US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

[balbec]

Are there many deplorables living on your street?

They are all decent people mate, like most people.

There really is no margin big enough that Clinton can win this by.

US elections are a vote between two fundamentally competing world views - one a depressingly unimaginative one, but essentially based on reality - the other a bizarre, backward, cult-like belief in which conspiracy theories are believed unquestioningly and race is still the central defining factor. It belongs to some time around 1900.

There is far too much false balance in the coverage of US politics. The Republican party as it has been for over 50 years now cannot fuck off and die quick enough and with any luck tonight will be a humiliation for it and that sort of backward worldview. They are a disgusting shower of racist reprobates who make the DUP look like the Amnesty International.

As Michael Moore wrote last week, Trump deserves to be treated in the same sort of way you’d treat a paedophile.

That’s some rant.

Trump pulls ahead in PA

CNN calls Iowa for the Donald

That’s a rant that would do justice to Jim Allister or the likes.

Ethnic minorities don’t count as real people in the eyes of people like you.

Should we expect you to keep your word and retire your account ?

Not all Trump supporters are racists. All racists are Trump supporters.

Oh look at ickle Sidney, now trotting out the racist line. He doesn’t give a shit about southern “rednecks” or jobless, formerly skilled manufacturers in the rust belt as it isn’t cool in Hollywood to talk about these people being trod on.

You have been schooled by people who are actually American or take an effort to take a look outside the bubble.

[Sidney]

It’s a serious point, mate, clearly you’re offended by it.

Like all the anti-PC warriors, you take offence at the least thing.

The run to the centre won’t save Trump. People are mistaking his appeal to the nutters who vote in Republican primaries with his appeal to America at large. Clinton could well be beaten by centrist GOP candidate, no one likes her. But she won’t lose to a loud mouth spoofer like Trump.

@Sidney gave his word that he would retire his account.

Can we expect him to do the honourable thing and retire his account ?

As is mine, if someone said the same things that are regularly trotted out about tens of millions of ordinary Americans then there would be uproar (“rednecks”, “dumb bible thumpers” ect). As it isn’t cool in Hollywood (yet), there is no reaction. When Hollywood tells you to react, you will.

[Sidney]

Not my fault you didn’t have the courage of your convictions to take me up on the offer, pal.

You could have been a contender, but couldn’t walk the walk.

I’ve said it before, Europeans don’t understand Americans and have a tendency to see things through a Democrat lens when they try to. Especially in Ireland where RTE is like the broadcasting wing of the Democrat party and is especially well disposed to the Clinton wing of the Democrat party. Niall O’Dowd who is a fully paid up Clinton cheerleader is probably the voice that’s heard the most on Irish media analysing American politics.

I remember 1980 well when people on this side of the Atlantic didn’t believe for a second that America would elect a dangerous demagogue like Reagan and they expected against all available evidence that Carter would win out inthe end, even when it was obvious that it was going to be a Reagan landslide.

Fagan smashed it early as well. Listen to the old sage Sidney et al.

[anon7035031]

There are far more racists who vote democrat mate. Wouldn’t expect you to understand that.

[Sidney]

Do you entirely speak in cliches or do you have a vocabulary outside of that?

Maybe you’re watching too much Hollywood.

[maroonandwhite]

Ah bro, i dont like trump but i have shown an in depth understanding of the American mindset.
