Koalas March posted:Why She's for reparations, wants to release "as many prisoners as possible", and a few other universal programs. Edit: I can't find it, but I think on her website she specifically mentioned having to fix Flint's water supply because I had this joke all set up about how for every life she saves from lead she gives another child measles.

This is, like, fair enough but it's embarrassing how some folks basically went into a meltdown over her bad points being mentioned and it's those embarrassing meltdowns that are setting the discourse on this.

It's also important to remember that the Democrat primary has always involved forgiving horrible monstrous politicians their many crimes just because they're better than the Republican opponent.

GreyjoyBastard posted:tbf part of the reason i mostly don't post in this thread outside of amusing shitposts is that it's obviously Sanders > Warren > Yeah she's not just dangerous because of her opinions on vaccines, she represents a sort of brokebrained thinking that I see all the loving time because my mother (the CHUD currently) is the exact sort of (I love her but I'm going to be honest here) simple-minded, I need an easy solution to explain the world's complexities type that falls into this pattern of thinking well, if I only fake being happy and positive long enough all my problems go away! All it does is put a flowery front end on the same bootstraps bullshit CHUDs and libertarians talk about. It also makes the person mentally check out of any of the work involved in truly changing their situation. People don't succeed by sitting in a chair dream-willing some reality to live in. That's called denial, and it's loving insidious and quite stunning up close. That's as personal as I'll get but yeah, my hate for some quasi-spiritual guru like Marianne goes way, way deeper than her opinions on vaccines. I hate her type. gently caress all hokum-peddling spirituality-twisting rear end in a top hat huckster lunatics like her preying on the gullible forever. And gently caress anyone who defends such people. TulliusCicero posted:I have news for all you "can't vote because principles" people: Right. This is literally the point of all those "The Dems are going too far left, don't leave me behind!" think piece opinion articles in NYT and elsewhere. They'll go Trump in a flat second unless the Dems nominate some trash Centrist like Biden they can stomach voting for. gently caress them. VitalSigns posted:Wasn't she the only candidate to explicitly say we need reparations for slavery last night. So we're just forgetting that other candidates are already on the record as being supportive of reparations. OK. So you Marianne stan motherfuckers are just gonna lie to find ways to support her now.

I'm saying people got bored and left and the only ones currently still interested are people taking about the crystal lady, and that this is only for true for this particular moment and soon someone who actually matters will do something newsworthy and we'll be talking about that.

The supposed Warren and Harris supporters on this forum are largely mythical. We don't have Warren "supporters" here, we just have bernie-or-busters and then a (shrinking) group of people willing to discuss second choice options and/or trying to discuss the practicalities of who might win rather than the moralities of who should. I have yet to see anyone actually post "I think Harris should win" just a few tentative steps towards "I fear Harris might win" which usually get shouted down.

I think Williamson is deeply unserious as a candidate and as a person. Which makes it all the more disappointing that she was the only one to directly link the issues around immigration with brutal American policies in Central and South America. If she continues to bring up American policy towards Latin America in discussions over immigration, she will be a net positive for the debates. And if what a no-hope candidate has to say about vaccines troubles you, I hope that what a candidate with an actual chance has to say about foreign policy does too.

TulliusCicero posted:I have news for all you "can't vote because principles" people: I have some news for you too. See, this kinda poo poo you're saying here? It doesn't loving work. You can't scold somebody to vote the way you want them to, and 2016 really ought to have taught everyone that. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that this is counterproductive liberal bullshit, because individualizing the responsibility and passing it on to voters lets the party establishment off the hook, and they're a million times more responsible for losing elections than some rando on the internet. So if you wanna yell at somebody, go yell at the Dem leadership for being a buncha incompetent fuckups.

Typo posted:she supports reparations for slavery How are reparations going to fix being made sterile from measles, unable to breathe from whooping cough, trapped in an iron lung from polio or cervical/throat cancer? Tell us, how does that work out? You folks really don’t understand the dangers these diseases cause and maybe you should take a loving biology class before “ironically” supporting this poo poo again. This isn’t actually funny. And anyone else going on and on about how “it’s weird you’re talking about this issue but no other” need to loving can it. One can have direct experience in an issue and choose to speak on it, but stand back and listen to others who are more experienced in other issues. It’s arrogant in the extreme to believe that one is an expert on every different issue and experience. Edit: yes, I see he’s a loving gimmick but he’s not the only one minimizing basic loving public health. You know what’s really hosed up about vaccinations? They’re so basic and so fundamental to public health that even red states support them. Mississippi is famous for not allowing any non-medical exemptions for vaccines. Yes, loving Mississippi. West Virginia as well. CA and NY finally joined them but only very recently. Solkanar512 fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Jun 29, 2019 |

Typo posted:I can say the same about a biden or any other neoliberal centrist shill presidency but somehow nobody ever talks about that like this entire thread is slagging biden for all of the many things supremely wrong with him though?  Anyhow anti-vax stuff is just really rearing its mainstream head and it's way easier to cut off a poo poo idea when it's young than when it's super entrenched so not letting an antivax candidate really get that much mainstream hype is a good thing because it makes it more likely we'll be able to stamp out that bad idea now rather than add to the list of entrenched bad ideas (like most of modern capitalism) we're going to have to get rid of eventually.

Tell us, how does that work out? measles from unvaccination will affect all populations equally, whereas legacy of slavery disproportionately affects PoCs. America +reparations - vaccinations will actually be a far more racially equal American than otherwise.
