Haha. It shows you how insular and far gone those people are. Sanders says something reasonable and mildly inclusive and they lose their shit.

They are the same as the dipshits on the right who have a litmus test for their candidate and only the true loons ( like Bachmann and Cruz) pass their test.

GB2/GAF/ with you and Jack. If you honestly think they deserve what they got for believing in Trump's campaign over Hillary's (who said nothing to them), you deserve the possible 8 years of Trump.

Seeing GAF's reactions to the election I see exactly how the republicans managed to keep losing election after election for so long even after anyone paying attention was like "Why aren't they changing anything and instead doubling down on all the stuff that didn't work?"

After 2012, the RNC released a scathing report that shit on the party, and finally acknowledged the mistakes they had been making and how to change.
After 2016, the DNC blamed everyone but themselves and is seemingly intending to move farther left rather than to the middle. Yeahhhhhhhhh

Bit of a simplication here. Actually, the democrats being center right is one of their biggest issues. Currently the dnc is fighting for a future. Many are predicting civil war within the party. By going further left, they go back to the grassroots working class nature of the party. The Democratic Party of today is way further right than it used to be on many issues.

Your post is a really awful simplication. In the post election fallout meeting, an aide flat out called the dnc out pointing out that the dnc caused the election result and walked out. Many agreed with him.

If you don't think people will be fighting the authotorian liberal contingent to claim the identity of the Democratic Party, then you haven't been paying too much attention. Right now isn't a particularly hot time to be a old Democratic player. If democrats go back to a working class oriented party and changes their stance on guns, they'll mop up. But whether that happens or not depends on several factors.

Personally I've given up on them and have renounced my membership to the party post election.

You don't have to have full on empathy but at the very least reflect and not laugh at their misfortune, say they deserved it, call them stupid, say they vote against their best interests in a tone that suggests you know what everyone's best interests are even if they disagree with you.

I mean, they clearly do deserve it, but there's still a need for compromise and pragmatism.

I'm not going to absolve someone of the responsibility of their vote, and I wouldn't want to be absolved if the situation were reversed.

[Boredfrom]

But people can vote for anyone they want, that is one the key components of democracy. 'Absolving' or 'condemning' people for their votes is absurd.

It's the personal responsibility approach to politics. It accomplishes nothing other than giving its practitioner a sense of moral superiority. Condemn Trump voters all you like, but it's a meaningless act that doesn't contribute to any sort of progressive movement that could counter him.

Congrats on taking that stand and not getting banned for it lol.

Mine was a little different. I tried calling out people that were literally relishing in their apathy or desire for the harm a person's vote would do to ones that loved them. Not just the ones that directly voted, but the ones that may love the ones that did. People arguing they hope they suffer and they hope those same people should be locked out of any benefits of society going forward. A niche carved out to make them uniquely suffer....because they failed to vote for the candidate they wanted.

I was told I was obnoxious, disingenuous and thread derailing(because I dared to respond to the people that took issue with my initial response)....Because expressing a desire for basic human decency is beyond the pale on GAF if it is toward an "out-group" apparently.

I definitely empathize with them, or at least the situation because I think all of it is more complex then dumb Gaffers that are looking for easy caricatures to beat up on to feel superior about themselves like to frame it(though some are just that fucking stupid, and some are just so blinded by enthusiasm to things like Trump's racism that they ignored policy). I don't overly sympathize with them though. At least not in terms of the direct consequence of their votes.

I just hope the Democratic party has a different view on how to respond to voters with buyer's remorse.

lol he edited out his op

First of all sorry about my English its not my native language.

I will try to keep it as short as possible.

10 years ago i had a friend a girl who I loved very much. Me and her were doing everything together, going for parties, watching movies and other standard staff that young people do. I was in love for the first time. One day i decided I cannot continue like this and I confessed that I love her a lot and would like to be in a relationship with her. She was confused and told me she just wanna be friends nothing more. I was heartbroken. I couldn't continue like this and I finally decided it would be the best to stop seeing her. I deleted all her informations (emails, messages, phone number etc) and sent her last message saying that we cannot be longer be friends. She replayed she understand.

10 years has passed, I have found a girlfriend whom I got married to and which i love a lot. My life was good.

Yesterday while walking on the street I got petrified when I saw the girl, my first love.
She saw me too. She looked like she saw a ghost. She just came to me, looked at me asked me if I was me and hugged me.

Her eyes were red, she started crying, my eyes were watering and I broke down right there on the street. We were standing there hugged both of us crying.

We sat down on a bench and started talking about our lives. She told me that she loved me too but was scared to confess cause she thought it will ruin our friendship. She was now married too. All the time while talking she was trembling cause she was crying and couldn't speak properly. I thought my heart was going to explode. I was overwhelmed by emotions. I never felt anything like it. I realized that my love towards her was never gone I just ignored it and tried to forget it.
She said if she could choose again she would choose to be with me, that she made a huge mistake not keeping us together. Now it too late. We are both married to a different person.

She didn't want to leave, me neither. I just wanted to hug her and be there forever.
But I had to let her go. I was late I had to go. I told her that I had to leave she started crying again saying she doesn't want to let me go. My eyes were full of tears, I couldn't handle this. I still loved her.

I couldn't sleep the whole night. I had dreams about her, when we were younger, having fun together. I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes. I am still heartbroken.

I didn't took any contact from her, because I know if i keep in touch with her I will definitely cheat my wife and I don't want to do that, I love my wife too.

eh, my wife's and my story isn't terribly dissimilar.
- We hung out in high school
- Was friendzoned
- We moved on
- Got in contact after almost a decade
- Kick off our friendship again
- Find out she had friendzoned me because she didn't want to ruin the friendship
- We fall in love again
- Get married

So it's not too different...well, outside of the crying in the street, the "no don't go!" and the "I would cheat my wife" bit. So actually, it's nothing like this story.

What do you think left is?

Do you think left people give wall street doners more attention than their actual constituents on the campaign trail? Or do you think left only means id politics? Their stances should move towards the middle depending on the topic.

Bernie Sanders is more left than Hillary. Do you think going more towards that would really be detrimental for the party rather than going towards the middle and being moderates? Being moderates has done fuck all for the party.

Moving "further left" seemed to work out great for Trump when it came to trade policy and Keynesian stimulus spending.

But define the "middle" for me. Because a candidate that just ran on extremes in multiple directions just won the presidency and the candidate that was trying to cast the biggest tent lost.

[benjipwns]

I don't think Obama is achieving what he thinks he is by rolling over for Trump with this "smooth" transition. The right doesn't respect it, and neither does the left.

And I don't care about his favorability. This election has been a referendum on the data and how we traditionally interpret it. I've never seen so much apathy toward Obama as I have in the last few months. People think he's a good person, but a terrible leader. And I'm starting to agree.

People forget (thanks to the Rachel Maddow show for pointing it out last night) that the most inspirational thing Democrats did this year was not nominating Hillary Clinton. It wasn't Obama's "steadiness" or duty to his office. It wasn't the Democrats' foolhardy respect for the "norms" of government, their penchant for turning the other cheek to receive another beating.

No, the most inspirational thing Democrats did, the thing that really woke people up and got people paying attention, was this:

The problem with More_Badass, and why he's a bad mod and not an annoying mod, is that this is his M.O.

 This dude will stan for any indie or survival game to the point of writing entire essays on the unlimited possibilities of a game purely over blurbs and gifs. This isn't the first time he's asked people basic info about a game he stans for.

 He'll even confute Early Access with "this game can potentially do aaaannnyythhhinngg".

 Even then, that's fine, but this dude consistently strong-arms posters who express doubts or post their negative opinions on games they play and rambles on and on over stuff over "possibilities" and "experience".

 In the NMS debacle he closed tons of threads that were negative, pointed out flaws, or showed missing content until a mod explicitly OK'd it, told users with negative feedback that their findings were "wrong" and questioned if people really played the game, wrote entire essays on the game stanning for it, dismissed users entirely, claimed it was GOTY material etc. etc

 And it turned out months later he didn't even buy the game.

Sounds about right.

Crossed paths with him in a few mobile games threads and the dude is super defensive about that stuff. He kept insisting to me that mobile games are "good", and I'm like, "come on, man, we're all friends here.  "
