JeffersonClay posted:There's nothing wrong with attacking prison labor, and if you were calling out FDR as a slaver each and every time his name is mentioned nobody would be suggesting you were using prison labor as a cudgel. But you don't. It's weird to focus on a few dozen convicted murderers working in the governors mansion and ignore a hundred thousand Japanese Americans, denied due process, building infrastructure for no pay, if your real goal is to dismantle the state's use of unpaid prison labor. Amazing.

Nobody talks about the GOP's stance on things because it's well known that they are complete poo poo. It's like getting pissy about us not taking into consideration flat-earthers in a discussion about the orbit of the ISS.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Actually I support the abolishment of the Senate and SCOTUS, which was in the 1912 Socialist platform and seems like a necessary step to start getting "consent of the governed". Just looked this up and god drat it's sad that it's taken over 100 years for the US to even start inching its way towards this poo poo.

Helsing posted:Reminder that by Schumer's own account his political compass is literally a family he made up that have the ideas he just kind of assumes they'd have. Also when he meets actual human beings who are roughly the same demographics as his imaginary couple he's openly dissapointed that they don't match his deal. Gotta love the fact most, if not all, of our government is being run by olds who's brains are at best half melted and consumed by plaque. I forget the one story where someone who works in DC said they were shocked by the amount of meds prescribed for that stuff.

Office Pig posted:Going from Russian bots to GRU agents is something magical, I tell you hwat It's pretty hilarious seeing centrists become the insane conspiracy theorist they mocked only a few years ago. Edit: also, the reason why all the Trump thread posters suck poo poo is that politics is merely a team sport to them and every last one of them lack a moral/policy framework to their political beliefs. That's how you get people saying they'd vote for loving Hitler if he was (D-OH). BadOptics fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Oct 6, 2018 |

Not a Step posted:You're not even in it to improve life for anyone, just to win your game of sportsball against Rival Team. Fulchrum is an affluent white male; he has nothing to lose in maintaining the status quo. Millions dead in the third world due to climate change by 2100? Well, you just gotta work with the capitalist system you've been given and make it suck a little less for us in the 1st world. Every other industrialized nation has a way to provide healthcare to their citizens in a sane manner any yet in the US people go into extreme debt for basic medical care? Well them's just the breaks. No loving wonder third way centrists hemorrhaged seats at the local, state, and federal level. People want things to be better, not "suck less". Fulchrum posted:That part kind of takes care of itself if you just remove all political agency from the people actively trying to make the world worse. That's not how the real world works; you can still stop horrible poo poo from happening and then do jack poo poo to improve people's lives. See 2008-2016 where basic poo poo like "Do gay men and women have to right to marry someone of the same sex?" required the population to drag an "evolving" Democratic Party to the answer of "Of course yes you dipshits". Or letting the financial sector and corporations totally off the hook for almost nuking the global economy. In the context of lovely US politics I guess that's correct; in any other country they wouldn't even be close to the left/center.

Lightning Knight posted:I do not disagree with you or the spirit of the post he made, just that, that phrasing distorts who was actually doing the work of getting the Democrats to get better on the issue and obtain rights for LGBT issues. Yeah, saying "the population" is a bit to broad in hindsight, but I think we're on the same page in terms of what I was trying to get at.

Ardennes posted:To be fair, maybe it is time for both sides to "learn to live with each other" and having Trump and the rest of US Politics separated doesn't make much sense rhetorically. That said, I can understand from the perspective of moderators since that thread is going to be to be lit. I remember a former mod a few days ago giving LK the advice of "if it's not breaking the SA forum rules, just mark the report as resolved", so hopefully that's the game plan. Edit: And no racism/slurs.

Condiv posted:wait, there's actually people cheering for someone to die at the hand of fascist death squads in the trump thread? If there's one thing I've learned from the Revolutions podcast, it's that the comfortable centrists/middle class will 100% of the time align with the right wing/reactionaries.

You can't be loving be bipartisan without passing poo poo Trump wants.
