Gangsta Boogie posted:lol I wasnt even trying to get into my politics because it sounds like I am some diehard Sanders supporter which is the furthest thing from the truth, he is just the first worthwhile candidate to me, but if you think his platform (which is now adopted) didnt do poo poo for you, and that "marching a few times" for the rights of black people instead of demonizing them or supporting groups that demonize them is not worth as much as coming to your town to put on party and pander to you personally about having hot sauce in his purse, then you kinda deserve things getting any better for you. Yea, his platform in the election in 2016 had nothing to help poor black people. Income inequality is only half of black people's problems. Where was he when BLM was starting up? It wasn't in Alabama. It wasn't in Mississippi. He made what. One, two? appearances?

They will give you oxycodine which is much better. Have fun in the gutter! They will probably only give you 8-12 pills max. You will probably not become a drug fiend from that sadly.

Josh Lyman posted:Trump is now ahead in the RealClearPolitics average of polls. There's nothing inevitable about a Clinton victory. You seem to think this is an intellectual exercise and not a battle for the literal future of the world. At least give the post-convention bumps time to settle before predicting the end of times. But you're right, prior to the RNC his chances did increase, but Hil was still way ahead. The protester's voices are part of the future of the world, which is actually my point. Accusing protesters of sabotaging an election because they don't agree with the party base plays into the narrative that you are in or you are an annoyance and shouldn't have a voice. I don't think that the party of progressive values should encourage that narrative because this is the process by which minority views are marginalized and under-represented. Quorum posted:There was a platform committee made up of members elected by their votes, and it achieved a lot. That it may not have achieved everything they wanted is the essence of democracy. Well then we agree on the not-sabotage (and ultimate inconsequentiality) side of things. I don't agree that it's gross or ugly or about accepting wins. People want to be heard. And relying on entrenched systems- with notable, frequently cited innate inequality structures- to represent those people doesn't always work.

That's why I get so annoyed at the 'agh it's too easy to get them pain pills' answer, because that's the opposite of true and that actively hurts people!

Gangsta Boogie posted:Im not trying to persuade anyone of anything. There is no such possible thing. Privilege is strong and everyone is always right to themselves. I just dont sit back and let people have their party without being called on their poo poo when the time and place is right. And the internet is a much better place to do that then a convention that represents us, so Im doing it. True, you aren't here to persuade. You are just here to endlessly lecture everyone on how much better a person you are than everyone else and pretend to be persecuted when people don't agree with your condescending bullshit. Have you considered contributing to the thread instead of just being self righteous and holier than thou?

Did you also know that black people make up 1% of the population in his state and yet are 11% of the prison population there? How many times has he addressed that? ZERO. So explain to me again how he is any better? I'm sure you won't respond because your petulatant "entitled white people on the internet" burns don't land well on a black dude that grew up in the projects.

But you're right, prior to the RNC his chances did increase, but Hil was still way ahead. Sorry, you don't get to not be a petty piece of poo poo just because you're protesting something you earnestly believe in, and not necessarily even if it's a good thing. BOOing the nominee of your party, for example, could possibly be good if you earnestly believe they're a terrible person, but BOOing anyone remotely associated with her, a practice that seems to have fortunately become less common as the night has progressed, is frankly disgusting-- particularly when so many of them are people who have struggled through difficult circumstances to accomplish good in the world.

also hey just for context reminder that the RNC literally added a plank in their core platform calling PORN a 'public health issue', so yes the DNC treating addiction as one is v. important to some of us who've dealt with that poo poo.
