DemeaninDemon posted:Cruz and Trump are different kinds of evil. Cruz is Palpatine while Trump is more like Mussolini. Cruz is holding his Texas victory party at a racist redneck bar quote:Cruz's decision to use Berry's club as his election watch party venue comes as no surprise as Cruz and Berry have been friends for "over twenty years." Berry's radio show -- The Michael Berry Show -- is often packed with racially inflammatory language. The host has referred to black people as "jungle animals" and often mocks black victims of Chicago's gun violence. He regularly rejects civil rights advocacy and once said in response to the Black Lives Matter movement, "the dirty little secret is black people don't believe that black lives matter." The host also often hosts a blackface comedian, whose stage name is "Shirley Q. Liquor," to portray racist stereotypes of African-American women.

Radbot posted:I think it's hilarious that progressive Democrats aren't going to take the literal perfect opportunity to run a progressive candidate, and will for some reason put Clinton up against a Trump. Great job Clinton caucusgoers. Yeah, that makes total sense. ::somewhere, deep in the DNC fortress:: "Hey look, Trump is the undeniable frontrunner after Super Tuesday." "Stunning. We had put our support behind Clinton with the expectation that we'd be fighting a Bush/Rubio ticket but now... Now we can run anyone." "Okay, let's call up Keith Ellison and ask if he's busy for the rest of the year"

Teddybear posted:A fun side effect of the Trump candidacy: USCIS math! There are eight months to the election. It takes about five months to process a citizenship application. I always enjoy reading things that contradict Republican claims that anti-immigrant rhetoric won't hurt them with legal immigrants and in fact legal immigrants will vote for Republicans because they waited their turn in line and support Republican law and order.

gradenko_2000 posted:There was a theory that there were actually more conservative voters than "mainstream" polling indicated, either because of an unintentional flaw in the polling models, or because the mainstream pollsters were deliberately manipulating the media to make the Dems look good. His methods were sound! quote:The conservative activist who gained a following during last year's campaign for his efforts to "unskew" polls has a theory on why his predictions for the election were so wildly off the mark, writing late last month that his analysis was incomplete because he did not consider the purported voter fraud and voter suppression efforts that he claimed were integral to President Barack Obama's victory.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Nancy wasn't some bimbo. She was smarter and much more political than Reagan and orchestrated his entire political career. After a brief dalliance with communism she turned hard to the right, and the Republican Party has scarcely had a more hateful and vitriolic string-puller than her. Barbara Bush is famously acid-tongued but Nancy had Nixonian levels of scheming, paranoia, and vindictiveness. Don'tet the bouffant fool you. Is this something that's actually reliably sourced?

The CNN sub headline is still about the Trump supporter who threatened to kill that black guy. And the main photo on CBS News is a Trump supporter literally wearing an American flag as a cape choke holding a black guy. Surprised it isn't a Confederate flag cape.

computer parts posted:I forgot, what were the issues with Rand? Republicans aren't, for the most part, libertarian. As Trump has shown, at least a third of them have no actual political beliefs at all and simply support hate and strong men. And as for the rest of them, Rand's tendency to do things like praise due process for terror suspects is not what Republicans like about libertarianism. They just like the part where they don't pay taxes or let blacks and gays into their business. e: to cite Reason (lol) quote:Right now, people don't want liberty. They may want a sense of freedom for themselves, but aren't willing to endure their neighbor's freedom. Modern Americans will sacrifice their own rights to wield control over others. If you doubt that, attend your town's next planning commission meeting. For freedom to reign, the culture must change, and a political campaign is not going to do that.

Xanderkish posted:Compare them to Trump's stuff, though, and I suspect that, despite certain media narratives, Trump will come off looking the worse to most observers. I mean, he already does. Protesting sets precedent for future political action, makes visible the opposition, and places social and political pressure on the group being protested, making it clear to onlookers this is not okay and there are consequences to Trump's rhetoric and climate. Also they haven't broken out the giant papier-mache puppets so we're still good.
