I did not suggest anyone was being serious. I don't think I'm alone if thinking your comments were not in the least bit tongue in cheek, so if that was your intended tone I'd suggest you review your posting style. You suggested I was being serious. Let me spell this out here for you because clearly your struggling with this game of chinese whispers. I said it in the same way one might say 'funny how many people have ginger hair', 'many people struggle with depression' 'many can't spot tongue in cheek in internet forums'. If you don't think that football forum post was tongue in cheek then I feel really sorry for you. As the author of the post I can confirm that, it was, indeed, tongue in cheek, (although the logic does somewhat stand up). Did it not occur to you when you wrote that it was the "most desperate attempt to prove an argument on here I have ever seen" that I wasn't being entirely serious?! What do you propose for my new posting style? Dry? Humourless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have established that many republican voters are not calling for Donald Trump to be assassinated, and you were, of course, not being serious the whole time.

Grewks Posted 9 November 2016 Share Posted 9 November 2016 So....Only college educated white women backed Clinton from the 'white' vote. Obama's backing is the only reason the election was close in all honesty. The problem for Clinton was that she had no support, just anti-trump voters. Whereas Trump had both those who wanted change and anti-establishment voters backing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a well known fact that she doesn't put out to Bill, if she had been a good wife and sucked her husband's cock, she would have won the election Singhy lad, Chris Rock wants his joke back.

Finnaldo Posted 9 November 2016 Share Posted 9 November 2016 Some guy on Facebook (of African-American ethnicity, which could be considered important int his context) who does some extremely tedious and repetitive skits about Hennessy is claiming that he got 700,000 votes for 'Hennessy' in the election. I seriously doubt the numbers, but it wasn't even a protest vote, it was joke. How fvcking moronic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I conceded straight away you said many, you can mean what you want many has a dictionary definition which means majority, so at best you've miss used the word. If it is a joke (It wasn't but there we are) it is terrible one, and a clear deflection tactic as you could not back up your original comment. It is funny because you claim to be light hearted and even claim you pitty those that trying to have a serious discussion yet post in a highly aggressive and confrontational manner and have even gone as far as throwing insults at @Voll Blau on a couple of occasions. Not really consistent with someone not taking things too seriously. Your not coming across very well to the board at all to be honest. I highly doubt that's your actual reason but OK fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 9 November 2016 Share Posted 9 November 2016 It is surprising in some ways but it's not on the whole. Millennials are Clinton's biggest supporters. What's America's average wage for those ages ~30 and below? It must be pretty tough for those who vote with who they can most relate to when one candidate is a billionaire who literally has a whacking great tower in the middle of New York with his name on it.

They were saying on the radio earlier that the average wage for the lower classes is lower now than it was 19 years ago, despite the fact that the average wage as a whole has increased. Suggested that it was another reason for to vote Trump as a protest vote as the trend would likely continue under Clinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 9 November 2016 Share Posted 9 November 2016 51 minutes ago, MPH said: The interesting statistic is that whilst some people claim Trump to be racist, he actually had a larger share of the African American vote than what Mitt Romney did in 2012!! And thats what cost Hilary her vote.. she wasnt able to get as many African Americans to vote for her as what Obama could for him... That just means Trump > Romney from the perspective of Black Americans. Which is odd because other than being out of touch with the working class, Romney isn't an inherently bad person. Hillary is a disgrace anyway. If I was African American I'd vote Trump too. The Clinton pair have sponsored and passed some disgraceful bills that has hurt African Americans tremendously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
