Jonathon Pie, a well known British political commentator tore into the democrats who are busy blaming everyone else but themselves for the terrible showing in the election.
“Not everyone that voted for Trump is a sexist or a racist.”
“Most people didn’t vote for her, not because she’s a woman, they didn’t vote for her because she offered no palpable change whatsoever. Same old shit. Trump represents a change, a terrifying change, but a change nonetheless.”
“How many times does the vote not have to go our way before we realize that our argument isn’t won by hurling labels and insults..Tory majority, Brexit, Trump. “When will we learn that the key is discussion. If you are unwilling to discuss, then you are creating the conditions in which Donald Trump and people like him can thrive.”
“But instead of persuading people to vote, she just courted celebrity endorsements and then lost. And then she loses it and loses the election and she locks herself in her hotel because she is too upset. Either way grow up. I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. Be a better candidate.”
“It’s time to stop ignoring your opponents or worse trying to silence them,” he added. “It’s time to stop banning people from speaking in universities. It’s time to stop thinking that reposting an article on your Facebook feed is political engagement.”
“Being offended doesn’t work any more,” he continued. “Throwing insults doesn’t work anymore. The only thing that works is fucking bothering. And all you have to do is engage in the debate and talk to people who think different to you and persuade them of your argument.”
