There's some rule of being an obnoxious twitter pundit where you're not allowed to just admit fault and correct something, you must either quietly delete the tweet, block everyone, or make your account private.

Oh, the Orient Express that runs from Paris to Istanbul (not Constantinople)?

So a stupid person jumped on a thing she didn't understand to 'call out' racism she inferred because of the aforementioned stupid. Got it.

How the gently caress is "crunchybros" even an insult. Why do these types always revert to made up elementary school words.

Sexism is bad.

I will display my disdain for sexism by making up a deliberately gendered insult by combining a random word with 'bro'.

I don't have any sense of irony.

Furthermore, may I present 'crackerbro' as the next evolution.

She eventually got around to saying that movies cast people in gender- or race-bent roles all the time, and she's not wrong but its also pretty obvious she was trying to escape the idiocy of the initial tweet

There's a lot of idiots out there seem hellbent on eating their own or being actually as nasty, just as nasty as a lot of right winger.

Katie Halper for example is getting attacked by Clinonites at the moment, accused ot "Not being a feminist" because she fails their form of a purity test. You then have idiots speaking for broad groups of people going "WELL POC DO NOT LIKE X POLICY". Which gets even more amusing when a person who's african american actually calls them out their idiotic prejudices.

I'm actually to the bizarre point where I respect people who are a minority that vote republican/trump rather than kow-tow to these idiots. I'm really tired of these people hiding behind the LGBT, Black and Hispanic communities as "shields" to excuse their shittiness.

That's the go-to argument for these people, "everyone who opposes *insert my policy preference here* is a white dude!" Doesn't matter if it has zero statistical backing and could be easily disproved with polling data.

Its because a bunch of the loudest wokes aren't mad about sexism or racism, they're mad they can't take revenge. The hate, anger, and fear that powers those Proud Boy morons isn't unique to white people.

They aren't hiding behind those communities, they just know what's best for these communities, obviously, being objectively superior. It's their duty to guide idiot minorities into the future. God knows if it wasn't for identity politics black people would be throwing spears at mexicans who would return fire with razor-rim sombreros, kung lao style. To say nothing of the poor women, who would forget they even had vaginas, and begin to slowly disappear...

He's referring to the Dem going hard neoliberal/not doing against the Tea Party raise once Obama was elected along with Clinton clearing the field for her 2016 run. The Dems only have old neo-liberals left as leaders.

The country voted for "change", and what they THOUGHT they were getting with "Change" was

-Regulating, Breaking up the banks.
-Single payer, Universal Healthcare like the rest of the world
-Economic recovery in the midst of the 2008 economic collapse.
-Ending the wars in Iraq, Afgahnistan
-A rejection of neoliberalism, neoconservativism. (Votes against the GOP, Hillary in the primary)

What we got...was...neoliberalism and a continuation of many Bush era policies. Even TARP was half-assed as gently caress. Hell Obama even tried to sell Social Security down the loving river.

ACA was a house of cards that the GOP was going to blow down the moment it got into the executive branch.

What was this "Hope"? lovely incrementalism? Vague platitudes? Id. Pol mixed with predatory capitalism?

Michelle and her husband get to go vacation with billionaires on yachts. We get to be finger wagged at anytime anyone stands up to go "Hey it's hosed up Barack is taking 400k from wall street for a speech" while people's healthcare gets taken away.

because they had a decent amount candidates to run against trump, but they chose Clinton because it was her turn, and she didn't do poo poo, she had every advantage at hand but used none of them and instead hired some retarded bean counter to run computer magic and didn't even try to get anyone to vote for her. so she hosed up and lost and now the DNC has full put its head up its rear end and has refused to move leftward and instead focus on stupid bullshit while trump and the GOP gently caress the country in the rear end.

oh gently caress off. i am genuinely mad at both sides right now. I know a bunch of people who will lose healthcare if this poo poo goes all the way to the top including myself. The right for being evil monsterus fucks and the dnc for being idiots who have their heads up their asses.
