I really want Oliver Stone to make a movie about Trump like he did with Bush.

Just dramatizations of the behind the scenes shenanigans and meltdowns, what was going on with that 90 minute delay and why he had to rush off stage, that kind of thing, except instead of like W, where Bush was still humanized and his attempts to be the person he clearly wasn't due to his own inferiority complex and pressures from his family, this would almost come across as a horror film. I do not want to be the intern who gets stuck with telling Trump any sort of bad news.

Nebraska's districts are some of the most hilarious poo poo because the populations of all three are 570k so you can see how far apart these fuckers live from each other in the 1st and 3rd districts compared to the 2nd which is Omaha and some white trash suburbs they bolted on in 2010 to try keeping it a hard R.

Like when you live so far away from someone that you go a week without interacting with anyone who isn't an immediate family member you can imagine the kind of fantastic tales of third world cities these people constantly fall for.

I love how Nebraska's soooo proooooud of it's splitting the vote thing like Maine has and then Obama took Omaha's district and people here immediately started crying about it.

like, i came in kind of annoyed that hillary was declared the winner of the nomination literally on the night before my state's primary, but even then i was taking the attitude of "hillary is fine too" but she's honestly grown on me as a candidate the more i hear about her and see her campaign.


bill was really progressive towards lgbt people for his time, he acknowledged that we existed. plus he didn't, for example, ignore us dying by the thousands or spread stigmatizing misinformation about aids when it was already known that it wasn't transmissible via person to person skin contact.

Yeah people might give Bill poo poo for implementing Don't Ask Don't Tell but it was a step up from outright barring the Gays from working in the government (including military), which was around since Eisenhower was in office.

Let me ask you this. If Trump became president, do I genuinely need to worry for the safety of my gay friends? I know some of you are saying I'm a troll but if there is a real chance the alarmism about Trump is genuine, I will absolutely make sure to vote for Clinton. My word may not be much but I mean it.

As a Transgender Gay myself, yes. Yes you do. Adding to what Artificer is saying, progressivism isn't a straight line. It never has been, and lots of people like, for example, Hillary Rodham Cllinton, have been working their asses off to make sure that it stays on track, and she's been doing that literally as long as she's been in politics. She has been involved and on that track longer than I have been alive and putting her in office is the better option than putting the Orange Goblin Man in, period.

Has Hillary even said anything about video games recently? I've heard a few people around my age mention that as a reason they aren't voting for her, but they're also manchildren who complain about the evils of feminism so it's not like I'm surprised.

Not that I know of, but video games are also considered more "mainstream" than back in the day, so she probably doesn't really care. So the answer to your question is

God I pity the world's middle school teachers when that story broke. Tryna do a nice unit about civics and now you gotta explain what a blowie is

I remember being in the sixth grade around then and having to do a report on presidents and I got Bill Clinton. I had to ask if I had to talk about the scandal too because I wasn't sure what to do and my teacher was like "Uhhhh, nothing's conclusive yet so leave it out for now, haha."

It did solidify my (mostly) positive opinion of his presidency, though, which is good because I was surrounded by kids who were parroting what their parents were saying and made fun of me for getting stuck with ~Clinton~.

They are the most important demographic politically, they're overwhelmingly the most populous and diverse in the United States. They're a solid majority of people, so while it's interesting and worth talking about, disapproval of Clinton driven by white people is still broad disapproval. It's not a "sham", it's a statistical reality.

You didn't read the article then. The other main thrust of it was that Hillary was solidly popular until she began running for president, which the Republicans tried to nip in the bud in 2013 with the Benghazi "scandal", while Trump has always been consistently unpopular.

Plus, it's not representative of her being "totally unpopular with everyone" if she's only unpopular with white people, which SHOULD be common sense but apparently isn't.

Who is saying she's "totally unpopular with everyone". I don't think anyone has ever claimed she was unpopular with black voters, for example.

The meme itself is saying that, though? Like not specifically saying she's unpopular with black voters, but the whole false equivalency of being "just as bad" as the Cheeto Elemental is implying that she's unpopular across the board, which she isn't.

When that tweet said "we have an oppo that's worse", did they mean morally worse or worse for the campaign?

Not that it would normally matter in a perfect world but if it's worse for his campaign, I am definitely banking on this Cheeto Man calling his supporters stupid hicks or something. Like that one rumor about him saying that already isn't true...back then, and as far as we know. If it's morally worse then...people have already said where that could possibly go and I don't want to think about it. :(
