many democrats chose not to vote for Clinton, not necessarily because she was a woman but because she was a corrupt politician

@rezamarashi well then let's talk about why people stayed home. Is that just racism and sexism too?

it's people like you that caused this. You're wrong by the way. Economic discontent was a pretty big factor

@rezamarashi it's not either or. Can we not approach the subject with nuance? It's not all about bigotry.

@rezamarashi Yes there was racism & sexism involved but we have to admit there were other reasons too or this will happen again.

Not to mention that voting for Obama and being a racist are not mutually exclusive.

It's about the ideal societal arrangement. Which just HAPPENS to be racist and sexiet, see!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@rezamarashi any facts to back up the racism cos it kind of sounds like you just want the vote to be about racism #lookingforit

@rezamarashi proudly I voted for trump, we don't need more people like Aslan praising & polishing Radical Islam as u did at UTA.

@rezamarashi I think there was more to it than racism and sexism, but racism and sexism was >85% of it.

You wouldn't want Trump arresting gays, dehumanising women and enforcing religion, y'know, like Islamic countries...

@rezamarashi I mean, it's fair to say it's both. There was more than bigotry, but it all still contributes to further bigotry.

@rezamarashi has a point, it was more anti-establishment if anything.

@rezamarashi we did elect Hillary Clinton, possibly by at least 2 percentage points once all the votes are counted.

@rezamarashi but was the racism and sexism. Feature or a bug? Did people vote for it or in spite of it? Don't know.
