Discendo Vox posted:Kirkland and Ellis has over a thousand partners. Hi... I work at EvilCorp™... there's a lot of people at EvilCorp™ and not all of us are directly responsible for pumping out pure, unadulterated Evil. Some of us are responsible for bringing in profits and clients to make sure that others can pump out pure, unadulterated Evil. So we're morally in the clear. There are really two ethical positions you can take here: - Anyone who works for a lovely company is morally responsible for the full set of actions that company takes. - There is no ethical consumption/production under capitalism, so your personal choices don't matter that much in context, meaning that you would be contributing to exploitation somewhere else - but Pembroke Fuse fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Jul 16, 2019 |

Main Paineframe posted:Why did you post an edited, fake tweet in this thread? He thinks that the only reason people prefer Sanders over Warren is sexism or some other bad/dumb motivation, and thus aims to "expose the hypocrisy" of Sanders supporters by linking a bad Sanders opinion edited to seem like it's from Warren. In regards to the original real tweet, the advantages to Sanders on the foreign policy front are primarily in the form of what he wouldn't do rather than what he would.

Typo posted:gently caress any lawyer who would defend any rapist Yes, because taking millions of dollars to get Jeffrey Epstein off on multiple counts of trafficking and rape is exactly the same as being a PD, it's not indicative of our hosed up system having two tracks based on whether or not you have money at all

Tulsi Gabbard rocks!!!! This first generation Mexican-American supports Tulsi. Why? (i) Her Middle-East policy is the same as President Obama's. Obama did not trust the foreign policy establishment with respect to the Middle East. And neither does Tulsi. (ii) She’s an economic populist. One of three Reps to vote against PayGo, along with Ro Khanna and AOC. (iii) I’d love to have a G&T with her

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:
Hot take of the day from me: Beto is better than Buttigieg or Kamala Beto's a privileged goofus, the love child of Jar Jar Binks and Richie Rich, but what he says is, within his own head, sincere: he says a lot of stupid poo poo but he says what he means and sometimes he manages to take positions that aren't awful. So at least with Beto you know you're getting a candidate who will sometimes do the right thing. Buttigieg and Kamala on the other hand are dishonest machines: every stance they take is manufactured and manicured. Even if they say they support something they aren't reliable or trustworthy so their promises are empty (see: Kamala's walkbacks on health care).

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:Correct me if I'm wrong but your point seemed to be that he lost even though the downballot did well, from which you conclude that a lot of people voted for Democrats on the downballot races while still voting for Cruz. thats wrong what i was responding to was: "He apparently did a TON to win downballot races in Texas, he was legitimately well liked" and my point was: beto was a void of a candidate, offering nothing substantial beyond having a choice on the ballot that is not ted cruz. ted cruz is disliked in this state enough to have that be enough for a big downballot effect (its the only reason i voted for beto). but that effect is not attributable to beto's particular properties or actions as a candidate, because he took great care to have no particular properties and take no actions. therefore, beto should not get personal credit for texas pushing purple and if you go back that far for context, you'd also see the original argument is that "im not donald trump" is a terrible platform for a crowded democratic primary, especially if you're a candidate where "im not ted cruz" was not a winner in a general
