"There is no difference between the two"

[RhodeIslandOne]

Fuck you, to any of you idiots lurking in shame today who said that last year.

That is all.

[Iggo]

1. I think a thousand of these threads is about enough.

[MFM008]

2. Since we're LIVING

This nightmare.
It's not enough.

[jrthin]

26. I agree with you +1000. nt

[0rganism]

10. nope, not even close

maybe around 65 million of them will be enough.
if i never hear that false-equivalence bullshit again, it will be too soon.

[Maven]

12. I disagree. In fact, this needs to be brought up repeatedly

So it never happens again.

[peabody]

13. Those who

forget history are condemned to relive it.

[aeromanKC]

14. We must Never Forget!!

It is something so important it needs to be said every day every hour every minute!!!!! Never Again!!!!!!!

[Iggo]

16. And I thought it was bad after Obama won.

[tiredtoo]

35. AMEN! NT

[LonePirate]

3. Let me give this a big K&R. We need to speak out against those who claim there was no difference.

We have seen monumental and predictable differences every day since January 20.

[wryter2000]

32. We saw differences starting when Bush was elected

And yet, people continued to peddle this nonsense. It has to stop.

4. K&R

[Willie Pep]

5. The media deserves a lot of the blame for this one.

The media wants to make every election a close horse race for views and clicks so they had to amplify Clinton's supposed negatives to match Trump's. That is how you heard about the dumb e-mail "scandal" as much as or even more than Trump's misogyny or his stiffing contractors and other problems.

8. And now that the media is beginning to come around.. He has hung the

"fake news" trope around their necks, which will minimize their ability to help us right the ship...

[NurseJackie]

6. Agreed! Fuck them all!

And fuck their defenders, protectors and apologists!

[mcar]

7. K&R

[LyndaG]

9. Said the same thing about Bush and Gore

Don't they learn ?????

[niyad]

11. k and r, and a great big FU to those who said so.

[RandiFan1290]

15. Welcome Back to DU!

[FairWinds]

17. I just don't get the obsession on DU with Ms. Sarandon .

Of course she erred badly, as did some others, but that had
very little to do with the outcome of the election.

THIS (below) is why Ms. Clinton lost, and DU should be spending time
and effort on how to deal with it in 2018 and beyond . .

19. Every useful idiot did their part

The media.

The "TRUE" progressives.

The Russians.

Trump's cabal.




They all own this.

[Demsrule86]

28. She and her sort had everything to do with this loss and Gore's loss...I despise her .

[Chakaconcarne]

18. Let's just rehash this daily...

For god's sake we all certainly haven't had enough of it yet.

[RhodeIslandOne]

20. Yeah, no biggie, right?

Your life goes on.

[aeromanKC]

21. You would have thought people would have remembered 2000

NO, a vote for Nader to make a point since after all, there is no real difference between Gore and Bush and the 2 Establishments Party's.
Um, Alito and John Roberts, 2 illegal Wars, Economic disaster later. Um, YES there is a Difference!!!!

[Dopers_Greed]

22. "Hillary is just as evil as Trump"

What a joke

[Roy Rolling]

23. Why are you telling me?

I NEVER said that, nor anyone with half a brain here. Go seek out the offenders and stop ragging on your friends.

We are already angry with the mess, and don't deserve generalized complaints. Muhammad Ali said "the first thing I do to unnerve an opponent is to get them angry". (paraphrased)

Anger is like starting fluid. one squirt can start an engine, but it won't power it for more than a second.

[RhodeIslandOne]

25. "to any of you idiots lurking in shame today who said that last year"

Why did that hit a nerve?

I'm speaking to the people who saw fit to start their own bullshit site but can't help but come over here to gloat. Fuck them! They ARE watching!

[louis c]

24. K&R

[Wolf Frankula]

27. Because we have to "Send them a message".

That's why "A vote for Anderson is a vote for Nader is a vote for Stein which is a vote for Reagan is a vote for Bush is a vote for Trump." Do you still think "There is no difference?" Between Carter and Reagan, Bush and Gore, Clinton and Trump?

If you do, you are a fool.

29. God motherfucking damn it!

When will we see the last of these posts?????????????

Who are you preaching to?

Who here really thought there was no difference?

And even if there had been some who thought that, what is the point of this now?!

[RhodeIslandOne]

30. You really don't think there are still people here lurking?

Do you know what a lurker is?

Anyone posting here and on a site that's referring to President Obama snarkily as "Mr Hope and Change" TODAY should get the fuck out of here.

[FiveGoodMen]

33. And what is accomplished by filling this site with such messages?

If there are lurkers who STILL think there's no difference, this won't change their minds.

If there are those who know better now and lurk anyway, then 1) they know better now, and 2) they're not going to come out and apologize.

Meanwhile, we all have to waste our time on these rants.

[wryter2000]

31. Thank you

I hope in the future no one will lend credence to that kind of bullshit. People will continue to spew it, but with any luck, no one will believe it.

[Skittles]

34. to be fair

anyone who ever said that was a fucking moron

[ffr]

36. My first reaction from the OP was laughter. Worded perfectly!

Thanks. I needed that.

[RhodeIslandOne]

37. Your welcome! Nm
