Internet anonymity has breed the culture of bullying assholery that got Trump elected. There is no such thing as internet anon... |

| Sadly true, CyberDad. "No-one has done more for the disabled than I have" tweeted one Donald J Trump earlier this year. (Yes Donald, of course you have, the emperor is always fully dressed...) Yes this hyperpole from Trump is well known http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/president-trump-d... |

| The hard right seems to attract people with a deficit of empathy and compassion. Trump is like the god of the new sociopathic hard right. It's a disturbing trend that's just getting worse and worse. |

| Many of us voted for Trump because he was (still is) seen as the lesser evil, not out of blind devotion, hero worship, or love. This has been gone over countless times. In other words.... vote for a blatantly horrible person because... ideology. Unless just out of "ideology" you pissed aw... |

| A left-wing candidate would be much less likely to win than a centrist. You know as well as I do that if Bernie had won the nomination (which he couldn't even manage) he would have been slaughtered by independents and wouldn't have won the Republican crossover votes that Hillary managed.

| i think it means that political/economic systems look good on paper because they don't often take into account basic human nature and greed, which is a pretty big reason they suck in practice.

| To be honest, I don't trust western media reports on Venezuela anymore. When talking about the authoritarianism of the government, there is never any mention of the constant contempt for democracy and violence dished out by the wealthy elites since Chavez first took office in 1998. No mention of the... |
