They got a thread about recent cop shooting and they just keep going with blaming "Obama and his minions" and "BLM/NAACP/CAIR/La Raza/whodafukcares".

The problem is that telling daily douchebags to gently caress off accomplishes nothing except making the thread harder to read. If the moderators don't ban racists then it wont change. Everything else (including this comment) is positive reinforcement to them.

ImpAtom posted:Sander's base is at best very similar to Clinton and you can make enthusiasm arguments but taking for granted that Sanders would have the exact same enthusiasm as Clinton is unjustified. He might have more support among millennials and less among older voters or done more poorly with black voters or a lot of other things that are plausible but unprovable because Bernie Sanders was not the candidate and we can only make assumptions. The idea that the (tied for) least popular politician in America is doing exactly as well as the most popular politician in America would have done in her place is batty. Yes, it's a counterfactual, but so is insisting that while the rollout of your new 'asphalt and dead skunk' flavored ice cream has gone poorly, strawberry ice cream wouldn't have sold any better.

Craptacular! posted:Immigration is like my one right-wing position and I was totally on board with Sanders and with Obama (who I think has handled it extremely well by raiding agriculture records and taking away the ability for undocumented people to earn a living.) In general, socialist-lefty people know that socialism can't sustain itself with a huge influx of needy people vastly outnumbering the number of people who are going to support them. So what's your response to this type of perspective on immigration: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/immigrants-are-keeping-america-young-and-the-economy-growing/ I can imagine that there may be a hypothetical maximum rate of immigration that would overwhelm the country's capacity to absorb it if we just totally opened the borders... but I don't know that anyone has come remotely close to putting a well-informed number on that, and as a general rule, it seems like most economists and other experts are of the opinion that immigration is a net positive. The fact that it's forestalling the demographic emergency of our aging population seems especially compelling to me. And, frankly, I think it's just the right thing to do from a moral perspective to allow in as many people as we can feasibly handle. (It's either that or everyone who's not a descendant of the various indigenous American peoples should gently caress off out of North and South America.) Obviously we do need to do a better job of supporting workers who are displaced by trends in immigration, trade, technology, and so on, but I think addressing that challenge head-on is the right path, not attempting to strictly limit immigration just because that's simpler.

For the record i do not think any race is inferior biologically or culturally than any other race. This does not matter to either you or i and does nothing to further our discussion of US Politics. But i ignored the first two "call outs" of this and i wasnt prepared to accept a third. If you feel like talking about this ill spring for platinum and not clog the thread.

It could only ever be fun to run racists out on a rail if you're a white dude approaching it like a game as opposed to a PoC to whom this is just a regular, tiring facet of life. Also, they all consider themselves master loving trolls so trying to shame them out of the thread does jack and poo poo. Probations/bans are the only thing that could stop them and when that doesn't happen they are free to just constantly jump in and try to poo poo up the thread.
