I know you're joking but I've heard that stuck on some of my friends who did the same thing. Really not the best way to pull neutral parties to your side. Watching the entire mainstream media and large chunks of liberal society meltdown for the last half year has been extremely entertaining but I really wanted to watch Hillarys piss fit when she lost on election night. Does the book go into any of that?

"Well, she did have policy decisions, they were all on her website."

Nuts to that bullshit. If a politician isn't dying to tell you about all of the good ideas they have that they can't wait to tell you all about them, the average voter won't give two damns about looking it up on their own.

Websites are for covering the finer details, not a polite way of saying "you look it up, pleb."

Someone in CSPAM had an awesome post about just how much poo poo you had to sift through on her website just to get to a concrete policy position.

This is another thing Sanders had her totally beat on and one of the many reasons I think he would have won against Trump. Every time he spoke he basically went into stump speech mode. It got almost tiresome but you knew exactly why he was running and what his platform was.

America is basically hosed until a viable labor party emerges and that might happen by the time I'm dead of old age if we're lucky.

Yeah.... I look at US politics and what's going on in Europe and I think that we're kinda sorta doomed. No use fighting it.

You know, this stuff have been boiling for decades and we probably could have prevented all of this, but the last couple administrations failed to do any course-correction so here we are. We've kinda crossed the Rubicon.

I get a kick out of the folks who say they're "the resistance" and are pretending they're in a Star Wars movie fighting the Evil Empire. Okay, so rule #1 about being in an actual resistance movement \ rebellion is you don't put it on a bumper sticker on your car or post it on Facebook because that makes you an enemy of the state. Oh yeah, and actual rebels kill people and get killed themselves so I hope you're prepared for that. We got a lot of incredibly deluded people who think they can be "heroic" "freedom fighters" by throwing around hashtags and playing pretend.

Hotter take than most: H.Clinton had no experience as an executive in government and in fact, very little public service experience at all. (A total of 12 years, 1/3rd of which was unelected)

loving the governor/president doesnt count as a public position, and considering Slick Willys affinity for the interns, im not even sure she was still doing that one job. We probably could have had single payer health care in the 90s if she had just sucked his dick on the reg.

Fun fact, to qualify to be president you need to win an election, or inherit the position through the line of succession so Hillary demonstrably was not qualified

I don't think that's accurate. I think most goons thought he was an extremely long shot so they didn't toxx for him, and the CSPAM mods were unapologetically ruthless to Sanders posters anywhere but their little posting ghetto thread.

LOL to this day the only rule in the Dems thread (which eventually became the suck thread) is that you're not allowed to talk about how Sanders got robbed by the Dems

This. If you scream long and hard enough it can seem like a majority but when the numbers come in it's a wet fart.

Don't forget that acting like a child throwing tantrums whenever challenged is sure to make people on the fence join your side, because you're shouting the loudest. That's how it works you see.

Top Adviser to Richard Nixon Admitted that 'War on Drugs' was Policy Tool to Go After Anti-War Protesters and 'Black People'

“You want to know what this was really all about,” Ehrlichman, who died in 1999, said, referring to Nixon’s declaration of war on drugs. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying. We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
