In reply to the discussion: Why do some think Biden not recognizing George Clooney [View all]Keepthesoulalive

Racism is in Americas DNA. Why didnt 64% percent of white men vote for the better candidate. You know the answer. When white America joins the minorities who get it maybe we can pull our country out of the ditch. George Wallace was a democratic moderate when he ran for governor but he wasnt getting traction. So then he started with the hating on folks ,he said they were clapping and cheering they almost tore the building down. He said I will never be out n word again. We have not come very far from the !950s, some want to go back. Thats why a sick sob won the election.

Exactly. Voters decided trump was better than what we offered. I hope we keep that in mind in coming races.

Simple, about 5% of voters went to trump at last minute, another 6 Million Democrats sat at home.

We lost to the most beatable and vile candidate in history. Hope that wakes people up.

Stupid people (rubes) out voted us. How are we going to change that is the question?

There will apparently always be an excuse for the stupidity of American electorate, regardless of how flimsy.
