Mimi's subsummation into the Western alt-right is now complete. The competition in that space is a lot harder than in the neo-fascist Assad camp so I hope she's also slowly vanishing.

It's been complete. She hit 100% synchronization when she started mixing gamergate into her Syria rants.

i guess im just making assumptions about your beliefs and convictions, but if before the election they involved any type of empathy or solidarity or just a generalised desire to make things better for people, you shouldn't throw that out of the window just because you lost.

gather all your willpower and tone back 'they voted for this, so gently caress 'em' to just 'they voted for this'

My empathy with the ones who vote Republican has always been nil because as I see it they are wrecking my chances at a future that isn't poo poo pay with no healthcare and dying before I retire.
I want them to be better but empathy and caring about them only goes so far when no matter how much you try to educate the individual they'll still knee jerk back to the gop when it's convenient.

gently caress em is my viewpoint because I can't do anything to save them from themselves. it's more important to focus on educating those who are apolitical into caring than to give half a drat about republicans.

i could've said that probably not all coal miners voted for trump (or voted at all) either, if you prefer that angle. but that's ultimately irrelevant because the point i was making is that - brace yourself - it's bad when people suffer and it should be avoided at all costs. it's definitely not something you should be happy about - just imo tho i find it hard to get into the paradoxical mindset of liberals so i can't really see it from your angle.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Ken Bone is probably the closest any coal person got to voting dem. The industry is probably blasting to everyone that dems will destroy their jobs and replace it with nothing

thanks to their votes there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. the dems can't force the Republican majorities in both houses of Congress to extend it, and that matters a whole lot more than the tone of a headline that none of these coal miners are ever going to see anyway

In fact, right now it is very important to make very sure they make the coal miners aware that it is all Republicans' fault, so we don't get a repeat of "Obamacare is too expensive for me because my state's Republican governor rejected the Medicaid expansion that was supposed to cover me, gently caress the Democrats"

what does this have to do with what i was saying? im not objecting to the tone of an article, im objecting to the whole 'it's their own fault so gently caress 'em' reasoning which has been backed in this very thread and which seems to be the current post-election loss state of the democrats. and you can try to sell what you want to these people, they're not going to be inclined to listen to you if you immediately turn around and explicitly say you don't give a poo poo about them and that they deserve any type of suffering they get.

It's one thing to acknowledge that they're getting what they voted for, because they're out-of-touch and easily misled by demagogues like Trump. It's another to revel in someone else's suffering. That's kind of ghoulish.:stare:
