It's probably because everyone in the Democratic party is afraid of her. Cross her and she'll have your career ruined, or worse. Bill tried to talk some sense into her, but there's just no use.

Hillary lost to Donald Trump. Donald Trump. That guy. She also may have killed the entire Democratic party. In ancient Rome and medieval Japan, if you hosed that bad, you'd typically go for an honorable suicide over living in disgrace. However, she is a dishonorable p'takh not worthy to enter into sto'vo'kor

OXBALLS DOT COM posted:It forcing a schism between Lowtax and his mods and admins The past 4 or so years caused a huge schism in the left wing period, culminating in the primary election. The USA is extremely divided these days, and it's more than just between Republicans and Democrats. The left basically ate itself alive. Liberals have spent so much time and effort attacking their own base that of course the GOP won everywhere.

Hot take: I think Donald Trump is pretty much indifferent to things like gays or minorities and is way more interested in things like: *making money *being popular *boosting his ego I kinda get the sense that things like race, sexual orientation and any desire to even learn the names of what country he has people bombing are not even on his radar.

I like Tulsi Gabbard but her political career is basically over because she has you know, integrity. She's on the poo poo list and won't be allowed to run. The fact that Bernie Sanders actually managed to become a senator and run for president is practically a miracle. In our broken political system, you have to sell your soul to the devil to get anywhere.

It's a bunch of adults playing pretend that they're freedom fighters because the new Star Wars movie has a group called the Resistance, but instead of putting their lives on the line and being an actual resistance movement, they instead spit out hashtags on social media and put "the resistance" on bumper stickers. God, I hate hashtags. They're so stupid. Whenever I see someone use a hashtag I want to give them a swift kick to the balls \ ovaries.

Pump it up! Do it! posted:So I checked out this Tulsi Gabbard and what the gently caress? Why the hell doesn't the democrats just tell Clinton to gently caress off somewhere and go 100 % for Gabbard? I mean she's a veteran, seems competent, is ethnic, is very attractive and seems like she actually have some integrity. It's because Tulsi Gabbard is an actual decent human being with some integrity and not a soulless corporate shill, so therefore she's the devil. See also: Bernie Sanders. And as an added bonus, she has a vagina, is ethnic and hindu, which would be a giant "gently caress you" to millions of poo poo stains who swear up and down that misogyny is why Hillary Clinton lost and not, well, Hillary Clinton being an awful human being regardless of gender. COMRADES posted:Or maybe it's because when you're rich in this country you can just do literally anything you want include run a sex slave island for underage children and receive no real repercussions if/when you are caught. This is typically the case, and has been the case for thousands of years. Bill Cosby got away with being a serial rapist for decades. Woody Allen most likely molests kids. Having a poo poo ton of money more or less gives you a free pass when it comes to raping and murdering people.

phasmid posted:Are people really falling for this "join the resistance" poo poo? Like, sincerely believing it? It's the dumbest most cringeworthy poo poo. Whenever someone is like "I'm with #TheResistance!" I just feel so deeply embarrassed. The thing about Resistance movements is that you actually fight people and die. And you know, the French Resistance didn't brag about it in the open, because if they did, the Nazis would kill them. The thing about a Resistance movement is that it's secret you doofs. It's grown adults pretending that they're revolutionaries, but at the end of the day, that's it. They're playing pretend and doing nothing but inflating their own self-worth. It's beyond pathetic, delusional and it's a mockery of people who gave their lives in WWII fighting the Nazis.

Sarah Silverman was the worst. I've lost a lot of respect for a lot of celebs recently but she takes the cake.

Yeah Jimmy Dore is pretty cool. So is David Rubin. Both are former members of the Young Turks who jumped ship when they realized that Cenk is an angry idiot and Anna is a psycho bitch. It looks like the tide is finally turning on all the insane SJW poo poo. I used to be one until I finally realized I was being a huge rear end in a top hat, and a stupid one at that. I was hoping that I had just gotten into it early and others would eventually get sick of it and see the light and that finally seems to be happening. We have people like Laci Green and Ian Miles Cheong having a change of heart. If I can change, and they can change, more people can too. This is a huge sigh of relief for me. Everydayfeminism is going bankrupt. Gawker went kaput. People see college kids rioting on campus and have begun to realize just how insane and awful it is. We're starting to even have some famous people like Bill Maher call them out on their bullshit. Hillary Clinton bombed spectacularly. I'm not a fighter by nature and I've grown weary of this state of "war." I'm tired of all this fighting and animosity between people. I just want peace and for people to get along. It's finally looking like an end is on the horizon. I just want a return to normalcy after all this madness.

spacetoaster posted:I was actually at a thing the other day and the speaker asked the group if any of them had any republican friends (like 3 people out of 30 raised their hands). She then told everyone that they should make an effort to actually make some friends outside of their comfort zones and that actually drew some groans and "yeah rights" from the crowd (because 50% of the country are literal evil monsters you see). I think a big thing that changed me was I made an effort to actually be friendly with people who I don't agree with. Yes, even Republicans. A huge number of people at my work are Republicans, because I live in the South after all. I realized "you know, these people aren't evil. They're good people." I reconciled with my parents. They're good people, too. I'll work with people in Order Entry who are mainly older women. I'll work with people in the factory who are working class and not college educated. Probably half are rednecks and the other half are black. And you know what? They're decent, normal people. Sometimes you just gotta get out there and meet people. Get off the computer and meet real people. Leave the college campus and meet some people. Once you actually go out there and meet people, you'll find out that they're not so bad.

basic hitler posted:it's not even hard to have friends with wildly oppositional politics. I don't know how or why so many people forgot that it used to be pretty commonplace. The internet really loving sucks for how it's really let people curate the ideology of what you see and what you hear, and it's really breaking some retards brains by living in self-made echo chambers For real. The thing with Internet echo chambers though is it's getting to the point where radicals online and cannibalizing themselves to such an extreme that they can't be friends with anyone, because they can't handle any contrary opinions and you can't find someone who agrees with you 100% on everything. I think that's why this poo poo is on the decline. You keep weeding out people who aren't ideologically pure and eventually you have no one left.

spacetoaster posted:There's actually a lot of ways people on either side of the "aisle" could work together. Yeah. And recent studies have even shown that you need both liberals and conservatives to even function as a society. Conservatives tend to be harder working but less creative. Liberals will start a business and then conservatives will keep it running. If you were to gather up everyone who thinks a certain way or has a particular personality type, put them on a train and sent them straight into a concentration camp, society couldn't function. I'm sure there's a lot of liberals who wish they could just make all conservatives go away forever, and visa versa, but this is incredibly foolish thinking. Chomp8645 posted:lol I heard about Pewdiepie and JonTron but what the heck kind of controversy did the AVGN find himself in???? He dared to say that he wasn't interested in seeing the Ghostbusters remake because he has a strong attachment to the original and the remake didn't look funny.

basic hitler posted:if you say the words "virtue signalling" like that, it really just sounds like you're trying to demonize people who are trying to be decent people. Obviously twitter warriors launching into a tweet chain are failing at that, but their failings aren't with their attempt to be virtuous, but with the unabashed vanity and ego with which they employ so much of their time into putting on display in a medium that's explicitly hostile to meaningful thought and expression. I stopped using twitter because I think the whole thing with trying to get likes and retweets and posting all the inane day to day stuff you encounter like the world revolves around you essentially turns people into narcissistic psychopaths If you try to do good things for a pat on the back or approval, you're doing them for the wrong reason. An act of kindness is reward enough in and of itself, and doesn't need to be shouted to the world to seek validation from others.

I was an ardent Bernie supporter and I knew from day one that he would accomplish nothing thanks to congress. I liked him because he was a decent human being and while he would make no forward progress, giving him a veto power would have at least protected America from any particularly evil legislation going through. He wouldn't have been a sword used to get what we want, but rather a shield to protect what still have. I really do wonder whether Hillary would have been better than Trump. We'll never know. Sometimes I think while President Trump is a bad thing, on the plus side, the guy has no clue what he's doing and also has no verbal filter, and thus will live tweet out everything stupid and corrupt he does for the whole world to see. Hillary would also do really shady stuff that would hurt the American people greatly, but she would do it behind closed doors while well-off liberals who have no idea what life is like for the working class blindly sing her praises.
