don't wish misery on anybody else but I do want to win. I'm looking at the Republicans stupidly rejecting Garland for SCOTUS, Hillary replacing him with a young, true progressive and doing likewise if Ginsberg and Breyer sensibly retire during her first term. It means winning the Culture War. No more realistic possibility of overturning Roe vs. Wade, no more church-state separation challenges, no more LGBT rights challenges. True social progress for decades which will not be walked back.

I also have hopes the Republican party will then reform to a party of common sense and give us two viable parties in America.

Oh, I don't wish misery upon our esteemed forum-member, but after this last month of his douchebaggery, I will certainly not complain when the American electorate visits it upon him. I'm sure that some Ketel One and a little donkey porn will cure his post-election angst in no time flat.

What, about 2 dozen black plane jockeys?  The Confedearte Army was more integrated.

Here's what you originally said:

You are obviously wrong.

Also, the 761st Tank Battalion hasn't been mentioned yet.

No one is saying that the US Army was integrated in WWII. What is being said is that you are factually incorrect in your quoted assertion. America obviously did let black soldiers kill white NaZis. Your incorrect claim is simply a poorly-veiled attempt at moral equivalence in order to assuage your unease over being a fanboi of National Socialism.

You're not getting off that easy, Woggie.

I don't think so, unless Trump's loss inspires in me tears of joy.

Just think ... he's got seven more months to run his mouth. Do you honestly think he can avoid alienating any more groups of voters?

No matter your angst over the issue, white males don't call the tune any more. When Trump's loss finally brings that fact home to you, I will be happy to offer you Kleenexes and Snicker-doodles for your little baby soul. Just make sure your tears land in the tub. I plan on going mudding that day.

Bullshit..... I am really tired of this bullshit of making politics about personalities when we all know that 1 person is not the dictator of our 3 branch system of checks and balances and oversight.

Trump is nothing but a bullshit artist. But to claim Hillary is a problem too, no. This mess was started by Reagan long before Hillary held any office. The only thing our politicians can be blamed for is being too compromising trying to defend themselves from the cold war bulllshit slurs the GOP has successfully painted the left as for the past 40 years.

Our ideas as progressives are solid, our tactics in politics suck. We do value the private sector. We do value women's rights over their bodies, and equal pay. We do value livable wages. We do value affordable health care. We do value cheaper or free higher education. The right wing has fought all those things the entire time, and democrats instead of pushing back, have allowed republicans to control the narrative which has caused our side to stupidly try to prove we aren't Stalin's communism. Hillary is a hostage, not a perp. Obama has unfortunately compromised as well, because he is dealing with a bratty obstructionist right.

Our party has been like a weak parent at the check out isle when the fucking brats scream for candy, we stupidly give it to them in hopes they will shut the fuck up. 

No, sad is the rich and the religious right thinking they have sole rights to be the one group in control. Sad is their not giving a fuck about how the pay gap is killing us and using religion to divide workers on social issues. No, sorry we followed the right, became their doormat and that shit is going to stop.

ONLY ONE party and one class is to blame. Nope, we had deregulation for 40 years, we had "don't tax the rich" and and 20 years of Fucks News needlessly scaring the shit out of gullible morons. Nope, that shit isn't going to sell anymore.

There's only so much Schadenfreude I can muster when the disaster has the potential to strike all of us on a global level. America being driven into the shitter pretty much does the whole global economy in. It did so in 1929, in 2008 and it would happen again.

Even if they put social issues aside trickle up economics isn't working anymore. If they have any long term hopes they need to ditch all the old white party, and become the progressive Teddy Roosevelt party. I doubt they will do that at all considering the totality of the majority they have in there right now, those morons didn't learn anything from the past 8 years.
