Nope, DNC shot themselves in the foot because they didn't like the largely independent bernie and ousted him.
Well, it might have ended up Trump vs. Bernie if the DNC executive hadn't cheated to help Hillary.
I disliked both, but Hillary ran a campaign of sabotage and out dated techniques that scorched the earth for the democrat side.

Same is true in the US with Obamacare - voters didn't think Trump would actually take it away, now they are scared....
To be fair, a good number of voters didn't know that ACA and Obamacare are referring to the same thing.
Haha I'm not sure I'd call that fair, but I take your point.
csargent2
How could you not though, repeal has been central to republican politics for 6 years.
Some of them didn't think he could actually repeal a law that was helping...

I think it's about political hypocrisy in general which has been painfully rampant around the world lately.

No, actually, the democrats did. Cheating for Hillary literally lost them the election.
MossfromIT
If only Hillary hadn't sent that email.
You're not using the world `literally` correctly. Correct example: `Republicans literally nominated and put Trump in the White House.`
Bernie would have swept the fucking floor with Trump, everyone can see that.
3) "sticker shock" when their taxes go up, because they assumed wealthier people would foot the bill. It's just one use of the analogy tho
I've always thought this was something liberals made fun of the republicans for because of all their ideological hypocrisy.
tamalero
Which is ironic, considering the huge concentration of wealth that has been happening in the past 30 years. Which accelerated with..
neo republican style economic liberalism.
The explanation is quite a bit more sophisticated than that, don't you think?
It's actually not. The republicans are squarely to blame for the wealth disparity in the country and low taxes on the rich.
1) This is going to get downvoted to oblivion, but the analogy is a common jab conservatives/libertarians take at people who vote Democrat.

Eh, the leopards told it like it is.

Comments like these remind me of mentally damaged women who can't pull themselves out of abusive relationships cuz the abuser loves them.

i assume this statement is about republicans? and how they "told it like it is"?

trump, specifically

Not republicans, but trump. There were a couple reasonable republicans in the primary, but they got crushed for whatever reason

I would laugh but as someone who is British this is exactly what happened during brexit.

I don't understand how it wasn't a two-step system from the first (one for a mandate to negotiate exit terms, another on the final terms)
ringadingdingbaby
Because Camerons an idiot
TheTastiestTampon
That would be too potentially damaging. The voters don't tend to take long views on topics, and Brexit negotiations requires a *long* view.

The US and UK are in a dick wagging contest for "worst politicans" and "worst voters".

I'm beginning to think that human beings have just become total shit over the years. You Brexit folks should see the Trump filth over here.

In the US's defense, trump isn't on the voters this time. Trump lost the popular vote, the electoral college put him in.

and voters made it "trump vs hillary" in the first place

The republicans didn't have a single sane candidate. It all came down to volume not issues, or sanity.

It's sad when rand fuckin paul is the least crazy person at your debates
Bonerhitler
Nope, DNC shot themselves in the foot because they didn't like the largely independent bernie and ousted him.
DrKriegersClone
Well, it might have ended up Trump vs. Bernie if the DNC executive hadn't cheated to help Hillary.
Flyndaran
I disliked both, but Hillary ran a campaign of sabotage and out dated techniques that scorched the earth for the democrat side.

Ironically the EC was formed specifically to stop ignorant and inexperienced but popular people from getting elected.
Bonerhitler
The founding fathers had assumed the voters would be too stupid and untrustworthy, that someone like trump would have been voted in.
TheTastiestTampon
That's... That's just really not the main reason whatsoever.

Actually, it 100% is the main reason. The vehicle for protection of state interests is the Senate.

Damn, I didn't even know leopards were much of a problem up there on your little island.

"Should leopards leave or remain in their Zoo enclosures" people didn't read the ballot.
CrimeBrulee
Same is true in the US with Obamacare - voters didn't think Trump would actually take it away, now they are scared....
CanOpenersOnTheirFaces
To be fair, a good number of voters didn't know that ACA and Obamacare are referring to the same thing.
CrimeBrulee
Haha I'm not sure I'd call that fair, but I take your point.
csargent2
How could you not though, repeal has been central to republican politics for 6 years.
CrimeBrulee
Some of them didn't think he could actually repeal a law that was helping...
FucknuggetsMcgee
I wouldn't exactly call it helping... at least in my experience, no one I know has been helped by it
CrimeBrulee
Then you should feel lucky to have such good health, but that is an extremely narrow worldview to have.

The Republican classic: I'm against it till it effects me or someone I know personally, then I love it.

Is this a sly commentary on the Democrats treatment of Bernie Sanders?
TheUpdootist
I think this could be applied to a number of political happenings around the world and make sense.

That, but it could also be for any time people don't realize their votes colletively will change somethibg they will regret.

2) It's usually made in reference to reports of people voting for a liberal policy (generally social programs) and then getting
lozeldatkm
I think it's about political hypocrisy in general which has been painfully rampant around the world lately.
puffyjacket69
This is really what it all comes down to. Too many people voting for the knee jerk reaction policy and not thinking it through.

It translates well in 140 characters though!!!! (the irony of this post being character limited has not escaped me)

Winterous
No, actually, the democrats did. Cheating for Hillary literally lost them the election.
MossfromIT
If only Hillary hadn't sent that email.
TheresAnUpvoteForThat
You're not using the world `literally` correctly. Correct example: `Republicans literally nominated and put Trump in the White House.`
Winterous
Bernie would have swept the fucking floor with Trump, everyone can see that.
Harks119
3) "sticker shock" when their taxes go up, because they assumed wealthier people would foot the bill. It's just one use of the analogy tho
puffyjacket69
I've always thought this was something liberals made fun of the republicans for because of all their ideological hypocrisy.
tamalero
Which is ironic, considering the huge concentration of wealth that has been happening in the past 30 years. Which accelerated with..
tamalero
neo republican style economic liberalism.
Greenplantpaperwork
The explanation is quite a bit more sophisticated than that, don't you think?
puffyjacket69
It's actually not. The republicans are squarely to blame for the wealth disparity in the country and low taxes on the rich.
Harks119
1) This is going to get downvoted to oblivion, but the analogy is a common jab conservatives/libertarians take at people who vote Democrat.

For fuck says give it. Stop trying to whipe Trump of on "well the DNC didn't like Sanders

Republicans can't seem to own anything. You put Trump in office. Just own that shit.

I think it's more for people who voted for Trump with preexisting conditions and are now freaking b/c they may have no HC in a bit

But, but, he said everyone will be insured ... didn't he?
stabbedintheface
He also said... Vaccines cause autism, he was going to build a wall, Obama wasn't born in the US, he was going to drain the swamp...
GogglesGreek
He said that, then his flying monkeys said "Oh, he meant everyone can BUY insurance" because you literally cannot trust a word he says.
corneliusgansevoort
He did this week. What will he say 3 weeks from now? Aside from feuding with Rosie O'Donnell, that is.

It's the right wing in general. People need to stop treating them like they have valid viewpoints. American conservatism is a hate movement.
SomeCrazyNerd
Nope nope nope not the solution.
heynongman4pres
I would disagree with you if Steve Bannon weren't the chief strategist for this White House. The GOP needs to be fought at every turn.
ZVanderberg
People on this site have a big problem with false equivalency.
pfiidude2
That is arguably, haste speech.
ZVanderberg
No it's not. Not everything is equal. American conservatism has become a white nationalist movement. It can't be denied anymore.
