Shbobdb posted:If a core part of my messaging was constantly calling for revolution and smashing the Five Olds, people would absolutely have a right to call me out on it and tone it down. Why? Like if you ran for president on the platform of "captitalism is hosed and I want to do anything I can to lessen its impact and improve things for others", do you unironically think you should be silenced?

The problem is while it leaves the original number of early voting days intact, it also removes the minimum hour requirement so individual county election boards which are all majority republican can vote to reduce hours or limit the number of early voting sites, as some already have.

im an atheist and the constant christian messaging can at times be annoying, and it think its bullshit how you pretty much could not run for political office as an atheist.i also have of opinions on religion and poo poo. these concerns barely effect my life and rarely if ever do i ever them thought unless its specifically in a conversation on the issue of religion. Hilary's religious nature is of 0 concern to anyone.

I would honestly enjoy a debate over Clinton's rhetoric, which is why I keep asking for specific words, sentences, paragraphs, or speeches to debate. Sadly all we get from the b-school commie is a false appeal to authority from David Brooks of all people

I dislike strong religious arguments that imply the superiority of the religion over others from political officials. Anyone who says 'we need to make this a Christian nation" or whatnot straight-up makes me genuinely uncomfortable. But if someone is merely arguing from the position of their faith for good works or whatever then that's their position. There's no meaningful difference to me between "we should help the poor because that is what Jesus would do" and "we should help the poor because it's morally justified and right."

Yeah. There's enough legitimately evil stuff in the world today where if somebody wants to be compassionate and care for their fellow man/woman I don't really care why they're doing it.

Long story, but I married a jew and there is a strong possibility that my grandmother was an adopted jew which would make me one by default. Mostly I just thought it was a fun play on words though since i registered like a week after my wife and I saw it on netflix.

I believe the phrase is: "Better than nothing." While early voting is probably going to be reduced in this case, the lack of an ID requirement is huge. It also sets a precedent that says "You gently caress with this and we'll shut it down."

Yeah I mean this is a country where religion has been used as one of the main weapons to fight tooth and nail against every single progressive movement. The left is, for the first time perhaps since the Civil War, pairing religion with a real call for a more just society. Progressives should celebrate that.

ImpAtom posted:Why? If I kept shoehorning Mao into every speech I gave on BLM, I could see people saying I should tone it down. My views on Black Liberation may be informed by Maoist philosophy but there is no reason to bring it up all the time. I could also understand ardent capitalists being made very uncomfortable by an outspoken Communist and it seriously eroding their support of my platform.

This is why I'm not particularly afraid of Trump's chances. I'm uneasy about it, sure, but Hillary hasn't begun to fight yet.

Ron Jeremy posted:Didn't the Vikings fire Kluwe over some minorly woke poo poo he said? Yes and no. He was an average, if not below average punter in the year prior to him being released, so it's easily argued it was because of that. Really, I think it's a bit of both, partially because he was vocal about things that he "shouldn't be", partially because wasn't as good as he once was.

What's there to talk about on her rhetoric? She's not known as a good speaker. Pretty much all of her speeches follow the same script: it's a perfectly serviceable technocratic infodump where Jesus being real and telling her to do things is included in along with a list of precise figures and accomplishments. It's jarring and weird and leaves a seriously bad taste in my mouth.

Lol you complain that we won't let you critique her rhetoric then when given that space, just say "uh nothing to say but she sucks end of story" Also can you quote once where she actually said Jesus told her to do something (ala evangelicals)?
