Yeah I was refering to the general voting populace.
After Trump won in with a campaign based on racism, bigotry, sexism and general awfulness, my faith in the US voters has been shattered.
Yeah I was refering to the general voting populace.
Nearly everyone on the internet in 2019 is either irony-poisoned or sincerity-poisoned to some degree, with very few in between. This site is generally a magnet for the latter.It's occurred to me there is an over-representation on this board of people that that are not capable of detecting irony.
If the Presidential votes in 2030 play out the way the House popular vote in 2018 did, Trump loses. Wisconsin appears to be the median swing state.Are there enough sensible, level headed, non-racist people left in America to actually get rid of Trump?
Because honestly I'm not so sure anymore.
In what world is stating objective facts such as the average male lifespan in the United States is 78.6 and that Sanders will be 79 in 2020 which should be a concern to voters "superficial mudslinging"?
I want you to specifically explain, in detail, why and how that is mudslinging.
My 6 year old wouldn't eat her broccoli after seeing Bernie sew division in the Dem primary. She looked at me and said "Daddy, Kamala Harris had no choice but to uphold our broken criminal justice system." I couldn't bear to see the tears in her eyes.One of my favorite phenomenons here is when someone posts something dumb from irony-twitter and it just completely misses a bunch of posters or breaks their brains. I'm pretty sure half of ERA is just your parents posting on a bunch of different accounts.
Speaking of Twitter the number one thing I'm looking forward to about Bernie running is the new wave of Woke Toddlers. I wish I could find the original "My daughter spit at the tv because of Bernie's misogyny" tweet.
You know that black people like Clarence Thomas and Herman Cain and gay people like Milo and women like Jan Brewer and Mary Fallin exist, right?I dont have any idea of those things. All I know is Bernie is the one causing disarray with offensive bullshit like this comment today:
"We have got to look at candidates not by the color of their skin, not by their sexual orientation or gender, and not by their age. I think we have got to try to move us toward a nondiscriminatory society that looks at people based on their abilities, based on what they stand for."
Tell Bernie to stop being an out of touch asshole on racial and gender issues and I will happily be more accepting of him.
Eh, she was on two episodes in quick succession two years ago when people were really trying to understand what the deal with the alt-right was. She has only proved herself to be a simplistic reactionary identity politics goon who was consumed by staring into the Alt-right Jordan Peterson void in the time since, and I highly doubt she will ever be back on. The hosts don't seem to agree with her or take her seriously.Continually having somebody on your podcast and never actually pushing back their dumbass takes because you know half your fandom are white dudes who are upset with identity politics because the only leftism they care about is their leftism is actually not good. I'm all for leftism, but actual leftism, not the leftism that excuses the racism of white people because of economic anxiety.
No, what actually is identity politics is when BernieBro's try to say Nina Turner, a nobody State Senator who is only known because she supported Bernie, should be VP.
She had already written her "the alt-right is just a bunch of understood white boys who would totally be leftists if not for political correctness" book though.

if you really believe that then all that other grandstanding you're doing is meaningless
whatever man.

After 2016, the Midwest will be taken a lot more seriously. Florida Florida Florida is still a key swing state, but Trump would have won 2016 even without Florida. It was the midwest that won it for him, and the dem nom needs to spend more than half their time up there campaigning imo. If time is an unchanged variable, spend more in the Midwest and less in FloridaIf the Presidential votes in 2030 play out the way the House popular vote in 2018 did, Trump loses. Wisconsin appears to be the median swing state.
Mind showing me where I discredited his political positions? Because I most certainly didn't do that. If this is your explanation for calling my comment "superficial mudslinging" it's pretty lacking and hinges on a false assumption.You're discrediting good political positions because someone is old and god forbid he passed in office, I'd rather he do that and pass a legacy of sound policy to the next generation, than died as a senator.
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.

whoever she does will be huge
She probably won't endorse anyone until riiiiiiight before the primary is won so most of the candidates will shift left to fight for it.
My guess is yes
it's ironic how the career independent is more of a democrat than many of its party loyalists
Exactly. People were out their loose with no class consciousness in mind. They just wanted their team to win, havenots be damned. Centre-right doesn't work for everyone and is unappealing after we survived that recession.It's amazing the number of posts going "HE'S NOT A REAL DEMOCRAT!"
No different then the tribal bullshit on the Republifuck side.
The truth hurts. There's a reason his primary '16 opponents swaggerjacked his platform and the entire Democratic Party was playing catch up. An outsider literally had to come in and G-check the Democratic Party. Now Bernie's platform is the default, we were right all along kicko.I'm a Democrat, and I strongly dislike Sanders (even though I would obviously vote for him in a GE).
As per your Trump comment: Fuck Off.
At worst, it's saying "don't be ageist towards me."There's a context to him saying that today and it's not him talking about Herman Cain or Jan fucking Brewer. It's him QQing and trying to equate age with racism and sexism in his case, which is laughable. He's also possibly implying people might support Kampala or Corey or someone because of their color.
It's really fucking tone deaf from a white guy.

Jesus fuck.....And people wonder why Bernie supporters have a terrible reputation.
Everyone running for office right now just suddenly decided to support M4A thanks to a collective come-to-god moment?Jesus fuck.....And people wonder why Bernie supporters have a terrible reputation.

Oh, do elaborate.Jesus fuck.....And people wonder why Bernie supporters have a terrible reputation.
I'm sorry you're so upset. Take some comfort in the fact that the world isn't as simple as you think it is.
I mean Dems have been pretty much wanting universal health care in some form for decades now so i don't see giving Bernie complete credit hereEveryone running for office right now just suddenly decided to support M4A thanks to a collective come-to-god moment?
Where did this response come from?Jesus fuck.....And people wonder why Bernie supporters have a terrible reputation.
