you sure enjoy making excuses for people who could vote for someone who makes racist bigoted comments.

All of these socials issues deserve some focus by a candidate, but they shouldn't be the central theme when so many people are struggling financially. More importantly perhaps, these issues should be championed by someone that the people believe is in their corner. When a corporate America shill like Clinton cheer leads these issues it comes off as disingenuous lip service.

There was a very large increase in hate crimes last year against Muslims and Hispanics -- even against people who looked hispanic. At the same time, Trump was giving racially charged speeches against those groups. Do you think this was just a coincidence?
@Padawanbater2 I'm asking you the same question. Is it just a coincidence that there was a rise in hate crimes last year when Trump and the right wing echo chamber was resonating with racially charged speech against Hispanics and Muslims?

& what, financial issues can't affect social issues?
You got your ass handed to you because the Democratic Party failed to win over working class Americans. Every other minority group voted democratic.

I don't disagree with this assertion. I'm just disagreeing that the main issue or even an important one was PC culture. Just the opposite, in fact.

You're almost right.
The EC does disturb me because Hillary Clinton is not President of the United States though she received 2 million more votes than Donald Trump.
Your childish pokes are boring. And you're clearly not intelligent enough to engage in rational debate.

"Donald Trump tells it like it is!"
That is a criticism of PC culture

Nope, that's a pathetic excuse for a rich asshole being a total bigot. Why can't you admit these people's behavior is inexcusable.

Why can't you admit that at least some of their concerns are valid? Do you profit from such divisions? If not, why perpetuate them?

Did you answer an earlier question? Are you avoiding it? I'm asking: Is it just a coincidence that there was a rise in hate crimes last year when Trump and the right wing echo chamber was resonating with racially charged speech against Hispanics and Muslims?

I said racism and sexism are important issues that should be addressed, so, not sure where you get the idea that I believe their behavior is excusable
Padawanbater2

No, that's why I said addressing it is an important issue. But when you attempt to address it in a way that alienates a large portion of the base, you are not running a successful political strategy. Sanders, for example, addressed it in a way that actually affects minorities; by talking about the economic aspect of the problem. By talking about policy and avoiding identity politics and shallow rhetoric and empty platitudes. Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters 'deplorable'. You ever hear the saying that you'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar? "Kill em with kindness"? Or that story about German POWs during WW2 being given extraordinary treatment by their allied captors that they began voluntarily giving away information?
All you're going to do by calling people names is turn them against you, it simply is not a winning strategy.

Like I said before, we won't have to win them back, after four years of the Trump administration. Every middle class Trump supporter ,who has half a brain will be begging for economic equality.
