Good ol Gemma, always there, for the rest of our days, fighting for all our souls
Whoâs that with Dennis?
The thing I donât understand was why is Trump viewed as such a danger and Clinton viewed as a much better alternative.
Itâs probably like choosing between Richard Keys or Kay Burley for the PM job in the UK, at least Keys has a bit of banter about him.

Plenty of bedwetters here are suckers for that line of thinking.
Theyâll be on later getting all offended about it.
Thus place is full of Trump supporters. Lads that are used to their privileged position as a âstraight white maleâ and canât get their heads around equality.
They wonât be as offended as you are right now.

They must be the silent majority then, as there have only been a few on here that even try and understand why people might have voted Trump.
Ireland has become a nation of wussy PC imbeciles. This place is like an oasis in a desert, in that there are at least a few rational voices.

She wouldnât have represented a progressive victory for feminists in any event. She was campaigning from a position of entitlement, with a serious power base. Clinton winning wouldnât have told us a woman can elected to the White House. It would have said that a woman whose husband has previously been President and who has spent her life in the top echelons of power (partly as a result of her husbandâs achievements) can elected. Thatâs not progress.

Correct. 55% of women voters backed Obama in 2012, fell to 54% in 2016 for Clinton. A staggering statistic for the first female nominee, she couldnât even attract females. In addition, she got 65% of the Latino vote compared to 71% for Obama, 54% of the young vote compared to 60% for Obama, and 53% of the earning less then $50K vote compared to 60% for Obama (so much for the Democrats being the party of the lower income).
All the groups that were insulted by Trump voted for her in smaller % than Obama, and Trumpâs vote held up for all those groups or expanded.
But of course the race was all about sexism, racism, and rich white people oppressing poor minorities.

Thatâs complete horseshit.
Latinos and African Americans are some of the most religious people in the US and naturally, would be wary of same sex marriage and transgender stuff going so mainstream. This is baseline ignorance of real Americans.
Your bullshit line above is typical of the metropolitan elite who think they know everything. Itâs easy to brow beat on white âred necksâ, evangelicals and any of the other assorted non cool demos out there these days. You canât possibly imagine that blacks or Latinos might have non PC views, easy to attack the patriarchy.
Thereâs a reason why Trump won 29% of Asians and Latinos, along with increasing his share of African Americans (from an admirably low base). Liberals these days are a whiny bunch who use buzzwords like âpost factual societyâ but wonât engage in fact based discussions if it might offend somebody (Islam is totally a religion of peace).
