1. KICK

2. Republicans are the same people who always complain about "people having babies they can't afford."

Right.

[Charles Bukowski]

3. America is decidedly center-left on virtually every issue.

There's no reason we shouldn't be dominating the GOP, even with their gerrymandering cheating ways.

7. not really. ask about blm immigration etc

See what numbers are among whites compared to others.

[Charles Bukowski]

8. Who cares? Whites aren't the only group who's opinion matters

The vast majority of Americans reject mass deportations while favoring a path to citizenship. Even the majority of Republicans feel this way. This remains true despite Gump's victory.

As for BLM, a recent Pew poll asked Americans overall about black individuals who died in police encounters. 60 percent said the deaths represent broader problems between police and black citizens.

Again, we are a center-left nation.

9. but writes are the ones voting republican

And gerrymandering plus electoral college dOes matter since white right wing votes are counted more.

None of the 62 million that voted are center left.

[Charles Bukowski]

10. None of the 66 million

people who voted for HRC are center-right.


Republicans have mastered the art of winning elections while holding opinions the majority of Americans disagree with, I'll give you that. But the country as a whole leans left.

4. WE THE PEOPLE means NOTHING to fascist repuke bastards

5. Polls don't vote. People do.

And apparently a bunch of people in certain states didn't bother while others in other states couldn't due to rank obstruction.

6. The Republican Apartheid Party continues it's undemocratic march.
