(28,339 posts)"all the non-white people who voted for Trump or 3rd parties" Yeah, I'll bet if we tried real hard we could fit almost all of those folks on my lawn.
"never mind that 55% of Hillary voters had white privilege"
Seriously? Did you think before you wrote that? Did those white Hillary voters throw away a vote at a moonshot because their white privilege insulates them from the worst consequences of a Trump administration like deportations, profiling, racial and religious bigotry, etc.?
Did those white Hillary voters cast a vote for hate? for misogyny? for bigotry? Did they vote for the stunning ignorance and incompetence of the incoming administration? Did they vote for a SCOTUS that will undo decades of liberal social progress? Uh no. I repeat myself; They voted to protect love, to protect health, to improve education, to raise wages, to work towards social and economic justice, to protect the Earth.
WE are the left.
