nomadologique posted:maybe the unlimited evidence that moral compromise is a necessity of real world operation should make an honest, thoughtful person raise an eyebrow at moral justification of any kind ... ? Serving the interests of global capitalism with devastating effects for the global poor is one hell of a moral compromise dude. Yea tough decisions need to be made but maybe presidents can start making tough decisions in service of the lowly American citizen.

Thirsty Girl posted:Actually, the sitting executive branch has made it plainly obvious they have no qualms lying to the public and elected politicians, acting counter to decency on any issue, and generally being crookedly inept, or is that ineptly crooked? Then both are hosed up and you don't have to align yourself with either one just because you dislike the other more

nomadologique posted:they are you idiot. you are so much richer than 99% of the global population it would make your head spin if you ever sat down and tried to get some perspective. The enlightenment dripping from your posts looks and smells an awful lot like poo poo. I bet the president believes he's helping the American people but somehow the rich are still getting immeasurably richer and the poor get poorer so on and so forth the American machine marches on to the benefit of few

You don't get the funding and support to be seriously considered for the presidency without falling into a narrow realm of acceptable stances on the issues. Turns out too many cycles of this similarity among leaders results in outsider oafs appearing attractive to voters. Sarah Palin was a warning shot

This isn't a winning strategy if they don't have someone of their own who can motivate a large chunk of those who stay home on election day for lack of a candidate worth supporting. All the people who voted for Trump are reliably republican and won't be swayed. Swing voters are mostly myth.

Moridin920 posted:What are you basing that on? http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/research/unpublished/swing_voters.pdf It's a pdf and I'm phone posting otherwise I'd pull out choice bits. but it makes an interesting case that poll fluctuations are over interpreted to mean changes in voter attitudes (a satisfying narrative) when it more likely indicates a sample selection bias

T.S. Smelliot posted:I'm honestly not saying this to be a dick, can you comment after the fact on whether they hosed up just as predictably bad or not? Not sure I understand, you want me to weigh in after the vote to reflect on whether they behaved as stupidly as you and I expect they will? Because if so, absolutely. The chair vote will determine whether the party is at the very least willing to pay lip service to the left wing of the party (can't be worse than their behavior last year) or stay the course

Pawn 17 posted:From what I have read, all top DNC chair candidates explain the election loss as "Talked too much about how bad Trump is and forgot to campaign in all 50 states." and that's it. I think most still want to focus on identity politics with the long term strategy of waiting for the demographics to shift (less white people). Personally, I think that's not only a terrible strategy but also incredibly divisive and bad for the country. Perez has admitted that Hillary's "not trump" platform, while accurate, is not a winning strategy And Ellison has come dangerously close to saying democrats should consider courting liberals and youth Toadvine fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Feb 22, 2017 |

I said come in! posted:This is so stupid. A word doesnt stop holding meaning because you saw a lot of people on the internet use it. Everyone on the internet talks about cats, do cats not exist anymore? It's simple: calling everyone a racist or a Nazi dilutes the efficacy of that criticism. This is the moral of the story the boy who cried wolf.

I said come in! posted:Minorities get called terrorists, thugs, murderers, and rapists, some of these groups are being called that by our own president. I think white people can handle being called racist. You're pretty thin skinned and have zero perspective on the world if you're upset by this to the point where you want to pretend a word no longer means anything. Do you think every white person who gets called racist actually is racist? Have you read The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
