Anyway, liberals who hate the poor do so because they accepted the 2000s era culture war framing where it was poor rural vs rich urban.

People seriously don't understand just how bad Bill Clinton was, and that it had nothing to do with him being a philandering child rapist.

rudatron posted:For mature human beings, being aware that people are products of their environment, tempers stupid & immature emotional reactions like hatred of a group of people. Rationalizing hatred as reverse-double progressiveness just means that you haven't actually internalized that fact - you're looking for an excuse for your emotional reactions, rather than challenging them.

MaxxBot posted:Hillary and Jeb! both ran campaigns that would have been more at home in the early 90s, they were way out of touch with our current political reality. I got a bit of this vibe too.

I hope at the very least JEB! and Hillary's defeats lead to candidates being more entertaining and spontaneous.

The worst part is there have been experiments done with animals on poverty and enrichment in terms of food and stimuli, which establish the causation of the exact same correlation we see in humans, but that research would be totally ignored. It's the reason why places with bigger welfare states have more social mobility by the way, which is seen as an absolute paradox by people who want to cut the social safety net.

Like I was saying in another thread, Trump is on balance more of a neoliberal than Hillary.

Azathoth posted:I follow politics and I am still having trouble understanding what people mean when they say "neoliberal", because some of the time it means "whatever the person thinks Hillary would have theoretically stood for if she'd won" and sometimes it is "warhawk populist Democrat" and sometimes it is "capitalist Democrat" and so statements like that just end up being meaningless to me. I was using the academic definition of essentially free trade + austerity + deregulation, but I can't speak for anybody else.

comedyblissoption posted:welfare reform by clinton in the 90s was a social safety net cut. clinton also tried unsuccessfully to cut medicare/social security. obama also recently tried unsuccessfully to cut medicare/social security with the Grand Bargain. obama successfully cut LIHEAP (heating assistance for poors). I forgot what other austerity obama did. comedyblissoption posted:note that whenever democrats talk about raising the retirement age for social security or say they are trying to save social security or whatever other bullshit framing they try to use, they are talking about cutting social security. they won't use the words "cut".

's are actually "left" when it comes to their opinions on political issues, but are kinda driven to become moderates, centrists and conservatives via quite a few shitheads out there.
