I tried to find the right photo of Luke saying “I care” but I couldn’t find it.

How. Just how.

what?

That picture is in every other page of each thread on the forum. I don’t even know what’s happening.

You mean the pic where he actually says I care is on every other page of each thread on the forum? Somehow I have missed it. Maybe you mean every other page of each thread in the Star Wars section on the forum?

I don’t buy that all these racists that wouldn’t have voted otherwise came out of the woodwork to support Trump.

Neither do I, but I think you underestimate the number of racists if not outright white supremacists that vote for Democrats, and even voted for Obama.

excuse me? why would an outright white supremacist vote for Obama?

You’re excluding the obvious fact, a fact that non-racist Republicans don’t like, that when racists vote, they’re going to vote Republican 99% of the time. The Republican Party has had a covert appeal to racists for at least 25 years now, if not since 1964. I don’t buy that all these racists that wouldn’t have voted otherwise came out of the woodwork to support Trump.

Obviously, another reason Hillary lost was because more electoral votes went to Donald Trump. Another reason she lost is because Bernie Sanders ran against her in the primary. The main reason she lost is because she ran a terrible campaign and was an unlikeable candidate. The blame is on her. If you trip on your shoe laces because you forgot to tie them and happen to fall in a puddle of water, I see little reason to constantly remind everyone that the reason you’re wet is in part because you didn’t tie your laces and fell, and also because there was a puddle in front of you and there was nothing to grab on to and no one caught you before you fell etc. etc… Bad analogy, but it’s all I’ve got.

If only C3PX were still here. Way back I tried to say that racists would be more likely to vote Conservative/republican, and he and other conservatives on here slapped me down.

What bothers me is that there is no definitive answer as to why Trump won. Everyone out there is guessing. Russia. Wikileaks. Comey. Bernie. Status quo. Rust belt. …I want someone with actual quantifiable evidence to say “this is why Trump won the primaries; and that is why Hillary’s poll numbers were oh-so-wrong, and EXACTLY why they tanked in the last week.”

But no. All we have is guesswork, blame games, and a good old fashioned hands-in-the-air WTF.

It’s not that it’s guesswork, it’s that everyone is correct. The margin was so thing that all those things mattered. The people who are wrong are the ones who are insisting it was only one of those things that was to blame.

You forgot to list Hillary. Also forgot to list anyone who didn’t vote for her. Also racism. Also sexism. Also Islamophobia. Also xenophobia. Also other things I’m sure.

Racism? Hillary is white.

Didn’t you just post it?

Warb missed the joke.

Warb, the whole point of the exact image you posted is that it’s the wrong image for the quote. It’s an ot.com meme. You did the meme right except you didn’t know you did it right and then you ruined it by saying you did it wrong when you in fact had done it right accidentally.

I’m sure that clears everything up.

*sigh*

And his supporters moved to supporting Hillary at a faster rate than Hillary’s moved to Obama, so if Bernie’s supporters were being unreasonable, at least they were less unreasonable than Hillary’s.

They were? I don’t remember that way. I remember it as Bernie supporters being sore losers at the Convention.

Follow the link, and let me know if you dispute it. Bernie supporters moved pretty quickly to Hillary, Hillary’s were much more likely to dig in their heels and held their breath until they turned blue. I suspect the people making noise at the convention were either the Republican operatives I was talking about, or people duped by them. Luckily, as shown by the link, they didn’t represent Bernie supporters as a whole either way.

Sorry, still not convinced. I don’t believe all the those people at the convention supporting Bernie were merely Republican operatives.

Or duped by them. So do you dispute the link showing Bernie supporters rapidly flocked to Hillary, or what? Or do you think the article is true and that my assessment was correct that Bernie supporters were by and large very reasonable compared with Hillary supporters and you still want to judge them based on this non-representative subset? I don’t get where you’re going.

Americans prefer Trump to me.

Only via the Electrical College.

That’s even worse!

I don’t think you understand. She won the popular vote and lost in the electoral college.

But Frink said she lost in the ELECTRICAL College. That’s even worse!
