Discendo Vox posted:I should not have to reverse search the text of a quote to find that you're posting the National Review mediated by yahoo news. And you should think about how it is that you're winding up with that media crossing your screen. Your perspective on the race may not be as clear as you think. what on earth is this criticism its a freaking paraphrase of a quotation, and includes none of the editorializing that you object to stop hiding behind an incredibly tedious pseudoacademic elitism and actually engage with what posters say in this thread.

Discendo Vox posted:It's worth comparing the story to others, because yes, it's pretty straightforward to arrange and contextualize (or in this case, decontextualize) quotes to change the impact. NR leads with ta paraphrase and moves the actual quote downward past a framing section that establishes Youngkin's misrepresentation of the relevant legislation as fact. It also provides no other material from the debate, to make it seem like a massive own of McAuliffe and the dominant element of the event. Here are a few non-right-wing newspapers debate coverage: are you seriously trying to say that mcauliffe is blameless if he loses

We are also, technically, reconsidering threadbans, but I don't mind saying that I think those serve a useful purpose. We might adjust our terms for those but if we abolish them I was probably a voice in favor of keeping them. you or fool of sound mentioned that vital signs was on the verge of being welcomed back into USPOL. do you plan to provide a framework through which posters can be commuted from their threadbans?

Ershalim posted:Do we know if it's still true that the better-looking person always wins when it comes to televised elections? I know that used to be true of presidential elections up until every person who ran was a lich, so maybe that doesn't apply any more. But if it comes down to a media circus of these two in a heated primary, I imagine Lamb would win even if the party doesn't put its weight on the scales for him. People are venal and fickle at the best of times, and we've got a pretty clear consensus that they don't actually vote for policy, so what else would there be? Name recognition? you really underestimate just how emotionally appealing fetterman is to a certain type of voter demographic

nine-gear crow posted:Like, seriously, I get all the people clamoring for her to have been picked, but is Stacey Abrams was Biden's VP pick, Georgia's two senate seats probably stay red. Not that it probably really matters anyway because thanks to Joe Manchin and Kysten Sinema, Mitch McConnell still runs the Senate anyway, but at least here still being on the ground in Georgia and not swirled away at the Naval Observatory gives the Dems a chance to try and maybe hold onto at least one seat--she's got the time to try and cement Jon Ossoff in place by 2026, but Raphael Warnock is hosed. A universe where Stacey Abrams had enough cache to be picked as vp is very likely to be a universe where bidens entire electoral strategy is not to simply sit on the sidelines during the actual runup to election day. But, y'know, counterfactuals and all that

why the gently caress is glennchat happening in uspol of all places okay for real glenn is right about some things but he has become completely and utterly warped by his hatred of the people that he thinks wronged him (and to be fair, many of those people suck insane amounts of rear end) and has fully embraced reactionary thinking. he also is pretty much a "im not gonna say it but im saying it" transphobe; my moment i was straightup done with glenn was when he had a cohost who was talking about how trans people are stealing lesbians away and he was nodding his head going "Very cool!" so yeah gently caress glenn and gently caress his idiotic lib free speech absolutism. e: in news of other personalities, freddie deboer wrote the same loving article that he's written every year since two thousand loving eight. https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1461320326588112902 A big flaming stink fucked around with this message at 10:48 on Nov 19, 2021 |

im very much taken aback by the confidence with which people say that voting republican (or democrat) so strongly correlates with bigoted views. its been shown over and over again in voter surveys that people have insanely incoherent personal ideologies. just completely contradictory views that you would think would fall apart on the most cursory examination, and yet.... I also saw people repeatedly mention the idea that the only way a republican voter could not be bigoted would be if they were "incredibly ignorant" of the gop's policies. do you understand the degree to which our engagement in politics is aberrant? people absolutely pull the lever, put on the bumper sticker, and spend zero neurons ever considering what policies actually result from their exercising of the franchise. im not going deny that voting republican can be a reason to feel trepidation about a person's ideology, but it is absolutely not sufficient to form any conclusions about the degree of bigotry that person supports. e: well, you can be pretty certain that person has bigoted attitudes, but only because they are an american shaped by the material conditions present in american society, but that applies to everyone. e2: Fame Douglas posted:Yeah, there's always that one fascist with a heart of gold you don't want to get away. almost every american tacitly supports an insanely bloody and brutal extraction of wealth in the global south. this attitude of systemically devaluing the lives of the oppressed is absolutely endemic in society at large. and people don't even pay it the slightest mind, because it is everywhere. its like a fish and water. people are ignorant of the actual effects of what they tacitly support because they are incentivized (and even coerced) by material conditions and the institutions of capitalism to be so.
