General Politics Discussion (VI) [ARCHIVED] • Page 371

Legitimizing a massive bigot’s platform under the bullshit of “dialog with the other side” is super gross. There is zero reason to lend credibility to bigots like Shapiro. Zero. Going on Spencer Nazi’s show is clearly a “no” but they pretend Shapiro is better because he doesn’t say it all out loud as much. He’s not. Legitimizing that asshole, giving your platform and voice and introducing your audience to that asshole is extremely bad judgement.

 

Joe Scarborough is talking about "duel loyalties" - that's a completely different thing.

 

I knew someone from Boston couldn't be good politically

 

Nice

 

The sign language interpreter is the best part

 

Obama: I worry progressives may undercut Democratic allies
And I'm worried my skin is gonna melt off my fucking face because you chicken shits couldn't stand up for what's right.

 

I see this is what Twitter is doing today huh

I don't 'hate' Booch going on with Shapiro just because i think he's smart enough that he could intellectually embarrass Shapiro on his own show. So it's not the worst thing in the world to me.

But unfortunately I think Shapiro probably realizes that and is instead not gonna do his usual bullshit schtick and is gonna be on his best behavior to interview a presidential candidate. And in that case, it'll just help legitimize him and a bunch of people might listen to the show and say "oh hey this guy is actually reasonable, ima download his next episode!" and shit. As others have said, too much bad faith there to want to risk it.

 

Hope and change guy: “actually change is bad”

 

i finally watched some mayor pete interviews. what do we think about him?

 

*makes fart sound with mouth*

 

Who are you guys supporting so far anyway? Bernie and Warren are definitely the closest to my politics so I'm leaning towards either of them. I'll vote for any Democrat over Trump though obviously.

 

Bernie or Warren are getting my primary vote, but I'm worried Warren might not make it. I also like Castro, but hard to see my vote going to him over Bernie/Warren right now. General election my vote doesn't mean much because my state will go blue but I'll prob vote for the Dem unless it's a Howard Schultz by some ridiculous turn of events.

 

I've said it before, I support Bernie or Warren policy wise, I'll vote for whoever gets the nom but never trust them to actually implement progressive policy.

 

Bernie, Warren.
