I have a feeling that most anti-Trump ads are just going to be shit he’s said, with no alterations, played over Ren & Stimpy-style classical music.
Oh, definitely. And there’s a reason that religions are so very regional. Many places in the world treat religions as tantamount to ethnicity, and love to blur the line between the two. The more fundamental and literal the religious interpretation, the more ethnically exclusive its adherents believe it to be.
Probably a similar mechanism at work: Social progress means that the intersections of poverty and race start to vanish. When race become less indicative of power and status, those who were once “high status” now believe themselves to be just as susceptible as everyone else to poverty. They now have something new to…
Def. If Clinton wins the primary, I actually see her favorability rising or remaining constant; Sanders’ will certainly drop a bit. Some of Clinton’s lack of favorability emerges from frustrated liberals (who should probably be more angry at Wasserman-Schultz and the party’s intramural politicking) and from her high…
Don’t vote for a centrist if you’re a liberal; don’t vote for a liberal if you’re a centrist. Seems pretty straight-forward. I’ll vote for the liberal option each step of the way. I voted for Jill Stein until I moved to a swing state. I have no problem voting for Hillary if it seems like the most viable way to get the…
Conservative women are searching for their place in the patriarchy instead of fighting it. There are abiding rules, of course. One of those rules is “keep quiet if you’re assaulted”. People who speak up when they’re hurt by a man have to turn in their imaginary maleness points, and get cast out of the system again.…
Clinton and Trump have the lowest favorability of any candidates, since they started polling favorability (like, 60+ years ago?). That sounds bad.
I hope she can excite her base enough to vote, and that base does unfortunately exclude a lot of liberals. However, while the Sanders camp wishes there were more liberal ideas from Clinton; seven months from now, they’ll be less reluctant to vote against Trump. That’s what it’ll boil down to: “Whom do you want less?”…
I agree that Clinton gets treated unfairly—and constantly and subtly disregarded for her strong record—on account of her gender.
“Wait, why isn’t my side supporting me anymore? Why won’t they believe me when the evid—ohhhhhhhh.”
So, for the record, you said “Clinton is more progressive”, “progressives can’t win”, and “Clinton will win”. I’m satisfied here.
So why did you incredulously say, “next you’ll say Obama was never a progressive” in order to reprimand me in the case I called him a centrist?
You’re the one saying Obama was a centrist, recalling the “Red State, Blue State” speech. Now you’re saying I’d be out of line to call him non-progressive?
Are you talking about a pre-Reagan tax system? Yeah, it’ll never work.
Berner? Just a liberal, fighting for liberal causes. Our opinions really are marginalized, whether you believe it or not.
You don’t have to convince me that centrism beats liberalism and progress, every time. We’ll tread water, until another Republican moves in to screw things up. Lookin’ forward to it?
Now Clinton supporters are worried about the liberal media bias? Oy vey, how right can we go?
This commenter has been demeaning liberals, demanding women and gay people and black people fall in line, and offering up excuses for how her particular centrist is supercool.
