I'm just glad that Illinois is now back to being completely dem controlled even though it is undoubtedly going to continue to be ruined by corruption and lovely centrist politicians. Also that Scott Walker is gone, that's also very good. It's pretty bad elsewhere tho, and it wasn't really enough on the whole to make me say it was a big success or anything.

Your Taint posted:Ok so then forigve my ignorance, who would you call if, say, you knew someone was hurting a child if there was no law enforcement? Abolishing our current form of law enforcement/policing does not inherently mean that there would be no other less lovely system that would enforce the laws that would replace it. Of course that's assuming they meant it in the general leftist "abolish the police" sense.

GreyjoyBastard posted:i'm still not sure whether i like that particular adaptation of 'abolish' since it's at odds with the prior colloquial and practical use of the verb, but i don't have a better one to suggest, so i guess we're just stuck with the followup "by abolish we mean getting rid of the bad parts and the current structure and replacing it with something better, which furthermore would look something li-" Yeah I'm not a huge fan either but it seems to be the one that's seemed to stick

Ate My Balls Redux posted:I think the timing of the accusations was incredibly suspect, as well as the political affiliations of said accusers. I also think "most likely accidental grab rear end" and "12 year old poor adolescent humor" don't rise to the level of "sexmonster" when we have Trump in the big chair Every loving time someone mentions Franken in any thread you always get at least one person sprinting in to say that he was actually good and did nothing wrong. It's almost comical.

Tibalt posted:I feel that the crime Clinton committed (lying about adultery) was humanizing and relatable, and therefore helped him, while the crimes Nixon and Trump appeared to have committed (spying on your opponent to win an election, international bribery)... aren't. We forgave Clinton's coverup because statistically most of us have done the exact same thing. Pretty weird to admit to sexual assault like this but okay

Personally I think there's a bit of a difference between people who disagree with me and people who at best want me to not exist in public (and at worst dead) just because I'm dating a guy.

Your Taint posted:Lots of churches are. Hell if every single one of those Westboro Baptist fucks died a horrible death tomorrow the world would be a better place and I'd probably have a drink in celebration. As well as any of those preachers who say all gays go to hell or any of that poo poo. gently caress them. Okay cool Your Taint posted:A lot of churches are also very progressive and open and pretty chill, too. Again, it's not the religion, IMO, it's what the people who follow the religion do with that knowledge and those teachings. But this is kinda the problem. Literally no one was contesting this. It is so loving frustrating when someone points out that a specific church is homophobic and then people like you come out on a mission to defend the honor of Christians as a whole.

Your Taint posted:Really? You can think of TEN Presidents worse than Trump? And what criteria are you using to judge them? Because have there been 10 Presidents who actively worked to keep the populace so divided and attacked the Constitution every time he didn't like what was happening? Or actively colluded with our enemies to win elections? 12 presidents owned slaves at some point in their lives, apparently, so it might be easier than you think.

mod sassinator posted:Your life was just fine before Discord and you could organize all the JRPGs you wanted without Discord. Thanks to the support of friends I've made in discord servers I became fully comfortable with being gay, and was able to work through and finally get past some real bad poo poo from when I was a kid. It's pretty much THE way I talk to all of my friends, etc. So like, I dunno, having private spaces to talk semi-anonymously (or not) about poo poo is like, really important?

CAPS LOCK BROKEN posted:That's because gay marriage is a fundamentally conservative issue. US v. Windsor wasn't about the sanctity of love and marriage but wealthy white person Edith Windsor wanting to avoid paying taxes on the 6 million dollar estate she inherited from her deceased partner Thea Spyer. Which is something the "liberal" media leaves out when discussing the 360k in estate taxes the state saddled her with that she considered to be unfair: Same sex marriage is absolutely not nearly as important as most other queer issues, and it's really bad that a lot of people think that the fight is over now that ssm is legal. However to say that it's a fundamentally conservative issue feels like a tad bit much.
