I didn't vote for the republican party, even though financially it might have behooved me too. I wrote in Joe Biden as a protest vote in the last election, largely because I think the Republicans have gone off the rails. The mainstream wing of the party has suffered a total intellectual collapse. They don't seem capable of advocating any kind of sophisticated policy any more. They're consumed with a single minded fixation on tax cuts. The Trump wing of the party... well, that speaks for itself.

Having said that, however, I wouldn't conclude that the democrats have it made. That millennial voting map not withstanding, there are some really serious problems in the democratic party. I won't continue to support them if they continue down a path towards leftwing policies and race baiting. The democratic party was, for a while, a liberal party in the classical sense of the word. They advocated personal and economic freedoms. If that ceases to be the case I will abandon them. I'm nearly ready to.

i'm not ever voting until the two party system implodes on itself.

You really think thats gonna happen? I dont see it.. this country is doomed to be a two-party system forever.

People with conservative values will continue to vote Republican and people who are liberal minded will support Democrats. Maybe both parties will swap ideologies like they have in the past (Remember, Dems used to be the conservative party before, Republicans started as the more liberal one). I just dont see any room for anyone else, because each ideology is too worried that if they splinter their base, the other one will win by majority. Conservatives cant splinter into more than one party, and conservatives cant splinter into more than one party.

I want muh guns, I want less taxes. I dislike gays, transexuals, and other deviants. Most importantly I want America to be white.

I will never vote for a Democrat. I cannot support a party that wants to turn this country into Brazil 2.0 and destroy everything that is special about America.

>>37965143
Thinking about the question a little more, I'd like to expand upon my original response a bit. I didn't really articulate my complaint against the democratic party very well. My objection is this: the party contains a very large number of urban yuppies that looks down on most of America. That is a problem. And I say this as an urban yuppie.

For example: The democrats may be correct on the overall merits of renewable energy vis-a-vis coal. But they need to recognize that environmental regulations, though they may make sense overall, do have very real and very severe impacts on coal miners. The correct response to that is making sure that those environmental policies come with policies to help coal miners find new work to the largest extent possible. Instead what coal miners get is ridicule, mockery, and accusations of racism.

When the coal miner goes and votes for Trump his vote isn't "right" in the moral sense. It isn't good for us as a nation as a whole. But it hardly can be explained by the glib and insulting options that you've listed. He votes for Trump because Trump appears (even though he has already demonstrated that in fact he doesn't) to care about the coal miner. And that same story plays out across basically all of working class America, as we've seen. Sure, racism played a part in Trump's victory. But that by no means was all of it. And part of that racism is just a bitter and angry reaction to a way of life that people are losing. The democrats need to have a positive response for these people. They don't. Instead they have nothing much to offer but the premise given by this thread.

>>37965160

>>37965653
>Most importantly I want America to be white.

>>37965690

Not that anon, but good points.. Democrats need to make sure to explain that they want to go more green with renewable energy, and that former coal miners will be given jobs in these new energy source industries somehow.. thats where they need to focus. They've always been the party of jobs after all, until it was thoroughly highjacked by the urban yuppies you speak of.

I just dont trust Republicans and would never in my life vote for them. But if Democrats dont get their shit together, we might be stuck with these Republicans idiots for a long time.

>>37965763
Yep, absolutely. For now it's still on the fringes, but more and more the supposed liberal party has a harder and harder time with the most fundamental liberty of all: free speech.

>>37965695
I agree. It's a gigantic waste of time and effort for the Republican party to appeal to minorities, because ultimately the Democrats offer gibs, affirmative action, and other bullshit that nigs, beans, and whatnot will flock to. The only way for the Republican party to appeal to minorities would be to do a 180 and be liberal progressives just like the democrats.
Honestly the best thing Republicans can do is fight tooth and nail against immigration, and against welfare policies that incentivize minorities to breed like rabbits. Otherwise they will fade into the background as minorities grow and whites decrease, or more likely the party will transform into something utterly unrecognizable

>>37965747

That's already gonna happen eventually.. you realize that right?

By doubling down on being anti-immigrant like Trump all they're doing is alienating even more non-whites and make sure they will never for your party. When they start realizing this isnt working anymore, they will be forced to change their stance on many things. This wouldnt be a problem if *all* white people voted strictly Republican, but thats just not the case.

Eventually minorities will become a larger demographic and half of whites will continue to vote liberal, so there goes the Republican party.. btw that whole "gen z is conservative" shit is a meme.

You actually think Dems care about poor people? You're so naive it hurts. The Dems like poor people because they're easy votes. All they have to do is offer welfare to help with their short term problems to get their votes. What Democrats absolutely do not want to do is help the poor become wealthier. The reason is that when people become wealthier, they are more likely to vote Republican for lower taxes.
The Democrats do everything in their power to keep the poor in poverty. They're adamantly against school choice, because they don't want the poor to get a good education and rise out of poverty. They never support job-creating policies, because unemployed people become poor. They also support illegal immigration, which allows them to have a large group of people working for less than minimum wage who also vote for them in return for open border policies.
Everything about Democrats is to create more poor people to stay in power. They don't fucking care about poor people at all.
For republicans, it's actually in their interests to make more wealthy people, and as such they support business friendly policies, and low taxes.

>>37965823
This response is basically exactly what I've come to expect from the right. "But crooked Hillary...".

It doesn't matter what the Republican party is doing. For the purpose of this discussion it matters what the Democratic party is doing. And when it comes to addressing or even respectfully acknowledging the concerns of poor fly over country the answer is: very little. The democratic is catering to the needs of wealthy people on the coasts. It isn't surprising that that's where their votes are coming from. The Republican party is intellectually and morally bankrupt, but Donald Trump at least talked like someone who cares about middle America. It isn't surprising that that's where his votes came from. Some of it is undoubtedly from racism. Much more is undoubtedly from people who's lives are falling apart and who are tired of being ignored and called racist.

>>37965897

And that's just it, it's my opinion. Objectively speaking, there is no "correct" way to run a country.

If this is true then how come the economy has historically (in modern terms) done better under Democrats than under Republican rule? Even Trump has recognized this.

I do see many of your points though.. you ever think that maybe both parties are just using people for votes? Maybe it is in Dems favors that poor people stay poor for votes, but Republicans dont care about poor people either. They constantly make policies to fuck them over in favor of the very rich.

Politicians rarely care about their voters at all, usually they go in for the power/wealth.
In recent decades, both parties have come under the control of the super-rich. Rich democrats want cheap illegal labor, while rich Republicans want lower taxes for themselves.
Usually moral issues are simply used as a way to garner votes from their respective voter pools, and as such don't do much to pursue them.
If I have to choose between morally bankrupt Democrats or morally bankrupt Republicans I'll favor Republicans, since they are at least motivated to increase the number of middle class and wealthy, and as such will generally be more positive economically.

What's kind mind-blowing is that if Republicans could get white people to vote like any other racial group (i.e. get 70% or more of the white vote), they'd win overwhelming landslides for decades to come, even *with* the demographic changes that they refuse to acknowledge, let alone attempt to stop. But you're almost certainly right that it won't happen, because Republican politicians are useless morons and white people are totally pathetic self-hating cucks.

Not really. Even non-college whites don't break 70%. The DNC literally invites speakers who advocate, verbatim, "the extinction of white men," but Republicans can't even work up the nerve to make direct appeals to white people because identity politics are icky. Even Trump only talked in code. There is no lower form of life than Republican politicians.

>>37967088
Who suggested anything like this? My point is only to realize that these policies may further America in general, but they still hurt some people. The coal industry could employ one person. It would still be real to him when he loses his job.

As it happens the coal industry is just a synecdoche for a larger problem. The bigger example would be globalism. You're pushing on an open door if you argue to me that free trade is ultimately good for the American economy. But we need to realize that their are losers when we compete in the global market. Trump comes to the wrong conclusion and seems to believe that free trade is the problem. It isn't. But at least he is recognizing that their is a problem. That many people do in fact suffer badly from free trade. The democrats need to advance the positive case for free trade and help protect the livelihood and the dignity of those who at first are hurt by it. Instead they by and large ignore those people.

At least they're not Democrats.

They claim that we need enormous amounts of unskilled immigration to do jobs that they claim will be automated any day now and cease to exist. They pretend to be chivalrous defenders of the poor but their favorite insults are trailer trash and redneck. They suck up to corporations just as much as Republicans but think that it's somehow good when they do it. They will screech at you about how women and faggots are awesome then proceed to demand an influx of Muslims hostile to those same groups. Nothing they do makes any sense.

Instead their servile and pathetic. They're reduced to collecting welfare. And when they try to exercise their political voice what do they get? Not someone logically advancing the case of why Trump can't actually help them. Not someone offering a viable alternative. No. They get called racist. And while they wallow in poverty they can listen to a college kid in Berkeley tell them to check their white privilege. It's insulting and degrading. Have a sense of human decency and compassion.

Plenty of people said these things, they just didn't want to listen.

>>37967733
And Obama was elected twice by many of the same counties and states that this year swung to Trump. I rest my case.

>>37967792
Was your case that they fell for a scam?
Voters thinking there were no attempts to help them does not mean attempts weren't made.

>>37967846
My point is that they voted for people who made a demonstrable effort to help them. They voted for Obama and they voted for their local legislators. They didn't act like party shills.

And then the Democratic Party swung wildly in the last few years and so they voted for the new person who professed to care about them.

They've been betrayed by Trump and they've been betrayed by the national Republican establishment for years. But that doesn't make them sexist or racist.

Republicans are the party of the American dream

>Not someone logically advancing the case of why Trump can't actually help them.

this is like throwing pearls before swine in most cases, even if you do it you just get called a smug elitist liberal know-it-all and summarily ignored in favor of "common sense."

trumpers do not care to hear logic or viable alternatives to the austerity politicians they routinely vote in to fuck themselves over even more, they want to circle their intellectual bandwagons and crawl back into the romanticized past, and if you don't tell them something which comforts them in that way they reject it without a second thought. this is why they voted for trump to start with; anyone paying attention could see that he was a false prophet, but none of these people cared because he said exactly what they wanted to hear and they didn't bother to investigate further, not matter what doubts the media planted.

the roadbump to getting these people to help themselves is their own lack of intellectual curiosity, their preference for wishful thinking and their distaste for things that are new or different. not to get too rust cohle on you, but this is why these people pay into megachurches even in the grip of poverty; they cannot face the reality that is readily apparent around them because it's too ugly. none of them want to hear that coal and manufacturing will never be good again because of solar panels and robots, but what they'll buy hook line and sinker is that it's an immigrant's fault, just because it's more comforting for it to be the fault of some bad apples than for them to face the more terrifying reality that their way of life is dying because their way of life is doomed, and they need to find a new one, and they needed to start finding it ten years ago.

the one hopeful thing is that this bootlicker mindset is mostly affixed to the biology of older generations. millennial hicks wised up, and once their parents are dead we'll be good to go.

The coal industry is dying regardless of those regulations. Gas is cheaper. Trump just managed to successfully use a scapegoat to convince people to vote for him, just as he did for everything else, and just like the Republicans have been doing for the last 15 years. If this is going to be the major political strategy of half the country, I don't see much of a future for the country. Part of why I'm getting out.

better than no jobs. the fantasy here is that the coal workers think they would've kept on going just fine forever if it weren't for regulation, but it's just not true, coal's an old, dead technology and its workers are on thin ice no matter what the government does. they either retrain or they consign themselves and their children to the trash bin of history. and because they vote pro-life or whatever at the federal level, they have effectively chosen the trash bin for their children.

i guarantee if you go back far enough on any of those family trees, there's a family where dad was a farmer/cobbler/whatever and junior became a coal miner. junior didn't become a coal miner because it was what his father did obviously, he did that because it was the new hot profession. same shit now; if their great-great-etc grandpappy could change careers to make it in this world, so can they.

>>37968086
The fact that so many of the same people voted for Obama makes me think otherwise.

When the best we can do is wait for a huge portion of the country to die out that should be a wake up call. Maybe culturally, maybe intellectually, maybe spiritually(?) something has gone wrong. I don't find it acceptable to submit to that kind of fatalism and I don't think the result will end up being nearly as cheery as you believe. What you're describing I think is a society in the midst of a terminal decline.

Difficulty doesn't change the facts. The people in the horse and buggy industry couldn't stop the car by appealing to our sympathy. Ditto for all of the telegraph workers.

I've been arguing for sympathy and understanding all night, but only insofar as to understand why people voted for Trump. Your feelings don't change the facts of economics.

democrats just piss me off they're all so smug

republicans are kinda funny sometimes

>and because they vote pro-life or whatever at the federal level, they have effectively chosen the trash bin for their children.
Why isn't there a socially conservative economic interventionist party? Abortion and faggotry are irrelevant issues compared to economic problems.

There is no defensible logic to getting disappointed by one corporate Presidential candidate and then voted for another one. If anything, when considering Obama's nature as a corporate Democrat, we can say that Trump really is a case of "fool me twice, shame on me;" both men campaigned on change, and both didn't deliver much because there's a ton of Goldman Sachs money in their pockets.

Main difference is that Obama did at least get the Affordable Care Act out, which did SOMETHING to help people. So far Trump's big efforts have been a completely indefensible attempt at a Muslim ban, appointing people who are attacking education and net neutrality and tons of other vital regulatory shit, and the efforts of the GOP congress have been to create legislation to strip away what feeble protections Obamacare gave the poor and sick of America. And Trump's really rubbing it in their face with all the Sachs employees in his cabinet.

Not saying they need to become hardline Democrats, since that's obviously not a winning strategy either, but you can't defend them by saying "well corporate puppet 1 screwed them over so they voted for obvious corporate puppet 2, makes perfect sense."

Can you blame them?

I'm not defending their choice, I'm explaining it. I didn't vote for Trump. I wouldn't in a million years. My point is just that for a lot of people (probably most) it's a bit more nuanced than the options presented by OP.

Even though I'm not a virgin and have had a good fair share of pussy in my 20 years of life, I would still say it is choice B because a lot of the girls that have rejected me were Anti-trump. Also choice A because I admire rich people and being a poor person sucks so I support whatever the majority of the rich people support, which was trump.

The government actively oppresses their industry. But people without healthcare insurance aren't dying because of Republicans, they're dying because of human biology.

He was an outsider to politics. It was easier to take everyone in with the drain the swamp rhetoric over Crooked Hillary.

I was disappointed but not altogether surprised when his cabinet picks came out.

I havent no.

I hate everyone equally no matter their skin color.

I support them because they are correct a lot fo the time. Not all the time mind you but a lot of time. Plus I hate communism and socialism.

>>37968224

i don't have much hope frankly. i don't think the working class here has the proper mindset or tools to really dismantle the mindset that is tipping us over the edge, and i don't think they'll adapt in time. too selfish, too short-sighted, too in love with reagan.

>>37968247

literally doesn't matter how hard it is, if your industry becomes irrelevant in a capitalist economy you adapt or you starve. enjoy that free market or vote for someone who will make it less cruel. that person will probably be labeled a "socialist" or "communist," that's how you'll know.

>When the best we can do is wait for a huge portion of the country to die out
At least you're honest about your desire to exterminate large segments of the population to advance your progressive utopia. Hell, even most white supremacists won't go there and are content to ship non-whites out at cost.

>>37968255

i'm a relatively safe, happy man in the modern states, yes, but it doesn't make me unsympathetic to everyone else. indeed, it makes converting their mindsets all the more important to me. i think it really matters for the future of this country that people start drinking the same koolaid i am. i think if they don't, we're all doomed, me along with them. the sight of all the homeless in my city fills me with dread. there's so much we're not doing that we needed to start on ten years ago, and we're still stuck at the stage of trying to convince half the country of what the real problems are.

Too all the snarky leftists in this thread, you guys are 0-5 for elections so far. You have lost touch with the average person with your bullshit pandering, enjoy minority party status when mid terms are done.

I voted for Trump because SJWs piss me off in every day life. I live in a liberal state and i'm a libertarian. I can get on board with some of trump's positions, some of them I dislike. But nothing would make me happier than the asshurt that floods the daily media.

Race is real, too. Even though I have no problem living around well mannered minorities.

>>37968502
Yes, half of the country thinks our moral decline and hyper-permissiveness has been a good development. Won't be so pretty for liberals when the army of atheistic, relativistic white nationalists their own ideology enabled fucks everything up for them.

>>37968459
>desire to exterminate

wow, that's a real big strawman, very deceitful.

>>37968565

the democratic party is in civil war right now between the elites and the base. that kind of partisan taunting only works on people thoroughly in love with their party, which most leftists are not. if it makes you feel like you've you've really nailed someone to post this kind of thing, you're only kidding yourself.

Natural gas prices and automation are killing the coal industry jobs. If anything is oppressing their industry it's the market.

A prescription for blood pressure medication is cheaper and better for the patient than a trip to the ER for a heart attack. Human biology makes it all the more important to have health care because everyone will eventually need it at some point in their life. You can eat right, exercise and sleep properly and still get cancer or hit by a drunk driver.

Yup, and I intend to keep it that way so long as Trump keeps H1B abuse in check.

Just stop, you don't realize how economically suicidal green energy is. The coal industry will only die if you just let it.
