General Politics Discussion [ARCHIVED] • Page 301

Of course the issues aren't simple but we can't write a dissertation about international politics every time we discuss military interventionist policies.

obama's military policy does not preclude clinton from being a war hawk

that definition of hawkish has been around for years, i dont know if you were under a rock since 2008 but the term deficit hawk was even thrown around on cable television, it's not some obscure thing i made up lol, this is ridiculous

again simply because we have presidents and leaders who are also hawkish does not mean that she herself is not. any reasonable person understands what is meant by "war hawk" because it is a common term in american politics and has been for literally centuries, almost our entire national history, if you have a problem with an adjective because its a shortcut im gonna have some really bad news to break to you about the way the english language works

 

"I made my own final break from one kind of reformism—a strong and active reformism of the majority of the British Labour movement—in 1966, when the long-looked-for condition of a large Labour parliamentary majority, with five years of peacetime government ahead of it, was at last achieved and was turned, very rapidly, into the opposite of what had been expected: not into social democracy, or into reformism, but into an actual and necessary agency of the mutation of capitalism by the representative incorporation of the working class. This has been much more evident and open in the new period since 1973, but now in conditions where the price of full incorporation (the capitalist version of reformism) is too high for the system to pay, and where the form of incorporation must include the substance of actual defeat of major sectors of the working class, in prolonged mass unemployment and in the restoration of the absolute prerogatives of capital."

It's about damn time we get a South Carolina poll. If only we can allocate just like 10% of the resources spent on national polls to state polls on non-"battleground" states. Lemme see some numbers in the Dakotas!

 

The buzzkills over at the DEA will keep marijuana classified as a Scheduled 1 drug.

 

You missed my point. This time, I don't care to explain.

 

Someone should tell him them South Carolina shouldn't be tight. :wink:

 

God I'd love to just chill with Obama at a bar and shoot the shit with him someday

 

(False)

 

Someone needs to tell him that ISIS was actually founded in 1999.

 

I find it funny yet disheartening that there's a heroin crisis going on that's fueled by opioid pain medication and yet, the DEA wants to act like marijuana needs to remain a Schedule 1 drug.

 

He's trying the same shit he did in the primary. Lie. Make things up. Call names. But now it's not working.

 

because if there is one thing you can say about this years presidential election cycle, its that its been by the book and followed the trends set by other cycles to a T.

 

When crooked Hillary was first lady

 

Maybe. But you're really just talking about the republican primary and that's over now, so maybe not?
