Tryna do a nice unit about civics and now you gotta explain what a blowie is I remember being in the sixth grade around then and having to do a report on presidents and I got Bill Clinton. I had to ask if I had to talk about the scandal too because I wasn't sure what to do and my teacher was like "Uhhhh, nothing's conclusive yet so leave it out for now, haha." It did solidify my (mostly) positive opinion of his presidency, though, which is good because I was surrounded by kids who were parroting what their parents were saying and made fun of me for getting stuck with ~Clinton~. edit: wait gently caress, I was in 4th grade, not 6th.

I played the role of Bill Clinton in my social studies class's mock presidential debate and worked really hard on my impression of him. I really liked doing the fist-thumb thing and saying "I'ma build a bridge" with the lip bite. And then some dumb kid got mad at me being picked because "there's no such thing as a girl president." Who's laughing now, Bryce.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Since I don't trust Goldwater here to click links, let me just spell out that one of the many things that gay conversion therapy does is attempt to create a pavlovian sense of aversion to homosexual arousal. Imagine being forced to view porn until you became erect and then tortured, physically tortured, until you associate that agony with arousal and lose your ability to enjoy sex. You want a link? Okay here's a link. http://deadstate.org/man-commits-suicide-after-court-ordered-christian-drug-treatment-program-tried-to-un-gay-him/ I found this on this very forum about a year ago. I might be a troll or an idiot but I know all too well what these kinds of monsters do. I was hoping - praying? - that the Religious Right was dying. Trump seemed to have split them as much as he did other Republicans. So I'm sorry to the transgender or homosexual posters here for being ignorant. Maybe that doesn't mean much but I hope you can believe I will be voting for Clinton.

FilthyImp posted:Alternately, he's shrewd enough to realize his caricature of "dumb bumbling buffoon puppeteered by Emperor Palpatine" grants him enough folksy cover to be let off the hook as long as he does a bunch of "Normal guy" poo poo. To be really honest I suspect his new cuddly demeanor is brain damage from the alcoholism relapse. I dunno I just don't feel that white-hot hate for him anymore. There's too much going on in the present.

Trabisnikof posted:This is what frustrates me most about the isolationist left. They declare US action in Syria as militaristic warmongering and US inaction in Rwanda as shameful cowardice. There is also a strain that has more than a bit of colonial thinking (bordering on racism) and Americocentrism, which thinks that every hotspot in the world is our fault, which is about as ridiculous as the "America is the Holy Force of Righteousness and Democracy" view of the right. Yes, we do gently caress up a lot of stuff (war in Iraq being a big recent example), but ultimately people do things based on what they think affects their families and their countries, and our abilities to influence them are actually pretty limited. What's more, they often do things that are extremely courageous, to great personal risk and cost to themselves, and reducing everything to effects of our actions is utterly disrespectful. Edit: I feel like I didn't really explain it well enough... to me, people who think "we can wave our hands and presto! Democracy in Iraq!" and people who think "we can wave our hands and presto! Civil War to protect filthy capitalists against an unclear threat" are both making the same mistake of looking down on -- or simply ignoring existence of -- millions of people who make up a country, its institutions, that fight in its wars and form their communities and civic society.

Though it is somewhat strange to consider that if Hillary wins 2 terms, there could be kids turning 18 and voting who have no real memories of an old white dude being president. Kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

It's deadly serious this election and it's probably only going to get worse. The only way to get some of the worms back into the can is with Clinton obliterating Trump not only in the EC but in the popular vote too. Trump is out of his mind and Pence is a loving monster. Grab as many people as you can and vote against them.

My dad almost got into a fight with one when he didn't return the key phrase, but instead audibly call him a dipshit under his breath.

The problem is that despite how many exist around the more woodland areas of VA, they're going to be outvoted by Northern VA wanting stable government money to keep flowing as usual. But now they also have to contend with their wives, a more active non-white voting base and of course Kaine home teaming.

The urban crescent contains 70% of the population and votes strongly Democratic thanks to a combination of a high black population and highly-educated whites with strong ties to functional government; not only that, but even the Republicans in these areas tend to be country-club old schoolers offended by Trump's blatancy. It won't even be close.

Yeah I started middle school in 2003, and kids were talking about sex in great detail all the time. If the Lewinsky scandal happened then my friends would've never shut up about it.

I grew up across the street from a convent/retirement home that was also the local polling place, and voted for Clinton's reelection when I was four by coloring in his face and not Dole's or Perot's. I lived in vague, faint terror of the nuns because I think I assumed their role in the senescence process had to be fairly sinister. Also I watched 9/11 on an 80s hi-fi front-projection CRT TV (this kinda deal) my elementary school had relegated as far as the dingiest corner of the gym but couldn't quite muster up the willpower to finally dispose of (those things weigh more than Trump, lol). It was in that corner all five years I was there; the only time it was ever turned on was for 9/11. Just added to the weirdo unrealness of that whole event.

NikkolasKing posted:I don't want Trump to be president mainly due to the fact he's an idiotic, narrow-minded jackass. You have people predicting literal fascism here in America and World War III. Isn't our government set up to protect against those kinds of things? The myth the president is all-powerful has been discussed and debunked in this very thread. The Congress is where the power lies. If you care about Congress then definitely go vote dude. Romney beat Obama in Texas by 16 points, Hillary is only trailing Trump by 7. That's a 9-point swing! If that translates to downballot tickets through increased Democratic turnout, normally-Republican Hispanics casting gently caress-you-GOP-for-supporting-Trump votes down the ticket, and/or Republican women staying home that puts 55-45 gerrymandered congressional districts in play. We could see badly-needed house districts flipping D, you could help that happen!
