Bishounen Bonanza posted:This is a bad argument. Rex Tilerson is a secretary of state and he's not qualified for anything. Paul Ryan is a senator and he's not qualified. Same for Sessions, or Rumsfeld, and plenty of others. There are a lot of people who are senators or who have served in high government posts who are absolute evil idiots. I make no judgement of Hillary in this post, but serving as a senator or a Secretary does not in itself imply a person is competent. You have Tim Walberg as an example just a few posts up. Paul Ryan is not a senator, the path of Hillary's career leading into Secretary of State does not mimic Tillerson (incredibly anomalous version) in any way, nor did her tenure there raise red flags in the way that his has thus far. It's not entirely clear what makes for a qualified presidential candidate-what is clear is that by any *"When you voted for the war in Iraq, the most disastrous foreign policy blunder in the history of America, you might want to question your qualifications. When you voted for trade agreements that cost millions of Americans decent paying jobs, and the American people might want to wonder about your qualifications. When you're spending an enormous amount of time raising money for your super PAC from some of the wealthiest people in this country, and from some of the most outrageous special interests ... Are you qualified to be president of the United States when you're raising millions of dollars from Wall Street whose greed and recklessness helped destroy our economy?"

I don't know who Jeff Lord is (beyond a Trump sycophant), but he's a moron. He was on Anderson Cooper a few minutes ago, trying to argue with a straight face that Kushner is "just like Robert F. Kennedy" because presidents usually use family members to establish other diplomatic channels. He also essentially argued "B-b-but Obama used a senate aid in his administration!". David Priess was Anderson's other guest, and he shut that down pretty quickly.

Jeffrey Lord was in the Reagan Administration or something but over the last 18 months he's shown a complete and total willingness to defend ANYTHING Trump says or does but almost never with a straight face. I was going to reference the time he enraged Van Jones by saying the Democratic Party was the party of the KKK in response to the David Duke stuff but I now realize how mundane that seems in retrospect.

pumpinglemma posted:You say this like it's unjustifiable. Any remotely qualified candidate would have beaten Trump in a landslide. She failed to beat him at all, and now the entire world gets to pay the price. Meanwhile, she refuses to admit any blame and is currently trying to use #TheResistance to resurrect her political career. Obviously she's not as bad as the actual Republicans, but every single person who could have stopped this plane crash and didn't deserves our utter contempt. She's more than competent. She's talented. So was Bill. If you think she's bad at this and that's why she lost you're exactly what I"m talking about.

I don't even know where to begin trying to correct that. It's not even just republicans. It's Americans.

They believe this because they're told it constantly and because self-worth is mixed up with social class to an insane degree. Hence how you get the assholes saying stuff like 'I was on food stamps, no-one ever helped me!' because anything they have is proper assistance for good upstanding citizens, not *welfare* for parasites.

Is it just anything those 'losers' other than them use? that little citation at the bottom about the submerged state - that's what one professor calls the package of government subsidies that aren't visible to people or easily rationalized. like if you get food stamps, it's hard to say that isn't a government program. but the government permitting you to write off your mortgage interest payments as a deduction on your taxes, is that a government subsidy? (it totally is, but when people - especially wealthier people - say well that's a tax cut, not a subsidy like food stamps, then they're all i earned this the only moral welfare is my welfare etc.)
