The thing is though the emancipation of the slaves in Meereen has absolutely no parallels to US emancipation because they still would be living in a feudal monarchy. Dany doesn’t want to remove the hierarchies and give reparations to the slaves, she wants them to follow her orders with marginally more freedom.

A poll after Obama won the Dem nominee showed that 35% of Clinton supporters didn’t want to vote for him. You are simply rewriting history.

Thanks for explaining my own countries politics to me. You can entirely get the fuck out of here with your classist welfare bashing nonsense though.

And I abhor voter suppression.

They may have to answer for the effects of their actions, but not their lives.

That is a fair viewpoint, however I expect this attitude will likely only last when the choices in question are deemed wrong or bad in some way. There is also a secondary point however, in that it is none of your/our business in some ways how people live their lives. They don’t owe anyone a justification just because…

You forgot the 3rd, ‘I succeeded because I worked hard and deserved it, if I can do that others can. They don’t need these hand outs, I didn’t’. It is the vein that runs throughout all right wing politics.

So what is your solution then? Everybody lives exactly the life you prescribe else they lack true autonomy?

Same as in the UK, lots of 2nd/3rd generation Asian immigrants are anti-EU migrants. A majority of British Asians voted conservative at the last UK election. Self interest rules all.

Thanks, I have a friend who has read the books and she doesn’t really rate Gabaldon as a writer at all. Very tropey apparently.

Thanks, yeah I will probably keep watching but I don’t watch it weekly anymore I generally just catch them up a few episodes at a time. Feel it is a long way behind Season 1 (and I had some huge problems with how that ended) so far.

This season has been really bad so far in my opinion, I’ve found it boring. Book readers does it get exciting again soon?

Wow that is amazing. “You are getting it for free, so what if it sucks” That is absolutely hilarious.

Her staff doesn’t ethnically demographically represent the US, perhaps you didn’t know that. Although is the best out of anyone running which she deserves credit for however this promise to match cabinet to US demographics would be a change of tact albeit a welcome one.

Yeah, I am skeptical that we will see any diversity other than giving jobs to lots of white women but we shall see

So 17% of her cabinet are going to be Latinos and Latinas! That would be excellent, hope she follows through.

That is a pretty good piece, some garbage that excuses the violence the US causes all over the world and Clinton’s complicity in it but then again clowns like you aren’t bothered about that are you. On the whole it is good though.

Lol ambushed the Pope. You joker, he slapped her down. Who cares anyway, it is a ridiculous point but worthless liberals. Sanders/Clinton are both awful, and your country is D.O.A for any actual progressive politics. Sucks to be you!

Wow, what a minor technicality. She was slapped down by a more senior ranking member after lying. Simple.
