No, the excuse of 'well it doesn't matter if it didn't because you know it WOULD" has been the brain dead excuse people have been giving forever when they fall for literal stuff. Just say "oh, oops" when you find out you fell for something fake, there is no need to dig in or give it creditbility. donald trump didn't post some lazer conspiracy, and like literally he does enough bad stuff every minute of every day you don't need to go into made up fake stuff to find things to be upset about.

Agreed, but that's not what I was trying to convey. Just that I'm having a difficult time stretching my credulity these days.

Funny thing about right wing propaganda is that you don't even realize how effective it is until someone points it out to you.

Hell, I'll go ahead and :toxx: that before the USPOL Spring thread ends, there will be some posters complaining about AOC selling out/not leftist enough/whatever.

If she compromises on her principles, of course people who backed her because of those principles are going to be mad. Would you prefer a personality cult that blindly supports her regardless of her actual actions? AOC, like other leftist up-and-coming stars, have support because of their principles and promises; now that she's in office, she has to deliver on those or she'll lose that support.

Why the Perfect Red-State Democrat Lost

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/16/opinion/sunday/taylor-sappington-ohio.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage


quote:

What he hadn’t been prepared for was the lack of organizational support. Progressive groups in Washington and New York were focused mostly on congressional seats — never mind that it was state legislatures that would determine congressional lines for the next decade.

But most confounding were the unions. One by one, they started supporting Jay Edwards. And not just the building-trades unions, which sometimes side with Republicans, but the Service Employees International Union and the public sector unions — AFSCME, the Ohio Education Association and Ohio Civil Service Employees Association. The only endorsements Mr. Sappington received were from the National Association of Social Workers and the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers.

He was stunned. He was about as pro-union as one could be. In his video, he had mentioned his earlier activism against the law that Ohio Republicans had pushed through in 2011, eliminating collective bargaining for public employees, which was later overturned by referendum. His mother had been active in AFSCME; his brother belonged to the Civil Service Employees Association. And Mr. Sappington himself was a low-wage service worker. Yet he was losing labor support to a Republican who had supported a state budget that effectively reduced funding for education.

What he learned when he asked around, and what I later confirmed, was that the unions were, in many cases, making a grimly pragmatic decision in his race and others around the state. The Democrats had fallen to such a woeful level in Ohio state government that unions felt as if they had no choice but to make friends, or at least nonenemies, with some Republicans, in hopes of staving off anti-union measures such as “right-to-work” legislation and elimination of prevailing-wage standards.

Well, based on the communications that we know that he had, he's definitely part of the entire conspiracy charges that is wrapping everything together. It's likely that he's a participant in the hacking that occurred (and by "participant" I mean he had knowledge of and materially supported the action, not that he was jugging Ecudorian-brand Jolt Cola while slamming three keyboards at once), too.

The real fun is if Ecuador is still going to be willing to shelter him. Considering that Assange has burned his bridges there and there hasn't been any real pressure applied yet to get him out, I bet that they turn him over in response to a polite but firm letter.

Naw, if they are sheltering him on a rape charge they can’t back down now just for more verifiable loving with the US. They’ll just make his stay unpleasant as possible.

I’m going under; if the house Dems actually start to issue subpoenas regarding Trump’s taxes, business dealings, etc. they’ll be bringing Kelly out to spin the gently caress out of every single thing. She’ll working herself to the bone spinning in a way that makes 747 engines envious, and her husband will be trolling Trump all the meanwhile.

If the marriage makes it past August I’ll be impressed.
