General Politics Discussion [ARCHIVED] • Page 375

I have no idea. I stopped watching. I feel like it's cultural clout has decreased significantly in the last two-three years.

 

Yeah, the right hates her viciously, as does the far left and the moderate left to a smaller extent. The only people that like her is the small sliver of dip shits who think they're super socially progressive and an advocate of minority lifestyles while still fervently supporting Hillary Clinton.

I hope not. She's certainly more talented than she is politically tolerable, but still.

 

A/B testing headlines?

 

Not sure about the headlines, I'm more concerned why they had to change the loafer ad.

 

i like the green loafer ad more cause the color choice is more welcoming, the font size is bigger and easier to read. and it's pretty more blunt about what it's advertising.

lol

 

One's the early edition. Was written before his speech after the Mexico trip in order to meet deadline.

 

Ahhh, did you see the changed NYT article? That was pretty brutal.

 

Lena Dunham annoys me because of what she represents: a young liberal culture that sees fit to appropriate social justice language, while actively harming marginalized communities.

 

Hope nothing is going on in the world/country on Day 2 while we're "waiting to see" after somehow booting people out on Day 1. This imbecile has no fucking clue what he would do if he actually won this election.

 

said it better than i could

 

Pretty sure I've heard that Amy more or less raped a dude in college, so.

 

I don't know why I swiped over to see the responses.

 

sorry which app is this? looks really good.

 

It's Tweetbot. Great app. I use it lotttttts. Haha.

 

Yeah. I get it. This happens with deadlines, but how many false pivots before everyone's learned their lesson?

 

...

 

I thought that was bullshit that MRAs ran with?

Wait A Second, Did Amy Schumer Rape a Guy?
Read Amy Schumer’s Powerful Speech About Confidence (awkward title)

"Hey!" he yells, too loud, and gives me a hug, too hard. He's fucking wasted.

Is it still considered getting head if the guy falls asleep every three seconds

 

Ohh. Oh boy.

 

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together....

 

Are these even humans?

 

Labor Must Take on Capital | Jacobin

The numbers have grown familiar, though no less stark. When the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) merged in 1955, one in three private-sector workers were in unions. Union density in the private sector has declined with increasing speed almost every year since then, and less than 7 percent of private-sector workers belong to unions today.

Having already crippled private-sector unions, corporations, the superrich, and the Right have now set their sights on the public sector. The Supreme Court dealt public-sector unions a devastating blow with its Harris v. Quinn decision in 2014 and would have landed a knockout punch to public-sector unions with Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association if Justice Antonin Scalia had not died unexpectedly.

But these decisions are merely symptoms of labor’s decline, not its cause. The challenge before the labor movement today is to figure out how to reverse course now, when it is smaller and weaker than it has been in nearly a century.
