    Holy crap! This young woman nailed it! What a brilliant video that explains exactly the state of affairs. Will libs listen? I cannot believe she was a liberal but then not all lefties march in lock step. Most of them do but not all.

    This young woman is brilliant but will the sheeple get what she is saying?

    At 3:35, she said something profound...but I'm not really sure it was completely intentional.

    She said "...Trump's not going to save us..."

    ...and she's absolutely right -- and that's where Americans in general, but especially liberals, have been going wrong for decades.

    We cannot keep depending on some God-send of a Messiah to swoop in and save us. That's the very definition of blind faith dependency!

    Our President cannot and SHOULD NOT be expected to save us.

    We have to save ourselves.


    Maybe this election was the start...maybe not. None of us - no...not even you libs who just KNOW Trump will be such a tyrant and such a neo-fascist, Nazi, blah blah blah....NONE OF US know what will happen once he is sworn in as President.

    Does it tell you anything at all that just enough people...in just enough of the right places...were willing to take a chance like this?

    Doesn't it hit home yet that so many people opted for a fair measure of uncertainty to avoid the horrid certainty of a continuation of Obama's abject failure of leadership heading at us like a freight train?

    No...I didn't think it would.

    Chill out and give the damn guy a chance!

    I didn't vote for him in the Primary, but once I saw that he was "that guy" who finally stood up to both sides of "the establishment" and played the dims' nasty little game of divide and conquer - AND BEAT THEM AT IT - then I figured it all out.

    Pull your heads outta the sand...pull your heads outta your butts...act like you give a damn about our country succeeding for once...and just give it a chance to work.


    You might be pleasantly surprised.

    Great video. I caught a lot of flack on this site from fellow liberals for attacking Obama and Hillary. You made your bed by empowering and defending these corrupt people, now lie in it.

    Very good analysis! Society has to save itself and stop looking for the government to make everything better.

    Well first, she is not a liberal if she ever was, and she says so. But that aside, she and you can claim she is addressing liberals but I know plenty of liberals who were strongly against Hillary. So she is actually addressing Hillary supporters. And speaking for myself, that was never me. I was and remain quite critical of Obama as well. He really let us down. Bernie would have been different. He is sincere and means what he says. But that's another discussion at best.

    Considering the above, what she said is true. There. Happy? But I'm a leftist, -not a liberal by most any measure.

    Oh, BTW, as RedStater said, at timestamp 2:09 she says "Trump" when she probably meant Hillary. Maybe she was too excited to be in front of a camera.

    That's probably because the right focuses on making up insane lies and gross distortions and spin about democrats, and so liberals then focus on opposing the BS and it comes across as defending Democrats. Much of the time, when I see liberals defending Obama or Hillary, if they are asked they will say both parties are the problem and neither is pure.

    True. That's because most Americans think he did a good job and voted for Clinton.

    Liberals think America has improved on what went before. You ask us to give your guy a chance. That's fair enough. Just like you gave our Obama a chance. Wait did you? Ok whatever.

    I think most libs will give trump a chance. At least until the large tax cuts come in.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Indeed. We can all agree that Obama did a great job. He was a great leader and that's why he was so popular. The next choice for POTUS was a different question however.

    You did not see protestors chanting during the DNC? A wide swath of liberals, generally the extreme left HATED Hillary for good reason.

    Meanwhile, when Cruz didnt endorse Trump, instead making the very reasonable statement to vote your conscience, RNC attendees booed him. Even now, when Trump puts THREE Goldmann Sachs execs on his economic team after running on rhetoric demonizing them, the right is barely making a peep.

    If any thing has been true of the two sides, lefties tend to cannibalize their own, righties tend to rally behind their designated authority.

    To say that liberals did not criticize Obama and especially Clinton means you did not pay attention at all.

    And I just want to point out that this year long election was the part where we give candidates a chance, and I found Trump atrociously authoritarian and inappropriate.

    The ONLY criticism I ever read a leftist post about Barack Obama was that he wasn't radical leftist enough. That's it. They all but worshiped the fellow and back in 2008 and 2009 a disturbing number of them did indeed seem to be worshiping him.

    I did pay attention. You are wrong. Libs worshipped obama and Hillary by proxy. Didn't work out too well did it?

    Then you weren't watching or you were wearing your righty blinders to keep you from noticing.

    There were many things from his reduction of the payroll tax to his bailout of banksters to pushing the TPP.

    Are there any right leaning folks on this board who discuss issues, or do you all just ignore responses and repeat the same damn thing over and over?

    Can you show me anything similar from the right?

    That's the one I thought of as well. I don't recall any other leftists criticizing Obama.....ever. Did you also notice how all of a sudden no one on the left voted for Hillary? I had a lefty tell me yesterday that he voted for trump....good god, they have completely lost it.

    And the left is guilty of the exact same thing. They throw around bigot and racist as insults even when they know its not true. They legitimize groups like BLM, even though the facts are against them. They ride a high horse of morality while being worse than those whom they hate.

    But you dont care about that do you?

    After WWII it turned out that nobody had ever been a Hitler supporter. I'm just saying.

    I hope they keep it up. So more and more people can start to see their ridiculousness and leave them.

    I have hope this is true. I mean even BLM, which is full of some of the most brain washed radical individuals that exist are losing their "showing". Likely a direct reflection of facts and statistics finally reaching the people enough that it sinks it.

    We gave the damn guy a chance. That chance was from June 2015 to October 2016. And we learned so much more about the thin-skinned, egotistical, narcisstic lunatic than we probably would want to know (at least to those who had their eyes open the entire time). So yes, we have pulled our heads out of the sand, out of our butts, and do give a damn about our country, thank you for asking.

    This woman spoke highly of Trump, someone pop the champagne cork. Those who love this country will rebel against Trump, period. Or else you are as much of a traitor to this country as Snowden, and I'm not bluffing.
