I'll say this again: Does this not prove that "diverse" liberalism isn't so diverse after all? Shouldn't a diverse group of people have seen this coming? Or is liberalism actually systematically excluding people by labelling them as "racist" and "sexist", when in fact they're just fiscal and social conservatives?

#33Do it in the spirit of those who hold the office of U.S. Presidency: be civil and courteous, make sure you don't disparage anyone's ethnicity or gender, and make sure you don't make wild and unfounded accusations, amiright?

I'm curious, why is that just two thousand comments would bog down the server? What kind of processing is done by the server to render a thread?
Oh man—all kinds of stuff. The visible bits are an iceberg tip. And it all runs in a Racket process on a single core. That mammoth thread at least tells us where the brick wall is: at about two 'who is hiring's.

What does any of this mean? Trump is labeled racist, sexist and misogynistic because of his words and actions. As are most people.

I'd argue he's none of those things.

> Does this not prove that "diverse" liberalism isn't so diverse after all? Shouldn't a diverse group of people have seen this coming? Even people on the GOP side seemed to accept that Trump was going to lose, so I'd say 'no'. Sometimes the polls are wrong, sometimes you just get surprising results.
