I was thinking about the two often-repeated political phrases this year "This is the slowest Economic recovery ever" and "We're due for a recession". Could these two things have something to do with each other? As in i'm hypothesizing obama has been knocking it out of the park so well that we had a "recession", and it just slowed growth instead of shrinking the economy so nobody noticed?

Glenn beck held some kind of hyperpatriot pop-up museum and talked about having barack obamas family album. He talked about his 2nd birthday and him wearing Muslim clothes.

Obviously this is freep: the podcast and is full of terrors, but its possibly the creepiest thing i have witnessed in any media.

Now I do not plan on voting for her, I think diluting the left wing vote in a purple state like NC is a bad idea, but when arguing with ex-berners who may be taken in by the allure of a third party candidate (such as myself, honestly), I do want some concrete things I can attack her on. So I guess what I am asking is if there is any hard information that shows her as an anti-vax candidate that I can use in discussion, because really that is the only thing I can think of that would dissuade some of my fellow ex-berners to vote Hillary. Or are the anti-vax attacks just misattributed attacks against the Green party's already dumb alternative-health supporting platform?

:sigh: Posts like this make me hate our political system. CGP Greys "First past the post" video should be shown in every school. Its a shame you are pressured to seek out attacks on politicians you might otherwise be inclined to support.

This 2nd amendment gaffe is a great chance to point out something thats been bugging me all election. What trump says, how i take it, and how its taken.


Direct Trump quote:Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
[/quote]

What i heard: "Someone willing to risk their life and fortune to subvert the legal immigration process is likely to be someone who would be weeded out by it, we should enforce our borders better".

What you heard: All mexicans are rapists, white power!



Direct Trump quote:"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the Second Amendment people—maybe there is. I don't know."

What i heard: Hillary is going to gently caress the second amendment sideways, if you care about this vote against her.

What you heard: Someone please shoot hillary.


(Frankly "What i heard" could just as easily be "What he should have said", but really, what do you expect from a candidate from queens)

Mostly its the initial "Mexicans = Rapists" quote from last summer, "People who wouldnt be admitted legally might try coming illegally because they want money" makes absolute sense just as he said it, and i dont get why another interpretation took off like a Saturn V rocket. (it certainly did)

I think racism is an aspect of our personality we should all identify in ourselves, admit, and make sure we dont hurt anyone who doesnt deserve to be hurt. But this does not jive with the DnD definition so w/e certainly dont listen to me.

Why would i call you a liberal? I've been a liberal since i was old enough to think and will always be one. Stop assuming there arent Keynesian racists. The rest is a fair point.

Can we just re-roll this election and do it in November, 2017? Normally this would be uncalled for, but i think we can make an exception.

If 30 or 40% of the population voting for trump is willing to commit Mass violence, Trump is a symptom of this not the central cause. We just need to figure out what's pissing them off exactly. (Or kill them all)

I like to use this as an example to right-wing people of why worrying about Muslims and Mexicans doesn't make sense. Basically all the complaints the right has about immigration nowadays existed back around the turn of the century but applied to the likes of Italians and Poles and Jews.

The real question here is one of assimilation. The Italian and Pole and Jewish cultures became a part of american culture, and with each generation italian polish and jewish children became more american. Today it seems we live in a world where that assimilation just doesn't happen and their cultures being adopted is decried as "Cultural Appropriation". I certainly dont have the answers, can cultures blend in the current climate like they did back then?

I was going to reply to a post in this thread earlier that was in the vein of "isn't everything going to be awesome when all the old people die, gently caress you dad" with this point. I'm genuinely concerned that millenials (my generation) will continue to pass down racism when they become the dominant generation. The alt-right kidz aren't going away soon (especially after the Bannon thing).

Lol if you think racism is something that can be educated out of society. Every generation of every culture was racist and every generation will be racist.

Feudal japan? Racist. 80s west germany? Racist. Asian steppe-riders? Racist. Middle-earth? Racist.

With American ingenuity we can set a river on fire!

:siren: CLEVELAND NATIONALISM TRIGGERED! :siren:

Cleveland gets a bad rap for this. People imagine "Lol that lovely city was so polluted that all the water became a towing inferno". In reality, A steel mill leaked a little oil onto the river that caught on fire between two bridges briefly. Nobody bothered to take a picture and it barely made the local newspapers. But time magazine (The gawker of its day) hosed it up for everyone by publishing a picture of a ship very on fire from 17 years beforehand, and the myth caught on from there.


Bejing deserves clevelands reputation for terrible pollution. Its actually a beautiful city where they managed to not knock down all the trees and vegetation as it was developed, so its called "The forest city"

Remember during peak arzy following trump briefly leading in the polls before the DNC, a few members suddenly went full-crazy and started barking about sinkholes being caused by global warming?



https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160830/upper-west-side/sinkhole-from-water-main-break-swallows-suv-on-upper-west-side

Looks like trump made another satanic pact to get those poll numbers to "narrow". But the holes are getting closer and closer to trump tower. :derp:
