Crunch Buttsteak posted:I've tempered my expectations about this election since I got incredibly blindsided by the 2016 election. I don't want to go through the psychic damage of being cocky about an assured victory, only for the worst case scenario to happen. It's important to keep grounded and realistic. His campaign was already in trouble, he essentially needed something to shake up the race. I couldn't tell you if thisll be good or bad for Trump, but it's a big event so I kind of feel like on the whole it's better for him that he's got a chance of something huge happening

Millenials and Gen Z, once we hold the levers of power, are simply not going to lay down in the street to die merely because some group of fuckers in robes says it's not allowed. I'm not too worried about that either but it's because by then it'll be way, way, way too late

Xombie posted:That wasn't a question I was asked, though? I never disagreed that the primary order can be switched. The goalposts I am kicking through here are that the southern states should have less (or no) say in the democratic primary. Claiming that southern dems have too much power is literally stating that black democrats have too much power. There is no other way to spin it. That's who is voting in the southern dem primaries. Biden didn't win Iowa or New Hampshire. The problem is some people having more power than others, everyone should have the same amount of power, this is literally the same problem with the general election, it's not somehow good just because it's in a primary

Xombie posted:There's no way to reform this schedule in a way that's beneficial for outsider candidates, though. This is a problem that, at its source, is because the primaries are staggered. The primaries are staggered so that the candidates can campaign. If you have all the primaries at once, the winner would just be, 100% of the time, the candidate that has the money to campaign in the most states at once. It would make it even less competitive. No, the primaries are staggered as an anachronistic quirk of the history of the parties. That's one potential benefit, but at the end of the day it's obviously a deeply undemocratic process and making it more democratic would be overall good. This cycle also made it clear that grassroots donations were a far more effective funding mechanism for the primary, and Bernie raised the most money through the least corrupt methods, so I fail to see how the funding argument isn't another point in the favor of reform that would make the system more democratic

sexpig by night posted:Like, I'm not here to pretend Blitzer is a journalist worthy of any kind of respect but yea pretending him going 'right but why not just pass a clean check bill like Trump keeps shouting about, since people do need money now' is some kind of harassment is absolute insanity. To be fair to the Democrats this would absolutely be a pre-compromise that I think is generally bad for them to do. If Republicans are serious about it they could put forward that bill and I'd criticize the Democrats for not agreeing to it, but it's pretty clear they aren't so I don't see what this would accomplish

But there's literally no way the Republicans have any interest in actually doing that? I agree that her messaging is dogshit because she's not making it clear what's actually going on, but the Republicans have never and will never agree to that so it's kind of false framing to suggest that this is just Democratic intransigence

Unless I've missed something huge, there is no clean stimulus check bill on the table, it's just one of Trump's random flails that he got spooked into making after he announced there would be no deal at all randomly on twitter. It's not like Democrats are refusing to do something, Pelosi just flubbed a really easy question about something that the Republicans would already never agree to in the first place

Unironically the Republican strategy if Biden wins is to make sure no additional aid at all happens under any circumstances and pin the economic pain on the Democrats, and it's not clear to me if it's more likely the Democrats would be able to overcome their bullshit if new checks go out or not. I'd be willing to believe that the Republicans would be canny enough to cynically let the minimum amount of aid go out, but it would need to be hitting people's bank accounts like... already, if they were smart enough to do that, so I don't think they'd agree to one at this point. Lie about it maybe.

Aineris posted:Yep. They choose not to be counted, when they are easily countable, because they do not give a poo poo. The kind of people that are turned away from homeless shelters are those that can't do the minimum amount of work to participate in society, and so they don't deserve to be represented. Remember, these people aren't participating in society in any capacity. They're not employed, they're not paying taxes, they're not voting, they're not doing anything productive with their lives whatsoever. They can do better, but they choose not to. This is the guy who all the Republicans are appealing to by being as cruel as possible BTW

fool of sound posted:Hey when people make lovely posts, and you don't want to bother with trying to engage with them, report them. The last thing any thread needs is a page of people telling someone "gently caress off" even when their posts are awful, especially hours after the fact. Why report them when a mod is replying to them and very obviously not taking any action Edit: vvvvvvvv ok but again what was reporting supposed to be doing, considering that it would have resulted in no mod action being taken, as evidenced by your being aware of the posts and taking no mod actions Lemming fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Oct 14, 2020 |

fool of sound posted:Bad faith is discerned by engaging. You can't just divine it based on how vehemently you disagree with the idea. And pretending that "the homeless are just lazy" is a fascist idea is nonsense. It's a straightforward and lovely justification for gently caress-you-got-mine, and its something a whole lot of people who grew up middle class believe and have to be taught otherwise. People aren't born with good politics. How many people were high school or college libertarians? Unethical opinions are frequently just unexamined; held because of ignorance, not malice. That's why I gave him a chance to walk it back and learn otherwise. He didn't take it. There's a button where you can see what people have been probated for and he was previously probated for saying that people with substance abuse issues should kill themselves, that the US has no responsibility whatsoever towards non-citizens, and that minorities only die from covid more often because they protested being killed by the police How many chances are we talking about here

ILL Machina posted:As a follow-up, I'm just looking for more ways to frame the counterargument that homelessness is a necessary threat to encourage people to work for housing. I had a really disconcerting conversion with my dad about how housing should be considered a human right and he clapped bank with the "if people are given everything they need for a minimal subsistence, they won't feel the need to earn it or work for more." You can't make people give a poo poo about other people, but you could point out that it's cheaper to take care of them proactively than deal with them reactively; it's cheaper to house them, feed them, help them get jobs, etc, than it is to have cops harass them, put them in jail, have them show up in the emergency room, etc. https://www.vox.com/2014/5/30/5764096/homeless-shelter-housing-help-solutions
