Please be more respectful, poor John couldn't firebomb even one civilian in vietnam
Imagine being such a "moderate Republican" that you're more concerned of Trump's racism making you look bad than you are of, oh gee I dunno, Trump being racist.
Imagine looking at a mirror, saying that to your reflection, and somehow go to bed completely unfazed by your own supernova-level hot take.

His war hero stint was a voluntary role in the Vietnam War and then later learned nothing as he wanted to bomb Iran and voted for the Iraq War.
His biggest moment of "civility" is saying no Mr. Obama is not an Arab, he's a good man as if those are mutually exclusive.
.. Her father was a major politician, not a businessman. She'd have a platform regardless if she wanted it.
a) Her mother is the heiress to a beer fortune. She was born into incredible wealth and privilege even over what she'd have as the child of a US Senator, and is even more out of touch.
b) Not all children of politicians have platforms by default. It's not a foregone conclusion that every child of a Congressperson would go on television to spew endless bile.
What's your angle here?
she and Chelsea Clinton should go have a spoiled heiress cry together about how Trump has made it politically incorrect to smear the black hijabi who doesn't love Israel
A) She doesn't have her platform because of her mom's beer money. She's on the view because she's John McCain's daughter.
B) Not all politicians have John McCain's national profile nor do all children of the few politicians that do want a public platform. The ones that do can, and often do, just pick up a phone and show up on your screen the very same evening.
Edit: Meghan McCain wouldn't have her spot on that show if her father hadn't run against and lost to 2008 Barack Obama specifically. She'd be another face in the crowd occasionally showing up to talk to pundits.
My angle is that not every problem goes away because you've toppled capitalism. Maybe pursue additional solutions?
"the real problem of racist incitement coming from the president is that it would make it harder for me to concern troll about the ideas of the targets of said racist incitement"
that's certainly a take
its true that i hadnt really thought how this was all affecting meghan mccain. im gonna have do some reflecting on this.
"the real problem with overt racism is that it leaves no place for my more subtle racism."
""But the problem right now is, you're taking away my agency to criticize her policy."
Is that the problem right now Meghan?

B-b-b-bingo!!
This is probably the most pathetic complaint I have ever heard someone in the media make, like, no words for how utterly dumb and lacking in self-awareness it is.
She's pissed off she can't bitch about Omar being against Israeli policy because now it makes her sound racist if she criticizes her because Trump's crew wants to ship her out of the country.
The anti-Trump Republicans are pissed they can't practice their Islamaphobia without being linked to racism, even though it has always been about racism.
Trump being racist means you can't talk about policy? I don't buy it. Talk about policy all you want.
"I'm not a racist, Omar is a racist!" is not a policy.
"I'm not a racist, Omar is a racist!" is not a policy.
She's an absolute waste of cum basically. A talentless warmonger coasting on her father's name.
John McCain wasn't all that either, the highlights of his life being two aerial disasters, one where he was shot down and captured and the other was wet starting his fighter jet to show off and killing a lot of aircraft carrier crew.

She then proceeded to pull her father's corpse out of an extradimensional pocket and ride it like a skateboard for nineteen minutes.
Oy vey.
Oy vey.
In McCain's case, there's not a clear delineation between what she got from her father's political clout and her mother's wealth. You are trying to draw some kind of distinction where there is none.
I'm coming at it from the angle that, by putting someone as stupid as Meghan McCain, someone who has achieved nothing, who was handed everything from both mother and father, it's demonstrably harmful to society. There are talking heads on TV who are accomplished, and self-made, and though I might disagree with them, they have to some extent earned those positions. McCain hasn't earned anything. She's not a good broadcaster. Her commentary is not intelligent or informed. She has no on-screen charisma; in fact her manner is grating and off-putting. And her positions are as awful as the Fox News ghouls, just with less-blatant racism.
Under American capitalism, generational wealth and privilege has allowed such incompetents to thrive. Meghan McCain is one example of this. Donald Trump antother. Failchildren of the bourgeois class. I don't know that abandoning capitalism can save us from the harm these people are doing to our society, but they have us fighting endless wars, destroying the planet through climate change, caging refugees, and letting millions starve, or die from preventable illnesses. We owe it to our children, and grandchildren, to topple the systems that allow these people to wreck such havoc. Maybe we don't solve every problem but you would have us throw our hands up and say, "better things aren't possible" without making a serious attempt? Fuck that.
Don't stump speech at me. My point is that stupid people getting a platform because of their famous parent isn't a capitalism problem, it's a nepotism problem and you running into the topic to fix this wrench problem with only a hammer as your tool is missing the damn point. Nepotism exists and has existed in every system. It's the same shit as Republicans using 'socialism' as a synonym for everything bad. The difference being that this is actually relevant to the situation at times as opposed to their mad ravings.
Moreover, there is a god damn delineation. You don't see any of the Waltons getting long term positions on television. Because they're ludicrously wealthy, but they aren't individually famous. McCain is on the view because she parlayed her father's fame into a career, not her mother's money. Tearing down capitalism does shit all to prevent that.
As for this part
Work on your fucking reading comprehension, yeah?
Also? You ain't cute deleting a block of text from my previous post. That edit was made within two minutes and you quoted me almost two hours later, so don't pretend like you just missed the edit.
