I guess we're forgetting when she took over HRC's twitter during the campaign as a really pathetic way of trying to appeal to millennials? Milo is a slimeball, but he's right about that One Thing. Edit: "Party of Lena Dunham" is actually pretty apt for the neo-liberal centrist Democrats. Out of touch, and in power due to nepotism.

Bass Bottles posted:Pence is still better than Trump/Bannon. He's evil but at least he is a competent adult. Trump is literally an existential threat, due to his utter lack of ability, judgement, or concern. He is a future extinction event. Pence is just a very very hateful republican. Pence/Ryan is as bad as Trump/Bannon. Possibly worse because they understand how the govt works.

Bass Bottles posted:Bannon is also a competent adult and he knows how to take advantage of Trump's stupidity and invincibility. He's worse than Pence. 1. Bannon is an evil slime ball but he wants to dismantle the machine of which Pence comes from. 2. Trump got about as many votes as Mitt Romney. He didn't add anything to the process. His campaign just won electoral votes where Hillarys campaign stupidly ignored. Republicans would be Just Fine without MAGA support because they've built their party from the local level up. 3. I have serious doubts a potential WW3 breaking out will be Trumps doing. The way trade and economies work nowadays, a global war would not go well. My main worry is Syria, which who the duck knows what's going to happen there. So maybe stop with the histrionics there.

Adam Curtis did a pretty good documentary recently called Hypernormalisation. It's kind of sprawling and kind of loses focus on parts but the part on Putin and Syria and the guy who helps Putin orchestrate things (I forgot his name) was fascinating. Putin doesn't really scare me (he makes me scared for his political opponents and the people inside of Russia) but some of the people around him are some scary motherfuckers. Much like Trump. The Adam Curtis interview on Chapo Trap House put the documentary in focus a bit. I also loved the doc he did in 00s about the rise of radical Islam and the neoconservatives in America. I think it was called The Power of Nightmares. He's good.

Luckily Hillary and Schumer got my vote under the Working Families ticket here so they can get more funding since they're cool and good.

Propaganda Machine posted:Or even just field a viable candidate. I don't actually think Stein would have been worse than Trump, but it's a valid debate. I'm inclined to agree. She didn't stand for anything. She just pandered to whoever asked her a question. And her vaccine stance is heinous to me doubly so since she's apparently a doctor.

Not to mention the damage Bill did to black communities with his welfare and criminal justice reform bills. Democrats are loving garbage and he worst part about all of this is Trump and the Freedom Cacus are so bad they think they don't have to look inward and realize being the party of Wall St that plays lip service to minorities and gay people is going to loving cut it anymore.
