I usually watch the first / sometimes second segment before switching over to Colbert, but whenever one of his sidekicks is playing one of their lovely unfunny characters I immediately tune out and they brought one of those like 3 minutes in last night.

Regardless of reparations, Sanders' support among minorities is gently caress-awful. Its why he's able to poll reasonably close to Clinton in lily-white Iowa and New Hamsphire, but is going to get Berned in Nevada (Clinton has a 30% lead) and South Carolina (40%).

Can they just give TNS to NDT? There would be no shortage of material for at least the next 10 months.

Did not know how hosed up Chicago was back then for example. I don't understand how Bernie doesn't have the minority vote though. He's got the vote of everybody I know my age, he's got the vote of all my texas raised veteran friends, he's got the vote for a huge majority of our local college population. I feel like the polls are just horridly skewed as they've always been. Selective polling to enforce the narrative these people want. Where else is the minority vote going to go? Not to trump, not to Hillary, surely. Echo Chamber posted:NDT's mic drop. That was amusing. IRQ posted:But yeah Startalk is ambien. I love NDT, and listen to Startalk on my commute.

The standout moments for me this week were Carly Fiorina's anti-abortion stunt, Roy Wood Jr. wanting to bang a Golden Girl, and me cringing at Ronnie Chieng's gimmick. I can tell he can be utilized better and needs to stop the whole "abandoned son" schtick. It's dreadful. His same-sex marriage report was fine until he started with that poo poo.

If my brief foray into the election subforum was any indication, Clinton supporters seem to view Sanders supporters with nothing short of complete contempt. The feeling seems to be entirely mutual.

He's got the vote of everybody I know my age, he's got the vote of all my texas raised veteran friends, he's got the vote for a huge majority of our local college population. Never has someone complained about how skewed the polling aggregate is and been accurate. Also the idea that minorities hate Clinton is just silly. Is Bernie a better option for them? That is the opinion of quite a few people and is not a wrong opinion to have. But Hillary isn't bad for them and she does have more of a political history with minorities readily available for consumption. Remember that in 2008 she was crushing Obama with minorities until after he won Iowa. There's lots and lots of factors that converge into Clinton starting off with a majority share of the minority vote, not least of which is that she's far better known. There is no conspiracy or trickery involved. As a whole, minority groups currently favor Clinton over Sanders. raditts posted:Somebody I know has been talking about how she is voting for Hillary based upon how "Bernie bros" act online. I'm sure there's some insufferable contingent of Sanders supporters as there is for every candidate, but is it to a Ron Paul-ish degree where they've earned a label for themselves? Yes, especially in the beginnings of the argument that Bernie had issues with minorities. It was cringworthy even beyond the usual levels of idiocy exhibited by hard core supporters of a politician. When the Black Live Matter ladies took the stage in protest before his speech on medicare in, I think, Seattle it just went insane. Imagine a bunch of rich, young, white college kids angrily explaining to Black and Latino people why they were wrong for not feeling the Bern. On Twitter.

Full House and Saved By The Bell were trash but kids who watched them didn't know any better and thus loved them. Golden Girls is an 80s sitcom, sure, so you have to allow for that. but it still holds up pretty well. Bea Arthur could kill you with a look and didn't even need the zingers. I enjoy watching it.

I used to enjoy watching reruns of it when such at home on summer afternoons with nothing better on between Who's the Boss and whatever else they used to show. It's the second best tv theme I can recite verbatim behind Fresh Prince.

Awfully convienient that this narrative is being pushed in favor of a candidate whose messaging seems to be exclusively "Hey guys, I know I'm basically a Republican with an insatiable lust for power, but wouldn't it be neat to have a woman president?" I mean, for gently caress's sake, you've got a guy who marched for civil rights before it was the hip thing to do versus Hillary Clinton. Why would any self respecting progressive hitch their wagon to her based on some mean old Tweets from some anonymous douche you'll never meet or ever see again?

The Berniebros meme is more effective at attacking Befnie from the left than calling out his lukewarm gun control effort. Otherwise, they got nothing that hasn't been used eight years ago against Obama. I remembered that during the Month of Zen marathon how people in D&D forgot just how vicious Clintons were willing to get to stop Obama. They even played the whole "my opponent would make a great VP" card but when a Bernie staffer said the same thing a few months ago...

Why can't people just admit that Hillary actually is an American liberal? She's not the model liberal, but the idea that she's just a DINO looking to satiate her power fetish is ridiculous. There's shitloads more to actually attack her on than stupid Shillary the stealth Republican weaksauce.

If Hillary is what passes for a liberal (liberal and democrat are not the same thing) in this country we have some huge loving problems we have some huge loving problems. And in what ways is she not a say-anything power hungry corporate shill? Bill was too, for what it's worth. Bernie is believable, which at least gives him a leg up even if I wasn't even further to the left than he is. e: not saying she wouldn't be better than anything out of the clown car.
