But at the same time, I felt relieved for younger women and girls. It would have been abhorrent for someone like Hillary to have been their first female president.
Sure.
My grandmother is the only democrat in my family. I am a liberal but do not consider myself a democrat. We are able to discuss politics with each other civilly and without a filter, whether we agree or disagree on an issue. The rest of our family are just nutters.
Anyway, after the election I told her I felt bad for her, because she’s getting up there in age, and I know it would have been a huge deal for women like her to see the first woman get elected president. They may not get another chance in their lifetime.
But at the same time, I felt relieved for younger women and girls. It would have been abhorrent for someone like Hillary to have been their first female president. Hopefully the day will come sooner rather than later, when a woman will get elected who they (and we) can all be proud of.
Hillary Clinton would not have been that person.
Tulsi Gabbard.
Sure.
Quit crying and find a better candidate next time.
I’m not crying for me. I’m a old(ish) straight male white millionaire US citizen, my life is good. It’s the people that don’t fall into that category that I cry for.
Anyone who thinks Clinton and Trump would have been equally bad is deluded.
You’re a millionaire‽
And I’m surprised that people voted for a hate-filled, divisive, classless, racist, vile, sexist, hypocritical pussy grabber, but here we are!
Thanks to the DNC’s corruption, they weren’t given a definitively better alternative.
Sure.
Well, it would have been nice if the Dems would have had someone better than Hillary.
It would be nice if I was actually a millionaire. We have to play the cards we are dealt, but some chose to fold and cry instead.
Sure.

I will have to revisit this when I’m an old man, but personally I would like to save that kind of leering for younger women.
Give those dames some respect!
Younger women? Are these young enough for you?

8 years old, 12 years old, 14 years old, 15 years old…
Kind of a nasty jab mate, I didn’t get that from what he was saying.
I don’t see it as a jab - it certainly wasn’t meant as one - just a question to highlight some of the content of what the Mail is about. The leering about younger women, thankfully, seems to apply to over 18’s - though not necessarily in the Daily Mail’s (or some of it’s readers) case…
Being from the UK, I immediately knew you were referring to the Daily Mail’s well known reputation for leering after underage girls (while often calling for pedophiles to me burned at the stake on the same page). Outside of the UK, people might not know this paper’s rep and might think you were insulting them, which you clearly weren’t.
For those still unclear, this clip from comedy panel show HIGNFY sums it up succinctly…
VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.

Tulsi Gabbard.
I’d vote for her. Then again, I voted for Clinton, so what the hell do I know?
I’m surprised anyone takes it seriously - even more that anyone still buys it.
Don’t celebrities pay them for publicity? Whenever I’m on that site, the headline seems to be about someone and their sex tape.
I wouldn’t know - I’m rarely, if ever, on their website.
I imagine some of the celebrities’ agents are on friendly terms with the editorial staff (or those who decide what goes in or not) and spinning the mutual PR agenda to push sales/exposure further - and also that of the ‘celeb’ involved.
For me it’s on a level with The S*n, Express and Star (and Channel 5 tv) in the UK. Definitely ‘media’ to avoid.

Tulsi Gabbard.
Is there talk of her running for President in 2020?
Sure.

I can turn my position on its head and say the same thing for you: your mainstream alternative was Trump, a vile choice.
Sure.

I also might not be a straight white male US citizen. You can’t trust anything on the internet, except that Darth Id has a face tattoo.

That is a good point mate - which sometimes I forget posting on here (to many US users, as opposed to the UK).
I apologise to Aldreraan for any offence my question caused.

I’m barely even a hundredaire, but it’s okay I still can pay my rent and eat and put gas in the car and still have enough left to drink too much.
Not a political statement, just putting it out there.
Thank you. Apology accepted mate.

I said you get to use the same excuse as many Trump voters: you didn’t have a good alternative.

Thank you for accepting my apology mate.

I apologise to you. I’m not as U.K. literate as those from there so I took it differently than you meant it.

I still don’t understand what you’re trying to say. I wanted to vote for Clinton. She was extremely qualified and would have been a good president. I also would have voted for Sanders, he was extremely qualified and would have been a good president.
TV’s Frink said:

We disagree here. But she was certainly more qualified would have made a better President than Trump.
I know people hate her, but how was she not qualified?
Sure.

Monopoly money doesn’t count, Frink. I keep telling you.

Ok, well you don’t have any excuse then. Many others voted for her simply because they were voting against Trump.
