Politics freak me the gently caress out and make me really anxious, so I'll be happy when Hilary wins and I can stop worrying about the faint possibility of President Trump.

I hate the latest epic rap battle of history because despite doing a great Trump in their Scrooge Christmas special, this time they just did him as some kind of pure evil monster dedicated 100% to racism and misogyny. I think President Trump would be horrible and an awful reality to live in, but I think he's mostly just a dumbass who didn't expect to get this far and now wants to win out of ego.

Wheat Loaf posted:One thing I have been a bit surprised by as an outside observer is that nobody seems to have been making much of Clinton potentially being America's first female president. I would have thought that would have invited more commentary. I suppose it's because Clinton has been involved in politics for a long time, so she doesn't seem as "fresh" as Obama did when he won. Eh, Hilary's positives are essentially "not Trump". He's really been stealing the spotlight the entire election so it's been hard to pinpoint specific historic things about Hillary when everything is so wrapped up in opposing the opposition. However, there was a lot of that poo poo during the primaries with supporters of Bearnie being labeled as misogynistic traitors for supporting "a white male" over her. It is in fact a common deflection of her criticisms from die hard fans of hers, as much of a right wing strawman as that sounds, but it's true.

CharlestheHammer posted:No Bernie did have a legit problem with his base in regards to women and minorities. I don't care for Hilary but that was a thing. I'm not denying that possibility. Maybe it was and I'm unaware, but there was also plenty of unprovoked anger because of the idea the only feminist thing to do was vote for Hillary for that reason alone(and ignorance of the fact that Sanders was Jewish). Madkal posted:That's a really great way to dismiss 25 years of public service. I don't get your point. She's better than Trump, that's what I said. Her political record is ehh, okayish? Generally, no one running for president is really all that great, though I think Hilary in particular is the most mediocre offered up by the Left in awhile even though I'd also vote for her over the last several Republican candidates.

Roth posted:I'm pretty sure the point is that Clinton has a fairly significant amount of political experience over Trump, while Trump is just now getting into politics and wasn't even all that good at what he was doing before the election. I mean, I'd rather drive an old junker than a unicycle with no seat, but I'd still prefer a car that excels as a car instead of only having the option between the junker or the unicycle.

Wheat Loaf posted:I suppose the thing you're mainly interested in in America is who gets put on the Supreme Court. I imagine you could've ended up with a situation where enough of the really hardcore Sanders people either didn't vote or voted for Trump Well lest you think I just massively hate Clinton out of hipsterish spite or something I also think the people you're describing are loving retarded and if they sink it for Clinton so they can be "principled" or whatever I'll never stop screaming.

CapnAndy posted:Fiction has delighted in doing female Presidents for so long precisely to trade on the novelty factor that it's simply lost all its novelty factor before we ever got a real one. Every other country that matters has had female leaders, it is pretty wild to think about, in retrospect, how the USA is the last holdout.

I really don't know what to do, you guys. This is too much. I really don't wanna live through this. I feel like there's no morality to anything, the universe is just a dark nihilistic void where bad guys just keep winning. There's no god or grand plan. It's just poo poo all the way down. What do I do.

Lurdiak posted:I'm so sorry Wickedhate. When did this happen? Recently enough that it all hitting at once is feeling like my blood is curdling. Ironically, it's not related to the election, they lived in the UK and had it planned out already. They talked about the subject enough that I knew to brace for it, at least. This is sort of me right now. Just sort of feel dead, so I'm rolling with my natural emotional detachment to stay sane.

"Too bad Bomberman was already taken, or it could be a lot worse" is what I'd say in regards to Banshee being an Irish stereotype if I could post in the Marvel thread. Also, upon looking it up, Bomberman was released a few years after Giant-Size X-Men, so I guess it doesn't really work.

A critical aspect: these are examples of Batmen operating simultaneously, a multitude of men sharing batlike traits, but Skwirl was asking specifically about people who donned the singular role of The Goddamn Batman himself.
