The Joke is on him. America was never a democracy. The founding fathers didn’t even think landowning white men were smart enough to run a democracy so they instituted a republic and the electoral college. Just because more than white men can vote now, doesn’t change the fact that at its core our government was never…

There’s a difference between working for a customer you don’t particularly like (or even loath) vs publicly acting to prop up and celebrate them. More than that, because this isn’t just “a job” they have to deal with becoming a propaganda tool for a politician who supports legislature that may directly seek to negate…

Forced labor is not a good look for a supposedly “free country.”

So I can hate blackness or Islam as structural problems without hating Blacks or Muslims? I don’t think that reasoning would fly with any of those groups.

I have a problem with the course’s name. If there was a class called the “The Problem of Blackness,” or “The Problem of Hispanics,” or “The Problem of Jewishness” this website would be up in arms. Being born a particular way isn’t a problem. Nor should it be treated as such.

First they came for the Youtube pranksters, and I said nothing because seriously fuck those guys.

Delta sucks as an airline and has shown its ass in the news recently, but the words “YouTube Prankster” are among the worst in the English language. Team Meteor Strike.

... I mean, The Boy Who Cried Wolf is still a well-known fable because it’s still remarkably relevant to modern society. When someone has done tons of “pranks” in the past that involve lying about something happening to him (including one specifically about being racially profiled for being Muslim), I think it’s…

1) really not outraged

That person’s reasoning is nonsense. The director made a judgment call. The goal was to be diverse and avoid outdated stereotypes that are offensive today. So they had one character Asian, another black, and another made from male to female and of Celtic origin.

...but you only think they would have because they aren’t crooked are white men.

It’s more than that. It was how he talked. We saw a bloviating idiot, his supporters saw someone shooting from the hip. Plus, let’s not act like HRC was some community organizer.

Yep, and that is where that charisma thing works. When Hillary apologized for her mistakes, she was “pandering.” When Biden apologizes, he is believed. Makes me want to rip my hair out.

Well, ultimately we both have the same amount of evidence (I’m not a fan of what ifs? for exactly this reason). I think Biden is more charismatic and able to connect than HRC.

Wait… So you don’t think a Democrat white guy could have beaten a Republican white guy?

I think Joe would have won because I’ve come to the conclusion that the presidency is clearly just a charisma contest. Nobody cares about policy or qualifications; is there any policy reason that explains why the people of Ohio picked Obama over Romney but Bush over Kerry? Demographics didn’t change THAT much. It’s…

You know, because Hillary totally didn’t have a multi-pronged and detailed jobs and infrastructure program as a central part of her platform or anything

We need someone who is COOL, INTERESTING and TALL to run for president. That’s who wins. The “cooler” candidate. The less nerdy one. I’m telling you, seriously. it’s that simple.
