that was as embarrassing as the loving political fan fics that dotted twitter throughout this entire election. one of my favorite shows of all time but i don't give a gently caress what a fictional character has to say about the real world, especially not coming from goddamn vox of all places.

The idea that liberal smugness caused Trump's victory is incredibly stupid and counterproductive. Posting on an internet forum to announce that you're disinterested in something is pretty counterproductive too, come to think of it.

No it's really not. Thinking poo poo like Lena Dunham make a GOTV video is going to help win the election is exactly why they lost. They have no idea how to appeal to actual working class voters who they needed to win the election and they can't understand that Hamilton jokes and having every celebrity on their side wasn't going to be enough in the non coastal cities that are actually suffering. Keep thinking that way and you can look forward to 8 years of trump.

I'm not interested in getting into an argument with you about this. If you're this uninformed, after the longest, most exhaustively documented campaign in history, it's because you want to be.

Test it then. Go wage your war on smugness and see what that does for racism and the economy, the actual reported justifications Trump voters had when they were asked. When no one on earth is smug I'm sure we'll all be free.

The message Hillary and her campaign were pushing was completely tone deaf towards the biggest demographic that hurt her (white labor). These corny pop-culture references that don't address anything were part of her tone deaf, lazyass campaign. While Trump was out there shouting down free trade agreements, knowing how to get to white labor's pain points, Hillary is hosting concerts with Jay Z, thinking black people are stupid enough to see that and get galvanized to vote. She was lazy as hell in her message crafting, it appealed only to her white liberal base that was already hers to begin with.

That's my point though. They were so smug and sure that no one would support a clown like trump that they forgot to actually have anything to offer but the same neoliberal bullshit that is slowly bleeding them to death. For fucks sake, Hillary held back oppo research about Trump in the primaries because they were just SO sure they could beat his rear end in the general. Swing states don't care about Broad City and their arrogance in assuming the country would just get in line since it's her turn was their undoing.

This is nothing but projection, she had dozens of very clear policies and the democratic platform was the most leftwing ever proposed far more then Obama even, what neoliberal bullshit did she actually push that isn't just in your head.

Obama has been a neoliberal in practice so that means nothing. TPP, wouldn't support $15 minimum wage, spoke to bankers who she should be jailing or at least distancing herself, no single payer, Neera Tanden, etc. Having the most left leaning platform means nothing when far central right is the status quo.

She support the $15, what parts of the TPP do you actually hate? I see alot of hate from people who haven't read/tried to understand it. You seem to just have unrealistic expectations in general I doubt any politician will actually please you.

Are you loving kidding me? Are you actually pretending a person who actively sought Kissinger's endorsement is progressive? You're pretending a person who didn't officially endorse BLM ever, who directly contributed to the rise of black imprisonment, who coined the term "super-predators", who voted for the Iraq War, who gave secret $250k+ speeches to Wall Street officials, who bombed the ever-living gently caress out of Libya, who described herself as "center-left to center-right" is a progressive? That's what you're saying here?

Is there a legal way to get the extended version of the Finale online that I'm somehow overlooking? Hulu has every single loving producers cut except that one and NBC took it down a year ago from what I can tell.

Edit: I bet it's to increase physical sales, isn't it. :(
