more important issues are on the table right now and the election results reflected that.
There is no "white women voted". There are individual people who vote in Congressional districts, Municipalities, Counties, and States.

There is no "minority woman". We are all minorities. We are all individual people who vote in Congressional districts, Municipalities, Counties, and States.


Not only this election, but in every single election, which is every TWO years, which is everyday, there indeed are more important issues than an elite who want to box you like a rat into two-dimensional thinking.

Do you see in two dimensions?

Good Luck!

exactly.

so many people are brainwashed by the media into thinking we are all in boxes: by gender and race. it is always white male, latino female, black male etc etc as if they share something in common beside the boxes we put them in.

why does everything have to analyzed by this? isn't the US individualist country? why can't people think of themselves as individuals, not a part of a box?

the democrats vs republic label is equally stupid. I have heard people say stupid stuff like I will never vote for the republicans. These people are essentially saying, I am not a person, I am just of those chickens who has a brain the size of a peanut.

When I point out the economic reality of putting millions of uninsured onto the insurance rolls is going to drive insurance rates through the roof someone says I have no compassion. When I point out that we need to address voter fraud because 67 people can purposely walk into a polling place and 97% of them can successfully vote under a name that is not theirs I'm trying to suppress the minority vote.When I point out that the US spends more per student than almost every other western country with the exception of a few small ones like Switzerland I'm labeled anti intellectual. When I point to the blatant media bias of the mainstream media which should be obvious to anyone at this point I'm called paranoid. When I complain about some people on welfare using their card to buy junk food and lobster while I'm eating bologna sandwiches I hate the poor.

When you are standing in front of a microphone and refer to people as deplorable some of whom may be sitting in the audience undecided yet they are going to have an issue with that.
**applause**

Answer-Nominating Hillary.

You HAVE the president that America wanted!
Well, to be accurate, 30 million. She said "half" of Trump's followers were deplorables.
