Yeah it sucks when it happens to your team but I think the main problem is the fucker got elected to begin with. Candidates should be better vetted than this. 

Side note: Kinja has been so fucked on mobile that it’s a minor miracle that I can get any comments to load. Like if I don’t get out of the gray and someone who isn’t approved replies to me chances are I’ll never see the full comment. Is this happening to others?

It’s not even the grays.  People saying “It’s the south” or “It’s the 80’s what do you expect” and wondering why people are surprised and upset. None of them out and out saying blackface is cool and good. But a disturbing amount who suddenly think it’s no big deal once there’s a chance a Republican could sleaze his…

Looking forward to all the so called progressives on this site who spent the morning downplaying blackface break their arms trying to wave this away. Great comment section we have here. 

Judging by his proclivities they assumed he had already gotten the clap.

Holy fucking shit the liberals in these comments trying to find a way to downplay blackface.

“Republicans, Trump included, are terrified that these ideas will gain so much popularity that they’ll be unable to oppose them”

So what’s the plan here? You’ve found a website for leftists by leftists and you hang around all day trying to start fights with them. What’s the endgame?

So it absolutely has nothing to do with one being propped up by the U.S. and the other being strangled by it.

“First, she is much too smart to tie the economy to one product that fluctuates wildly like that idiot Chavez did with oil”

Honestly isn’t that the point of politics? Getting the person with the winning smile into office and then checking out of the process immediately? Who cares what they do next the horse race is over!

Counterpoint: He’s a wee chudlet who’s increasingly thirsty attempts to get AOC to notice him are a constant delight.

Yeah, make room for the #resistance shitposters!

Meaning the people who treat politics as sport and who’s lives are not meaningfully impacted by it would love an opportunity to shout you down for offering even a tepid defense of Sanders. 

All of the 46 year old white finance guys with Beto2020 in their bios would like to have a word with you. 

This incremental philosophy is how you get candidates who constantly walk back their support for popular policies. If they can count on your vote no matter what then they don’t owe you shit. On the other hand if you drop 100k into their campaign war chest then you can basically write their policy goals for them. 

If he gets that far he should go for broke and motorboat him as well.

You heard the man. A better world just isn’t possible. Why bother when you have the status quo to uphold?
