Here's a puzzler for you, the alt right got its hands on an internal Clinton camp memo on how to engage with BLM activists, and they are losing their minds over it: see if you can guess why axeil posted:Holy loving poo poo. Rae Carruth is a legitimate monster. Honestly, I don't see much difference between not standing for the pledge of allegiance and hiring a hitman to murder your pregnant girlfriend.

Shbobdb posted:Most left wing Christians I know keep a gun and a Bible by their bedstand for the same reason: they hope they never have to use it but it's there in case of an emergency. Clinton's more active Christianity feels like an appeal to a poisoned brand to me. Lol at the fact you keep pretending Clinton is acting more religious than Obama did in 2008.

iospace posted:It's also why I think Mormons are getting a bit more accepted and not viewed as that "weird cult out of Utah" anymore. A few issues not withstanding (LBGTQ in particular stands out), they are very generous, do legitimate mission work, and believe that treating the unfortunate with respect will work out better in the long run than viewing them as scum of the earth. The mormon church has spent decades running a PR campaign to present themselves as good ol' fashioned Leave It To Beaver style apple pie Americans instead of the sometimes violent weirdo desert cult image they had for the first 100 years of their existence. The former is a lot creepier than the latter.

JeffersonClay posted:https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/770997978538582017 Maybe I'm too much of an optimist, but I feel like things are crazier than they should be in part because everything's so great, and so people are pretty complacent about things. If we were actually in serious economic trouble, Republicans would've actually been serious about the race and not dithered over ten useless establishment candidates while Trump ran rampant. But we're rich and safe and our fears are all messages screamed at us that we internalize but which don't mesh with our reality, so we take frivolous steps to deal with those fears (like voting for a blustery racist) rather than actually determining what would be a solid course of action.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:The government, ladies and gentlemen. When I see these kind of stories I can sense the culture of that office, I can feel the palpable culture of misery and failure and unfunded mandates. Its approaching that every government failure is a common misconfiguration and/or elected tampering. We as a country have to start owning our governments failures instead of pretending the government t is an intern we can blame for our societal failures and then fire like that will solve the problem.

I just suspect Trump is going to get some sort of shrugging approval for his new softball virtual wall and call it a victory for the Art of the Deal. I don't understand why he's doing an all Mexican media press conference though.

Rygar201 posted:How loving stupid are you? Obama has bee openly and explicitly Christian on many occasions, and that's not even close to the Clinton campaigns pitch. The dude is well read and was exposed to all kinds of religious traditions growing up. I don't know for a fact, but if I had to bet, I'd say that he doesn't actually believe but is willing to participate because of the power of the church as a social institution. Particularly the black church in the south side of Chicago.

The second thing you learn is not to make novel claims about what the candidate's policies are. Both true, but they don't care. It's a nice excuse to claim that they're just angrying up the negroes to wipe out the white man and poison Lord Trump-sama's totally not-fascist message. Cythereal posted:And I can assure you that, speaking as someone who goes to a left-wing Christian church, it's been going over very well. There's a lot of frustration and even a bit of real anger in left-wing Christian denominations and churches over how Christianity in the public media means Tea Party, White Lives Matter, and Westboro Baptist. Same here. It's nice to hear the religion actually used as something positive rather than the usual justification for all the worst impulses of Republicans.

Not US news per se, but I will be interested in seeing the reaction from Clinton and Obama now that Brazil's democratically elected president was impeached and removed from office and replaced by a right wing guy mired in corruption scandals who is legally barred from running for office for 8 years. The whole thing is gross.

The former is a lot creepier than the latter. I went to a beach house where a bunch of Mormon couples got invited and I had to end up sleeping on the couch and put all my stuff in the shared living area because none of them could sleep in the same beds as they weren't married yet so they took up double the rooms despite there being like four or five. It was pretty annoying especially since one of them was an rear end in a top hat that only did the '50s white bread America thing when he was around other Mormons and otherwise was a huge douche that drank and hosed all the time.

They should not and I'd expect similar language in any memo from any campaign about meeting with any interest group BUT The reason they highlighted that is it proves that Hillary/Dems are just pandering to the black vote and don't have any interest in actually helping BLM.
