Leng posted:Most times when I'm having an awful day, I look at Clinton and I feel absolutely inspired, because no matter what sexism I experienced that day, Clinton undoubtedly has it a million times worse - and she just shrugs it off like a boss and keeps going. So, I mean, if it makes you feel better, I think this particular instance is just regular Republican partisan deplorable behavior, and not misogynist deplorable behavior.

Inferior Third Season posted:This email thing resurfacing and the media going along with it despite there being literally nothing to report and it being known that Comey and the FBI haven't even been able to look at these emails yet, so there is zero reason to even suspect anything illegal, is really just classic Republican swiftboating bullshit. It's not really very different than what happened to Kerry. e: Interesting article from the Guardian reporting on a Trump rally: quote:A couple of hundred feet away, in full view of the trucks, thousands of supporters patiently line up to hear their idol. Many of them have been here for hours. Many have small children in tow, including Jillian Major, a school food provider (“I’m a lunch lady”) who has an eight-month-old son in her arms and her daughter, 10, standing by her side. pumpinglemma fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Oct 30, 2016 |

pumpinglemma posted:I think it's not Comey's behaviour that's the issue, but the fact that it even matters. Like, even if the dumbest Republican conspiracy theories about the emails were completely true, she would still be a vastly superior candidate to Trump in every possible way. Yeah, there's really nothing at this point that could come out that would make me think that Hillary is not a vastly superior candidate to Trump. Even if it turned out she really had been killing people like right-wing conspiracy nuts believe. Don't. gently caress. This. Up. America.

Inferior Third Season posted:Kerry was a decorated war veteran, and Bush was a draft dodger, and look at how that was treated by the media and how people saw it. Republicans do this poo poo every time, and people buy into it every time. There has been plenty of misogyny during this campaign, but this is not a good example, because we've seen men dragged through the mud by lies and innuendo plenty of times before. Plus Palin got some of the same leeway Trump is getting now when she was running with McCain. I still think a good part of the anti-Clinton movement is motivated by systemic sexism, but looking at past elections, if Clinton were a man the email poo poo wouldn't look too different, I'd wager.

Looks like during the Weiner investigation for sexting a minor, the FBI came across Abedin's emails as well, some of which are relevant to the Clinton email investigation. Since Comey had previously testified to Congress that the investigation was completed, he felt the need to inform them of the new emails and did that in a stupid way. Thread is now being idiots about this. A good analysis is here: https://www.lawfareblog.com/james-comey-hillary-clinton-and-email-investigation-guide-perplexed

No need to piss all over it just because you have a chip on your shoulder. Not sure if I'd call slavery and genocide a chip on a shoulder, tbh. But of course a message of solidarity with the poor and homeless can still sound inspirational even if it's build on a rotten foundation.

Doing some research on downballot races. The Dem. house candidate in my (suburban Atlanta, safe Republican) district runs what seems to be an unacreddited ramshackle college (named after himself, natch), which makes me immediately suspicious. Should I vote for him anyway, or abstain, knowing that my vote won't change a thing?

It's just too Trump for him to not announce TrumpTV during his live broadcasted concession speech, which will be him ripping into the media, and also pushing the RIGGED!!! narrative which will fuel the first month or two of TrumpTV coverage.

The morning news sure isn't taking a hatchet to Comey today. In my time watching they haven't even mentioned how unusual it is for him to do what he did. Even showing clips of Hillary's response speech without the anti-Comey part, focusing on the "factored in" part.
