My side as lost today because you have this weird thing "term limits".

Not really. Obama was pro-TPP.

[Grey Fox]

I still would vote for him!

[Zoupa]

Thank God.

If Obama was on the ticket, pretty sure he would have crushed the pedo-rapist. Didn't Obama carry Ohio twice?

Stuff like this is almost worth having a shitty President leading the strongest country on Earth for 4 years.

I wonder what my sisters would have posted if Trump had lost ... 

[Martinus]

Be charitable. So far Trump and your sister, at least, have been rather well behaved in their victory. Take it as a positive. I think Democrat supporters have been the sore losers (but not all - and obviously Obama was a class act as always).

Oh this is not you taking a side?

[Razgovory]

I have heard the "sore loser" thing from lots of Trump supporters.  Rather odd considering that their candidate was saying how he wasn't going to recognize the results of an election.  What is bizarre is that Trump supporters are still claiming the election was rigged.

[CountDeMoney]

lol, I don't think you can get anymore "sore loser" than Obama's congresses.

Marty only regards social media as important. Actual political actions are cool.

Be charitable.

Yes. When are you going to start?

Yeah. You want to address that Marty?

I would be disgusted by the Trump crowd crooning about "unity" and bullshit like that in the face of their candidates campaign, but I am pretty beyond any meaningful response to anything at this point.

When Obama was elected the GOP made a conscious decision to oppose everything he did, regardless of its merits. And that is exactly what they did for eight years.

Then they nominated someone who ran on an explicit platform of dis-unity, division, bigotry, and identity politics.

He has zero standing to expect anyone to back him other than the people who WANTED a racist, bigoted douchebag running the country. Good luck with that.

Marti is just a piece of shit full of shit as always.  Considering how much of a disaster this election has been to everything the liberals stand for, they have taken this remarkably well (though maybe the shock is not wearing off yet).  Contrast this with how people reacted to Obama's win, and continued to react for all of the following years.

I fully agree, but then what are the options? Who would benefit if the Democrats picked up the playbook of the GOP and started being obstructive sons of bitches just for the heck of it? Apart from Trump, I mean? Because that is the safest way to guarantee a 2nd (and 3rd and 4th, as things stand) term. Give him an easily identifiable domestic scapegoat to blame for all the big mess he is bound to create.

Sure, by opposing only what needs to be opposed as a matter of principle, it still means a long and conflict-ridden 4 years. But it would be a grave and strategic error to just dismiss all hints of cooperation because its Trump.
