General Politics Discussion [ARCHIVED] • Page 19

I just have to say, woah. Major changes. Glad to see the politics forum made the cut.

 

Knowing HRC she's embarrassed about a joke in one of these speech transcripts

 

Can someone more informed than I give me a run-down of what has happened in Brazil and why it's being framed in the media as a referendum on socialist doctrine being for exploitative economic illiterates?

 

New York Primary today. Gonna be a long day.

 

On Becoming Anti-Bernie

interesting read. wish there were more links to claims instead of her just writing these things though.

 

A Coup in Brazil? | Jacobin

 

I'd refer to number 3.

 

By the way, Hillary saying she carries hot sauce around with her is pretty damn sickening. There are no depths she to which she won't sink.

 

do you not believe her? i didnt either and rolled my eyes but then i saw this:

 

My issue was, she's clearly saying it to play to some perception she has of the black community.

 

I'm out of touche with my racial cliches, didn't realize hot sauce was a perceived black thing.

 

Yea, I generally have at least three different hot sauces in my fridge at any time

 

among my friends and family we generally have a phrase called "white people spicy" so I highly doubt she carries hot sauce on her at all times.

 

is white people spicy equivalent with food chain spicy, because it should at least be higher on the spicy chain than that.

 

It's whenever a waitress says, "you sure?" or "it's the hottest," and I reply, "I think I got this, Cheryl."

Someone writes a piece supporting a candidate I like? Here lets share it for how insightful it is! This person's opinion (and thus this person) has value because it agrees with my own or at the very least challenges my beliefs in a comfortable manner!

Someone writes a piece supporting a candidate I don't like? Here lets dismiss it as an "insignificant solipsistic journey"!

 

I think the point was about article types, not reader reaction.

 

I lived in OKC in 1995. Our windows shook 2 miles away.

 

No need to worry, folks. Obamacare's refusal to eliminate the profit motive from healthcare was totally a good idea.

UnitedHealth Group to exit Obamacare exchanges in all but a ‘handful’ of states

 

WAIT YOURE HERE! nice

 

Donald Trump projected to win, no surprise there. Exit poll results predict Hillary leads 52%-48%. Gonna be interesting.

 

Trump is sowing the seeds hard for revolt if he doesn't get the nomination. The Republican Party is so fucked.

 

Bernie lost.

 

Clinton wins. Bleh. Figured she would but had hopes for a Bernie surprise win.

 

Dammit. Thought it was gonna be a lot closer than this. Still a lot of votes left but a loss of 20+ points would be terrible.
