yronic heroism posted:Yeah, I guess the smear machine is already in high gear if random people are coming into D&D believing this poo poo. Payday loan offices are loving evil and often lure in the poorest and most vulnerable with the promise of FREE MONEY NOW! And almost always lands them in more debt. They should be abolished. Phone posting because I'm out running errands but someone post the John Oliver video for this page please.

I'm not gonna argue that there are not legitimate reasons to be skeptical of Booker, my problem is that the only people I ever see raising these concerns are white liberals and leftists. I also don't believe in Cory's authenticity problem or whatever. Dude seems a lot more into helping on a personal level and I'm skeptical of the circular firing squad coming after him. I also don't believe we need to start shooting these people so soon. No one's even running yet and everyone is so ready to tear down any front runner, which is especially dangerous now that we know about Russian tactics trying to tear the liberals apart by running pro Sanders and Stein ads. We need to lockstep with whoever the next nominee is. Yeah in an ideal world, we'd have a great candidate who ticks all our political boxes, but this the world where Trump is President. And splitting the vote will only assure he stays that way. Koalas March fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Sep 29, 2017 |

Heck Yes! Loam! posted:Why do you pay attention to so many random people on twitter who have lovely opinions? I can go out and find twitter users from "the left" and rage about them all day long, but that would be incredibly stupid. Why do you think posting random people that supported clinton lends weight to your viewpoint? Bravenak was right though

Ytlaya posted:Well, I mean, he's right; what the guy said was really stupid/offensive but doesn't really imply he's a literal Nazi. Can someone link to the maybe-nazi post? I mean my first instinct, especially in this climate, is to be suspicious. Some people know that being a white supremacist is frowned upon but eventually their real views leak out. I hate to break yall's hearts but there are literal white supremacists on this site that skate under the radar. And to add: the people climbing out the woodwork to defend the guy are part of the problem. Some jump to defend people who are likely to white supremacists (because either they ignore or don't see the signs) when they should be listening to poc, women, lgbt folks etc about this poo poo.

I am genuinely curious about how many posters here would be cool with reparations if it were ever legitimately on the table. I also wonder how many people would leave the DNC if they backed it.

VitalSigns posted:Yes and it makes me cautiously optimistic because that's always the last line of defense for someone who has realized their position is indefensible. Once they get to the point where they can't support their argument and have to resort to "ugh why won't you just stop caring and let me win" it's only a matter of time. D&D in particular has gotten a lot better with regards to homophobia, racism, etc. We can do better (and I try to help as much as I can) and I believe we will. I feel like there are more good faith posters who are more willing to learn than in the past, and that goes a long way. I mean now if I call someone out on a dogwhistling or microaggression some jerk will show up and be a dick but it's usually not even the person I was trying to talk to. Before I'd get dogpiled by a lot more posters. Although I will admit I have had a lot less patience lately, but that's more related to my chronic pain disorder. It flared up bad the last 2 weeks or so and it makes me irritable and more flippant, which I am not exactly proud of. I'll cop to that.

Rent-A-Cop posted:It'd be worth mentioning if it was something the American far left did, rather than just something every politician in US history has done. I think part of the problem is people get defensive and assume we are only wary of the left loving us over, rather than politicians as a whole. It happens every time, of course folks will be suspicious.

Misogyny is not limited to the GOP, unfortunately. Liberals and progressives may be more "enlightened" than the GOP on some issues but unfortunately that doesn't mean we don't have a lot of work to do. Part of that work is removing guys like Franken.
