I don't want to poo poo up the CE thread with this, so the political picture thread seemed like the best place.

Somebody made a highlight reel of bad choices in the latest tell-all book about the 2016 Clinton campaign. Excerpts are from "Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign." Mostly based off interviews with staffers. Thanks to the lovely nature of twitter, you'll need to click the link and scroll way up to see the start of this.

It's terrible decisions all the way down, without any self-doubt whatsoever.

Also, :lol: at the serious discussion around using "Because It's Her Turn," as the campaign's actual no-poo poo slogan, after nobody was able to articulate a reason she wanted the presidency beyond naked lust for power.

as if there werent plenty of hillary supporters that werent emotional wrecks after election night? :cmon:

but keep carrying that flag for insulting bernie supporters :rolleyes:

Bernie bros then? The regressive left? I dunno seemed odd to me that someone would be cyber-begging under the semblance of performing emotional labor by taking phone photos of someone else's book and then posting it largely without comment on twitter. Sorry if I've offended some aspect of your self identity. :rolleyes:

I thought it was because the broader conflict between France and England made the revolution a low tier priority until a couple years later when England swang that international dong on us.

But uh yeah, let's say it was about guns and not about shrewd political maneuvers.

I could be mixing up aspects of different conflicts, but the reality is that absent the support the colonies received from other European nations we would have been crushed by the English. Everyone having a gun means little if you don't have the powder and shot to use them. Attributing the success of the revolutionary army to everyone having guns is likewise reductive beyond any real point.

It was incorrect to say the revolution was a low tier priority. It was an opportunistic move by Americans that was very much a product of much broader international conflicts.

In the information era I don't think identifying the uniform of fascist sympathizers will be all that important. People reveal that they love racism pretty immediately when you look at their social media presence.

I saw someone on SA describe Rogan as "Oprah, for Bros" and that seems to cover it. Any talk show person is going to platform harmful people to some extent, that's how we got Drs. Oz and Phil.

I've watched a few of his interviews and yeah, he seems like Oprah for Bros. I don't understand why he in particular gets so much more flak than the others. Is he platforming Nazis to a greater extent than all other talk show hosts? Is it because he has connected young Nazis with disaffected young men? Ellen decorum-ed her way out the hubbub for sitting at a baseball game with GW, Fallon tousled Trump's hair and is still on every night.

It's probably because Rogan does a lot of podcasts and youtube videos, whereas Ellen and Fallon are on legacy media and most people that feel strongly about deplatforming nazis don't have cable subscriptions at the same rate that older people do.
