Obama ran on "hope" and "change" expecting to deliver neither, and delivering neither. He had no idea how anything worked. He was the pinnacle of the tech-bro era mindset, where it's about manipulating optics and not realizing that only works for so long. If he'd instituted or even pushed for a $20 minimum wage, Hillary would be president.

'manipulating optics' is a nice way to put 'shamelessly transparent propaganda' but ya this

No, it referred to a Nazi joke. You don't read articles i guess.

But maybe i just don't 'get' pdp.

the content of articles is pretty much the least important part of them. it's not like they have actual writers, just unpaid 20-something interns who have never left the western seaboard. if the rise of clickbait titles hasn't clued you in the titles are pretty much the only important part of articles because they get more impressions than the text of the article and it is the primary hook for clicks, which is the thing that makes them money. and it was an anti-semitic joke and not really a nazi joke so the only reason they would say it's a nazi joke is to make the implication that pewdiepie is a nazi. if you are orchestrating a hit campaign that is pretyt much exactly what you do, you write articles that slightlyu misconstrue the situation and make associations between the target and a straw man such as that the anti semitism that a person exhibits makes them a nazi, which while related has much broader and worse implications than a jew joke

pretty much. she tried way hard to be hip, sure that can work, obama did it well enough. but she was a wonk and all the pep and congeniality came off as articfical as gently caress. it didnt help that she had idiot rich woke celebes like dunham and other going around and acting like she was some magical saint of progressive Idpolics, is that a good thing, sure, but this wasn't a idpol centered election, it was a economic one. and trump made poo poo up and sounded better by playing the populist who would bring back jobs and saying enough bigoted poo poo to get the hard right and alt right interested. clinton just did nothing and then would play the victim card and give alt right dickheads limelight. everything either came off as either desperate or snobbishly calculated.

My teenage sister made some crack about 'pokemon go to the polls' way back before the election and I knew it was a death knell for her campaign because if they couldnt get the most tribalist, impressionable, and desperate group for validation to think she's hip using a strategy that exclusively appeals to those traits she couldn't win

So what's the deal with Benghazi? People make a big fuss but has anyone actually articulated what Hillary personally did wrong? As far I can tell she didn't increase security after a request for more security, but that seems like more of an oversight rather than "treason", since the state department probably deals with thousands of different communications/requests on a daily basis.

I just ask because looking back the right-wing media were going rabid about it for years afterward leading up until the election and now you don't hear about it.

the state department under hillary turned down requests for aid when vile rat is on record saying they were positive there was going to be a raid on the compound DAYS before he died in a raid on the compound. so i guess you can hem and haw about how what degree of personal responsibility clinton has in those deaths but even pragmatically looking at the situation there's really no way you can spin it positively besides 'oh well theres nothing we could have done!!' and guess what angle they took

I still have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that were actually people for hillary, I totally get being against trump but being for hillary just doesn't compute.

it was entirely people who wanted a female president. there was literally no other angle provided by the campaign or really covered in any publicity or advertising. plus people really susceptible to mass media propaganda just lapped up the pro hillary angle without even really thinking about it and you can tell by catching a lot of nonsensical rhetoric from them or assertions that things are entirely separate from how they are in reality

its hard to wrap your mind around being a total loving tool but like that's like 80% of the population. there are people that think trevor noah is funny and that the daily show is news.

All the clips that are supposed to attract me to watch The Daily Show, Problematic, or that comedian karaoke show are cringey as gently caress and have the opposite effect.

no no no. you're thinking about it. that's entirely the opposite of what you're supposed to do. you're just supposed to watch it and be passively indoctrinated. you aren't supposed to make conscious decisions about what you choose to watch, you just put the boob tube on the funnie channel and laugh, silly!

If Hillary took Elizabeth Warren as a running mate, she would have won. Kaine had zero going for him other than the fact he enabled DNC garbage in the past. Mike Pence is an anti-gay arch-conservative and he's probably more qualified to do the job of president than Kaine, Clinton and Trump all combined.

i was really surprised when the media tried to amp up people's fears with rhetoric about Bannon being the mastermind of the presidency and how brietbart is going to control the country when he's visibly an alcoholic with no experience and they have a fuckin lich's phylactery at their beck and call with Pence

You'd think with all her years as a public figure and all her media coaches and advisors she'd know how not to act like an awkward retard in public.

Or maybe just everything was so calculated it came all the way back around and made her look the same as if she was a weird autist namedropping things she has heard of.

Hillary is one of those people who leaves out the "dash Tabasco" in a recipe, if she cooked at all, which she doesn't because she has some brown people to do it for her.

the asnwer is the internet

if you have the press in your back pocket and they will only publish exactly what you want them to say, and you vastly overestimate the relevancy of mass media compared to its importance 20 years ago , you might forget that there are dozens of hd cameras trained on you at any given moment by random schmucks and just one of them has the potential to 'go viral' when the dildo slips out of her pussy and she gets thrown into a van like a side of pork

the entire campaign is full of events like that which Officially never happened or there is some long winded explanation as to how hillary actually didn't collapse or had a perfectly reasonable reason to do so but none of that matters when people aren't watching the clip on The Daily Show they're watching it on twitter

like no poo poo the entire success of the campaign was predicated on the ability of the campaign and the media to control public perception and while they are still capable of doing so their understanding of 'the media' is straight out of 1997 and what do you know they lost the election so hard they were totally blindsided
