How are u posted:Sure. I was in Bolivia in 2016 doing aid work while Evo was trying to get his constituional amendment passed to let him do the extra term. Bolivians were talking about it constantly, and there were very mixed feelings. Undoubtedly the guy has done immense good for Bolivia, but people were really wary about his growing authoritarian tendency. You voted for a genocidal rapist, you loving turd

uber_stoat posted:"barreling toward the nomination" same planet, different universe quote:But despite his affinity for the South Bend mayor, he rattled off a list of reasons why Buttigieg couldn’t win. “He’s thirty- eight,” Obama said, pausing for dramatic effect, “but he looks thirty.” The audience laughed. Obama was on a roll, using the tone of light ridicule he some-times pointed at himself— “ big ears” and “a funny name,” he’d said so many times before. Now, it was directed at Buttigieg. “He’s the mayor of a small town,” the former president continued. “He’s gay,” Obama said, “and he’s short.” More laughter.

Man, I don't really know who you are or why people make the sign of the cross and hiss when you come near, but I feel like a more specific answer than "Alas, but man is mortal" to the question of just what was bad about Morales was expected.

Dixon Chisholm posted:I remember you posting once about how you were incredibly depressed, maybe even suicidal, because you had so little hope for the future. If that's the case, you should probably stop coming into cspam to start poo poo. I've seen you pinch off stinkers in about 4 threads now. That kind of antagonism can't be good for your mental health Some people weirdly double-down on support of institutions in response to feelings of helplessness. I think it largely comes down to an emotional need to feel like you can rely on people/institutions with power. So with regard to something like US talking points about Evo Morales, How Are U needs to think there's some validity to them, because the alternative (that it was always done with ill-intent) is unacceptable. Even if you disagree with what US government/media say, there must be something worthwhile and substantive to it, because the alternative is understanding that you have no friends in places of power. docbeard posted:Man, I don't really know who you are or why people make the sign of the cross and hiss when you come near, but I feel like a more specific answer than "Alas, but man is mortal" to the question of just what was bad about Morales was expected. A while back he posted a screenshot in some Discord bragging about having almost everyone in the General Election thread on ignore (which is about the most direct evidence of bad faith possible). In said thread he would mostly just post things like "I'm looking forward to accomplishing progressive goals under Biden  " and said screenshot was essentially just confirming that he was obviously trying to rile people up.
