Defending the Clintons for what?

Expand full comment

I HAVE HAD A REVELATION, YA'LL! I'VE BEEN TO THE MOUNTAINTOP! I saw a light and through that light a man, clad all in white- including the whitest skin this side of Ireland, blonde hair and blue eyes and he told me, "you are all wrong". So I listened! Apparently, my entire belief system is a lie and I must repent! I asked, "what repentance must I make oh Aryan Jesus?" and the Jesus said, "You must support Trump", and I said, "is that what god requires?" and Aryan Jesus said, "yes". So I am now a Trump supporter because I am tired of neoliberals and the status quo therefore I am voting for an old money billionaire who engages in international commerce!

Not because he is racist and I am racist, oh no! Because he's different! He doesn't believe in taxing the most vulnerable and he wants to give everyone healthcare and he will end the war in Iraq because it was terrible! Yes, even Aryan Jesus admitted he plays a bit close to Mein Kampf in most ways but who cares, he is not Hillary! I come to all of you who felt the Bern, please join with me in supporting a man who soft peddles national socialist theories....you were socialists, just add some racism and do the opposite of socialism!

several buckets of cold water should be thrown on Mr. Shouty daily, if not hourly. he has had occasional moments of clarity, but those were probably preceded by a good cold drench

I don't particularly care about this and don't give a fuck about Hillary's email servers but don't y'all ever get tired of defending the Clintons?

"Just saying, don't be too surprised when Trump wins in a landslide."

To win the presidency, Trump would have to flip the following states that went for Obama in 2012: Colorado, Ohio, Nevada, Iowa, New Mexico, Minnesota, Virginia, and Florida. Think he can do that when it appears that Georgia, Utah and Arizona are becoming battleground states?

Tinder. Swipe right for "conspiracy".

I'm tired of how one guy lied and cheated people and bragged about being able to shoot people on the street and not lose support, and Republicans made him their nominee and somehow that's acceptable, but Bill Clinton corners an acquaintance to blab about his grandkids, and suddenly Democrats are wringing their hands over the horror of it all and the media spends all day predicting THE DOOM OF THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN. Wtf? This is ridiculous. It doesn't even need defending. It needs ignoring, because it's stupid. But gawd forbid we ignore anything a Clinton does when there's a possibility of manufacturing a scandal out of it. Clinton rules, you know.

"Of course, General Hindenburg! That's brilliant!"

All based on which candidate could have sold them a shitty three wheeled car.

That was the dividing line for me, between the people who will never be fascists, and the people who think it's only an exotic plaything, like a tattoo. Your CNN and NPR crowd are always Venn diagrammed toward the latter.

"Neoliberalism" is the dominant modern articulation of capitalism, based on the three pillars of globalisation, privatisation and financialisation.

(I don't know what deleted-commentator was saying, but just making it clear that that IS a real word.)

I am a commie and I hate neoliberalism. But some things are WORSE, much worse, especially for us queers. Fascism, for one. So Hillz over Trump.

This is EXACTLY what the German Communists were saying in 1933. "After Hitler, us!" And of course they were first in the camps.

Phoenix is disturbingly close to Tempe, AZ, which is reason enough to get the hell out of there.
