99% of hacking is the downswing, I don't care how many retards try to say the upswing is equally as important. You don't even make any contact with the flesh on the upswing, you morons!

From what I've read, Zuck supports single-payer, so I bet he's going to run in the Bernie position of "anti-establishment guy millennials love" who ultimately loses the primary leading to Trump beating some shitheel Dem like Cory Booker

I like how Hillary has to add continually to the list of reasons why she lost. So far we have

- Free press
- Free speech
- Misogyny (see items 1&2)
- Racism (see items 1&2)
- Transphobia? (nevermind, just see items 1&2)
- The Rust Belt
- White people
- Black people and Latinos who voted for Trump
- Racism (see 'the Rust Belt')
- Wikileaks (see items 1&2)
- "Russian Wikileaks" (does not exist)
- "Hackers" (like the movie)
- Russia (the whole thing)

And now THE MEDIA and THE DNC and HER SUPPORTERS.

Yeah, Hillary. I bet the people who sank their stolen millions into your lovely campaign are mutually pleased with you. If you had told them you were going to run on IDPOL and let a computer decide where you would rally, they might have held on to their money instead of wasting it on a proven failure.

I hope her friends on Wall Street and in the DNC remember her criticisms when she inevitably runs again and tell her to piss off.

One thing we can be sure of: with all this wind-up to the next couple of years, Bill is probably the most relaxed he's been since 2004. No expectations from the party since they doffed him in favor of HAL 9k, and no harridan flitting around his house constantly pecking at him. He is dicking bimbos in whatever part of the country his wife ain't in. Ordinarily I would not believe Colin Powell about anything, but since his words were "hacked" :tinfoil: I figure there migght be something to it.

i don't think she ran on idpol so much as used it as a shield to deflect criticism, ie: "would breaking up the banks end racism"

an idpol candidate would have spoken positively about BLM, for one, or reforming the police. there was more than one confrontation between her and black activists where she came off super lovely. she was also anti-legalization, let alone ending the drug war, which disproportionately affects and targets minorities.

I liked the one where security dragged the poor girl out as the WASP audience hissed and Clinton said, "back to the issues that I think are important."

IDPOL implies that they don't actually give a gently caress about those issues outside of paying lip service which is exactly why it applies to her campaign imo

Actually how would that even work legally?

Like if you owned either a social network or media outlet, how could you run without a poo poo ton of lawsuits about manipulating your coverage to be positive and your opponents to be negative like Facebook does regularly about their pet projects or pet peeves?

Yeah but she didn't own the media outlets, her staff just made backroom deals with the various executives and employees of all the major media outlets to either give her positive coverage or focus solely on Trump which gave her/them the step of plausible deniability they needed.

If you loving RUN the thing, your plausible denial goes out the window.

bonus points for when he runs and doesn't put Facebook in a blind trust because of Trump, and his supporters defend it without a hint of irony

Facebook has been shown to be an unbelievably powerful tool influencing the last US election and Brexit. It's not unreasonable to think with all the data analytics and mind control available to Faceboom that it could have a strong chance of getting someone to win any election, the candidate is one of the least important variables.

I feel that with things going the way they are, he could very well attempt (and succeed) in turning Facebook in to a giant propaganda arm. Why not? A whole kaboodle of people out there get their news from their Facebook wall. Lawyers could maybe put the hurt on him, but if he decided to run for prez, he could always step down as the chairman (or w/e) of the company.

Facebook obviously tanked Hillary Clinton's image so Zuckerberg's main rival for 2020 would be a loser instead of an incumbent/first woman president.

At the moment, yes. I'm musing as to what his next phase is - keeping the thing and letting the dollars roll in, being a power behind the throne, or doing what lots of dudes seem to be unable to resist doing and throwing his hat in the ring.

Among other things, Bowles worried that one of the concessions Zuckerberg wanted -- to allow the billionaire to serve two years in government without losing control of Facebook -- would look particularly irresponsible, according to court filings. Bowles did not respond to requests for comment.
