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.

aren't most award shows basically insider circlejerks anyway

Sure, but for $100, some film snob in Wisconsin can go and see all the best picture nominees and watch the Oscars and pretend like his opinion matters to anyone.

The Tony's, is the only award show that goes out of its way to exclude 99.99% of Americans by including only shows that cost $200 a ticket on one section of one city in America.

Are these people really just obsessed with being contrarian, do they hate leftism, think Hillary Would Have Won? What's their main problem?

Seems they just hate that Bernie is an independent and fell for the BernieBro myth.

Their feel good social progress narrative got hosed up. Their symbolic defeating of sexism got sabotoged by some old white dude with his dumb horse poo poo of stopping people dying from preventable illness.

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/06/politics/third-eye-blind-stephan-jenkins-gets-political-we-are-drugs/index.html

quote:

Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins has never been coy about his political views and in 2016, he is all in for Hillary Clinton.

In an interview with CNN, Jenkins defended the Democratic presidential nominee after she said last month that "half" of Donald Trump's supporters fit into "the basket of deplorables."

Clinton later expressed "regret" for the "half" part of the comment.

"It's true," Jenkins said, pointing to supporters of the Republican presidential nominee and GOP politicians who oppose gay rights, deny climate change and those who have not taken a stance against institutionalized racism and police brutality.

"I think that line that Hillary Clinton said was typically bad politics. She's really not a very good politician," Jenkins said, "but I think she's a generally honest, moral person who cares a lot about the welfare of children and the forward movement of American values."

Jenkins said it's crucial for Bernie Sanders supporters who have vowed not to vote for Clinton and those supporting Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein to "enthusiastically" back the former secretary of state because they are risking a Trump presidency.

"I don't have a problem with Hillary Clinton. I'm not a hater on her at all. I think it's very, very important that the Bernie voters and the Jill Stein voters ... enthusiastically support her," Jenkins said.

I did a search for WWC and it appears to refer to the Women's World Cup of cricket

Bernie Sanders: wrong on cricket, wrong for America
