Narciss posted:Hillary Clinton is under federal investigation by the FBI. It's also really suspicious that afterwards she said she'd follow the recommendations of the FBI, which is out of her hands. This is definitely a huge conspiracy.

Talmonis posted:The optics are horrid. This is a prime example of the Democratic tendency to do everything in their power to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. "Optics are horrid"...? For who? Who could possibly care about this? They could be talking on the phone for two hours every day and nobody would know. They talk for thirty minutes in person, and it's a big deal?

BetterToRuleInHell posted:It's a objective fact that the optics are terrible. Why is it so hard to admit that? The optics are bad. Sure. Horrible optics is something like Trump saying all Mexicans are rapists broadcast on TV where people are going to talk about it for years. This is something people are going to whine about for about thirty more minutes and then nobody will know it ever happened, except for a few screeds on news article comments. It's bad but it just don't matter and nobody will know or care a week from now. It's just not a big deal.

Jarmak posted:The optics aren't bad, people are loving retarded. Optics don't have anything to do with reality, it's just about what an uninformed idiot thinks about a situation given a one sentence summary. Given that, it looks bad. It doesn't look horrible because they also won't give a poo poo five seconds later.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:Apparently we have -- USPol as it turns out isn't any better than YCS, and no matter what, any Clinton-related news can't possibly be conceived as negative. My post was trying to point out the nuance between "bad" and "horrible" not to claim it wasn't negative.

SedanChair posted:Wow he just put his knee on his chest, pulled out his pistol and domed him. I'll be interested to hear what the department says. "I thought it was a taser" worked pretty well last time. Maybe he'll change it up and say he thought it was a squirt gun. Edit: nevermind, that guy spent a whole year in prison, which is unacceptable these days. I'm sure they'll think of something! Lemming fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Jul 6, 2016 |

Dead Reckoning posted:I'm not arguing for or against punishment in any specific set of circumstances, I'm arguing against the idiotic notion put forward by vorebane that, because bad thing X happened, someone must be punished. I'm also not clear on which "these instances" you're referring to. Yes, we already know you don't care about the lives of black people, you've made that abundantly clear. A cop kills a black man, and you're on the scene to make sure that the important thing is done: telling people who're upset that a black person was extrajudicially killed that they're the truly dangerous ones

Dead Reckoning posted:Not agreeing with bad ideas put forward by people who feel a strong emotional reaction to a news story isn't racism, and it's a little hosed up that you're trying to conflate the two. The vast majority of the time that you slither out of your hole is when a cop does something bad and you feel the need to step in and declare that actually, it's fine and anybody who's upset about it is just being an idiot and has stupid ideas. You don't make any effort to offer constructive ideas about what you think could be done or how things could be changed (and you obviously could, since you clearly do have a good understanding of how things work), you just get some sort of perverse glee out of telling people who are upset that black people keep getting killed by cops that they're stupid and cops are actually great.

greatn posted:I don't think "opposite guy is bad" is ever a more compelling argument than "this person is pretty good" The reality is that the potential upside of Hillary Clinton is way more modest than the potential downside of Donald Trump, due to Congress and Senate likely remaining GOP controlled, so in this case it's hard to argue concrete things that will be better with Clinton vs concrete things that will be worse with Trump.

After exhaustive research and an objective, dispassionate view of the facts, I've concluded that the orange baby who wants to jail dissidents and institute a squad of blackshirts to crack down on minorities just has the better policy positions.
