Good thing I'm not open about being bi and nonbinary in real life, I feel unsafe about this **** in the first place.
Anyway, since I haven't been here for a couple days or something, reply dump:
Don't get me wrong I will be voting for Hillary most likely this election despite the fact that I supported Bernie in the Primaries.
Okay, hold on, where's the "despite the fact" coming from? Aren't both of them, in a relative sense of the world, liberal in at least some policies?
Also FWIW:
The "top position" that DWS was given is completely meaningless in terms of importance in the campaign - what was it, an "honorary chair"? Those are basically the "you tried" star of campaign positions (much as "honorary degrees" do not actually confer that you completed a degree), and it was probably handed to her so she'd actually quit the DNC instead of continuing to fight absolutely everyone to cling to the position for the last 6 months of her term.
I don't remember what it was, but it was definitely an "honorary" something or other. Completely meaningless. It's a "let them down easy" kind of thing.
One meme I've seen floating around is "let's just look at the candidates based on the issues"
One glaring thing left off is nuclear warfare. Common sense dictates no one thinks it is an acceptable solution so maybe not a huge issue to highlight, however with Trump in the running who thinks nuclear war is in fact an acceptable solution I think this omission is unacceptable.
I think most of us can accept that causing massive, irreparable damage to our world and causing part of it to become impossible to live in is not a good idea; even a lot of people who are deeply racist are probably not big fans of using nuclear weapons on other countries. Never minding what Donald Trump says, the guy clearly knows nothing and we all know that. Nuclear war isn't being talked about because what is there to talk about? How it's really stupid that we still have nuclear weapons? Well, yes, it is. Sometimes our country does stupid ****. There we go.
i'm just gonna point out that this DNCleak stuff doesn't actually seem to have hurt clinton, given that her lead's actually stabilized around 7-9 points (ordinarily it would start going back down right about now) and her favorables are the best they've been since last spring
Most of it is stuff people already knew or believed or speculated about anyway, though, isn't it? Is there anything really big other than "turns out Debbie Wasserman Schulz
is an assjack"? Donald Trump is losing points because he's a moron.
It's not if you lie in politics. It's if and how you get caught.
And our friend Hillary is a terrible liar. Trump is pretty sincere in his stupidity.
That's not a good thing, though. I'd rather have a person of at least modest intelligence who is a liar -- even a
bad liar -- than someone who's honest who could be outsmarted by one of my dogs.
