Wasn't the new Jane Doe one the one Jezebel did an article on where they revealed the story was being shopped around by anti-Trump PAC and they were refusing to let anyone interview the accuser even anonymously and all that kind of poo poo? Like, when even Gawker/Jezebel is going "Yeah, this is just a bad attempt at a political hit on Trump" it probably has about zero merit, even if Trump is actually human scum in general.

I disagree, working hard despite being sick stresses out your immune system harder and also means you're probably working at significantly less then your peak ability. Optics wise working through an illness is probably the right choice, but America needs to stop it with the "working is more important than your own health" bullshit.

No one's saying it's an equivalent misstep, just that it's part of an ongoing pattern of missteps by Clinton. She wasn't sick until Friday. Should they have been going "technically she could get sick at any time, so for all intents and purposes she's never 100% healthy" on Wednesday or something?

Bip Roberts posted:How is the upvote/downvote possibly supposed to work besides down voting who's opinion you don't like and/or up voting the same pun every time? The problem is that Reddit's system makes the content that gets voted down harder to see unless you actively search it out. That allows dissenting opinions to be hidden. A more sane up/down vote system would allow the down voted content to stay in place and viewable in the order it was posted by default and allow people to optionally filter out posts below a certain threshold or sort by positive ranking.

I just realized something. Trump's plan only allows the mother to take parental leave, right? What happens when two gay men adopt a baby? What happens if the mother dies in childbirth? Even if you ignore that sometimes the father wants to be the one to stay home, mandating that it has to be the mother is a stupid loving idea.

comingafteryouall posted:So are the posters in here who are able to remain level-headed live in a majority democratic area? I live in a rural area that is also a college town. Trump had a rally nearby in the summer and the voting patterns of rural Americans really shined. But I can feel better because a democratic office also just opened up in our "downtown" area and the college students are out canvassing. I live in such a heavily Republican area that we literally don't have a Dem candidate for the House. I've seen one person with a Trump for President and a Ted Nugent for President bumper stickers, and one guy with a Hillary for Prison t-shirt. I saw more Bernie signs/bumper stickers during the primaries than Trump ones. Maybe Illinois Republicans are just less likely to trust Trump after the disaster that Rauner has been and with Kirk refusing to endorse him.

Deified Data posted:You're not just voting for the person, though. Your voting for every person that person appoints and every position that person advances or chooses not to advance. It's like you're having trouble choosing whether to stop a train barreling down on a tied up human being or another barreling down on a sports car some CEO bought with his bonus. It only appears to be equal if you're intellectually lazy. I think your problem is that you're equating any right wing authoritarianism with fascism, which isn't correct. An Assad or a Lukashenko wouldn't be a good vote just because the other choice is a Franco or a Mussolini. What I'm saying is if it comes down to two different flavors of authoritarianism the election doesn't matter because you have bigger problems than that specific election, and you need to fix issues that go much deeper than the head of state.

I would not hold him to the standard of citing sources and being extremely historically literate, but he still does which is nice. It's important to put aside the circular firing squad and let people who are proudly liberal be proudly liberal I've heard a couple of nerds hate on him for being a dirty sports liker(which is hilariously dumb, but something that a lot of people who can't get over middle school take seriously), but that's about all I can think of.
