Goddamnit now where will I find that kind of laser focus pedantrySquashing Machine posted:Yeah, that's exactly what's happening, not someone equating making fun of overly dramatic reactions to the election and the banning of C-SPAM posters to a hate crime against trans people Yeah okay, I'm sure you feel that way, but again no one is actually being prevented from joking. I'm personally pretty okay with saying the person calling others "retards" is human trash. Also pretty cool that you get to be arbiter of what is and is not overly dramatic, how did you land that gig? PKJC fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Nov 10, 2016 |

zegermans posted:I guess I shouldn't have told them that I was going to relish conservatives dying as a direct consequence of their vote (healthcare/labor protection, etc), but I was mad darnit. Yeah, probably. De-escalating is probably better. It'll suck, but an apology and saying "that comment was out of line, I was mad and admit it" may go a long way toward making your jobsite tolerable again. Connecting with people, as people, is usually a good thing. Even if they're the worst kind of people.

Kilroy posted:For what it's worth the way things were going I think progressives and leftists were going to slowly take over the party anyway. Hillary was the candidate but she wasn't the future of the party and the writing was kind of on the wall with that even before she lost. I think the good part is that the Sanders campaign and the party platform that resulted from it has given Dems a good head-start in that direction. The next few years are going to be awful but I think the Dems relied too much on having a President that could block GOP legislation like hockey pucks and let downticket efforts atrophy as a result, and realized far too late that Dem voters were only excited about Obama and not the party as a whole. It's gonna be an uphill battle but I'd like to believe that Dems can come out of this a stronger party in the longterm. The GOP is going to pull all sorts of nasty poo poo to suppress the vote but none of that matters if the Dems can just figure out how to drive turnout. For all the talk about how voter suppression won Trump the election, the state margins he won by were small and could have been overcome by even half of Obama's turnout level.

If Russia actually did help out Trump or have blackmail material on him or whatever, they might release that in January to send the US government into further disarray. This guy is not just saying these things for the gently caress of it - there is a reason.

PKJC posted:^ gently caress did fishmech permatoxx? Goddamnit now where will I find that kind of laser focus pedantry Nice try. Making light of someone isn't the same as telling them they can't do something. Everyone is allowed to Chicken Little it up about the election result, and we're allowed to laugh about that. Also, I never defended using the word "retard" or any other slur, just that it's exactly the kind of lame argument-winning tactic to immediate start screaming about marginalized groups when you feel targeted by jokes in a way that you don't like.

Lowtax for business reason should probably make it so permatoxxers just have to pay 20-30$ to get back in.

I think it's gonna be cool af when the world economy collapses due to a combination of Trump shutting down international trade and climate change loving up agriculture forever. It'll be like a big ol' camping trip because nobody in my age group will be able to afford housing  Instead of playing video games, I will have to kill a real bear with a real sword, because it wandered into my shantytown.

So privacy is even more dead now too, right? GOP was all in favor of NSA programs and encryption backdoors and poo poo. How long until we're openly (as opposed to pretending we're not) spying on Americans and using 4th amendment breaking stuff in courts on the regular?

NutritiousSnack posted:Likewise the counties that gave Trump the election VOTED OBAMA in both 2008 and 2012. How did white supremacy let white men vote for a black person twice but not a white person this time? race is an undeniable component in this election, but let's not muddle things. counties going for trump that went for obama isn't indicitave of a non-racist white electorate, merely that the marginally democrat white voters didnt feel the fear of persecution as a result of the election and were otherwise unmotivated by clinton so stayed home

Pragmatism is certainly a valid way to handle professional relations but it's also not an or situation and awful people should not get even the most slight of passes for their awful actions. Report terrible people to HR where reasonable to do so.

Getting a candidate together who not only can stand tough against Trump but is also visionary and engaging is going to be tough in 3 years. But we must fight.

Also we should probably arm ourselves.

Maybe one day you'll realize this and try not to be so horrible but I don't think any of us will be holding our breath on that. It's because this is the same hysterical reaction that the right wing has had to the two previous elections, and we made fun of their doomsaying and wailing too. But somehow, this result is so insanely serious that even making light of it in a generalized way is the worst sin ever and a direct attack on identities whose names are being used like some sort of power word. It's the very definition of being able to dish it out, but not being able to take it.
