Oh Snapple! posted:To expound slightly, they locked her out and gave her some donuts and water as a "go away" thing. The donut twitter poo poo then literally began as folks who thought this was actually incredibly good and also very polite on their part in the face of an ~uppity black woman~. To expound more, Nina Turner was bringing a policy proposal (the People's Platform) to be voted on at the party conference when she was blocked. Because apparently those have to be brought in as physical copies. Blocking her from entering means the proposal never even got voted on. Offering her donuts instead was just adding insult to injury. The people displaying donuts use it to commemorate their side's victory that day.

Unfortunately, the rest of the lineup doesn't seem to have budged from their strategy of trying to pull the conversation towards the right.

President Rubio would have been just as bad except maybe done it with a bit more "decorum." It once again shows how Biden thinks Trump is a unique failure of the Republican party and that he'll be able to reach across the aisle once Trump is out of office.

Ok, then why don’t you tell me exactly what “President” Rubio would have tried to enact. Come on now, folks are claiming they know the future so what specific policies should he be enacting? Which alliances would he have respected and which ones would he have thrown away? Which court cases would he fight? Would he make any deals with the Dems and if so on what? Once you’re done with that, prove it. If you can tell the future this should be trivial for you. And no, it doesn’t count if you or anyone else makes that dishonest argument conflating “we knew things were going to be bad” with “we couldn’t predict the extent to which Trump could find new and horrible ways of being bad”.

No one could have known the guy who promised to send cops to drag a million people from their homes and put them in camps would be dragging people from their homes and putting them in camps. Totally impossible to have predicted that guy would be bad, after all he's so rich and therefore of high moral fiber.

I knew Donald Trump was going to be the next President when Bernie won that Michigan primary. It sent a very clear message to anyone with an iota of political literacy that the Rustbelt was simply not going to vote for any candidate that voted for/supported NAFTA - you know, the same agreement that literally destroyed the RustBelt in less than a generation? Add on top of this the way Obama kept pushing the TPP at the same time, which was just NAFTA on steroids. The Democrats basically handed trump that election on a loving silver platter

Anyone who tells you Donny is worse than anyone could have predicted is a fool and a liar. The only people who weren't calling for a total poo poo show were desperately hoping for a miracle. If anything, the sheer incompetence of team Donny is the only thing preventing Donny from actually being fully as bad as was predicted.

Severely underestimated how little information Trump could handle about the outside world, and overestimated how much he would just delegate to the warhawk cabinet. So actually he's been way less terrible in terms of overseas bombing campaigns, and about exactly where I expected in terms of domestic disaster and accelerating the slide towards fash oblivion

He hasn't closed Gitmo, ended the Iraq or Afghan wars (as promised) and has instead escalated those situations. Sure we're not in a 3rd open war, even though the brinksmanship in the Persian Gulf is getting fuckin' wild, but the situation isn't calm. Proxy wars aren't better than bombing campaigns. No one in America has the time to pay attention to all the horrible poo poo we're enabling because we're all too terrified of the horrible poo poo we're enabling at home.

Chilichimp posted:Hilary Clinton voted for NAFTA? "voted for/supported" She supported it then later criticized it when she ran in '08, but then pushed TPP (before denouncing it). I don't think it's unreasonable for voters to question her actual stance even if she was nominally against (or at least nominally for rewriting) NAFTA/TPP by election day.

Nah. He's been somewhat bad about being terrible in some contexts. His inability to "properly" propagandize a war has been... well, something. A more competent dipshit would have at least doctored more evidence. That said, he's been novel and awful in other ways too. His hatred of minorities was well-known, but going after trans people in the military (regardless of the moral implications of being in the military) seemed like something Pence/Miller pushed for and Trump himself would never have given a poo poo about.
