ok those are bad examples. that is a problem i have, i try to make a point and pick bad examples that then get picked at and before you know it i am arguing a point that is far removed from what i originally wanted to say. then i get called out for being inconsistent or incoherent.

i spelled his damn name wrong!

i'm beginning to imagine scenarios where kasich is president; every other damn thing is just as implausible, i could see it.

New anti-Trump ad from a conservative PAC. They aren't even recommending viewers vote *for* someone, just *against* Trump.

Two more staffers for Breitbart have resigned from the company, citing the website's pro-Donald Trump stance.

National security correspondent Jordan Schachtel and associate editor Jarrett Stepman sent their resignations to management on Monday afternoon.

i'm about 40% sure someone just made up the names "Jordan Schachtel" and "Jarrett Stepman" for this article but ok

Those are actually pseudonyms that Ben Shapiro's mom and uncle use for the site.

this is compared to other Western democracies. for instance national health care. or not dropping nukes on other countries.

... having a self confessed socialist running for president.

It is considered shameful in the national healthcare paradise that is the UK in 2016.

I kind of wish that anti-Trump ad didn't have to fall back on the old "our mothers, our sisters, our daughters" line, but I guess the intended audience is conservative so oh well.

What's wrong with that line? They have to tie it up somehow. The alternative would just be hours of clips of Trump being an asshole.

Because you shouldn't really need a reason for it not to be ok to insult women? Like it shouldn't have to be tied to their relationship to someone else, just insulting women in itself is bad because they are people?

unfortunately some people need to be occasionally reminded that they some of their dear relatives are women

xpost Eh, I (obviously) didn't get that. They're just making it personal, from a rhetorical standpoint. I mean, if you even have to give someone a reason to vote against against a racist fascist asshole, then pretty much all bets are off.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 14 March 2016 20:30 (eight years ago) link

You shouldn't need a reason, but people are absolutely fucking dumb enough -especially people who may still at this point be on the fence about trump. "Oh this half of the population is someone's mother, sister, daughter" is probably the only shot you have at creating some kind of empathy

Xps

i don't really believe in 'socialists' anymore tbh. we're all just quibbling over the details of the mixed economy and discourse would be way less annoying if everyone just admitted it instead of posturing

Not socialist, but socialish.

Anyway, heard someone on the radio today, a former super delegate talking about ... super delegatry. She and the host were talking about how the Republicans probably wish they had super delegates, to stop Trump, but she basically said that would only lead to chaos, and that the time to stop Trump was months ago, or weeks ago, and that now it's probably too late for the GOP to stop him. I'd say the same goes for mainstream Democrats finally waking up and criticizing him for the same shit he's been doing for 6 months. What took her so long? What took anyone so long? Years ago it was the birther bullshit, and then the shithead basically started his campaign of terror by calling John McCain a coward for getting shot down. It's been all downhill from there.

cos it's the primary! the arrows are usually pointed inward at that time, and when you're trying to secure your own party's nom, you might be paying less attention to the simpering, bowlegged buffoon in the other race

Trump always seems so childish and silly at these rallies, bright orange, doing that prissy circular finger-waving thing

would explain why he told protesters to shut their mouths
