I don't mind listening. I don't like being attacked for something I didn't even do. But alas, if you all feel that screaming about the rich at everything and everyone is gonna yield you results then fine.
Second time you've brought this up, if you don't want us in here then at least have the courage to explain why and ask us to leave. But as far as I can see, this is a thread for discussing US politics and that covers Biden
The poliera thread feels like shoving my head in a stapler. My god.
I'm kind of glad the women's division isn't prominently featured. It leaves more time for the better wrestlers, some of whom barely get time as it is.
It reminds me of the old fascist State Police in my country. People and opinions just *poof* disappeared.
I think Rachel Dolezal is the perfect VP pick for Warren tbh, they share a lot of values.
Just found these online, but not in my size. Reeee! Also looks like we’re getting 3 dope Low Dunks colorways in the summer. Gonna see if I can cop any of them.
This is EXACTLY why those of us with cooler heads insisted "Believe Women" means "treat the allegations seriously and investigate appropriately." If the details of the Salon article are anywhere close to accurate there is a lot of behavior by both posters and mods in the original thread that's going to age REALLY badly once a more thorough look at Reade is completed.
“Bernie bro”, “rose twitter”, “leftist”, “liberal”, “neolib shill”. EVERY FUCKING DAY. This community is rotted.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Isn't there an official thread for this Biden bedwetting stuff? Again, we're in a pandemic claiming 99% of the news cycle. I'm not saying this news isn't important, but on the totem pole of important or interesting things we should be talking about here, this Biden stuff should be somewhere at the bottom.
The man who's network is half women? The man who literally handed the reigns of TYT to a woman? Sure, he did some dumb shit as a younger dude. Many of us have. I mean, Joy Ann Reid posted hateful shit on her own blog and lied her ass off about it. How many of you still watch her? And no doubt, hes gonna have to answer for those things in debates. But personally, I have no reservations about his policies.
Yeah, this Biden story so far seems to be living exclusively in low rent conservative media, not even Fox or OANN have run with it yet. Makes me think it's already been investigated and no corroborating evidence could be found. If Biden did this, used his aides to create a situation where he would be alone with this woman to assault her, it wasn't the first or last time. That's not some rookie move, it's something you've done before and know you could get away with, and there would be other accusers.
Probably help if we just waited and let this play out however it does. It seriously seems like a ton of people have made their minds up already and I can’t help but think a ton of it relates to people hating Joe Biden’s guts vs supporting a rape victim. Shows even more when people say they’re abandoning the Democratic Party or not voting if these allegations go nowhere or they don’t get the result they’re looking towards. Heaven forbid we wait until mainstream journalists do their sourcing and see what they found.
To be fair, all he got called was a TERF, not a TERF. Seems fair to me.
Could also have gone with slaveowner lover. That would have been fair as well.
I’m holding back until more information comes available, but at this point I believe it to an extent, although I’m also skeptical given her history.
Some of these responses... Just wow. If these accusations were directed towards Sanders, then there would be no "let's wait for an investigation".
If you were serious about any of this you wouldn't have a Hilary avatar. She has a history of silencing victims of assault and supporting her rapist husband. You're literally downplaying/denying her history whilst clearly bullshitting about how you think all women should be believed because looking like you have morals is more important than having morals. I'm in no way downplaying the trauma you went through but you don't care about other victims. You're parading around an avatar celebrating a slave using terf to own Bernie bros. That's what you actually care about.No it's not. Nobody would have argued this with Christine Blasey Ford and nobody thinks Kavanagh was innocent after the hearing/investigation. Everybody here understands how difficulty allegations of sexual assault are to prove and what what "believe all women" means. It was already concerning enough that people who support Joe already like to pretend Anita Hill doesn't exist but this is on another level. He has a history of defending sexual predators and inappropriately touching women/children; it's not as this is some shocking revelation that came out of nowhere. Stop politicising how you perceive sexual assault based on your party.
People using this story as an attempt to validate the thing they weren't already going to do is kinda gross.
Using the hashtag #BernieisourFDR at this point takes away almost all credibility.
Echoes of Susan Collins saying she's "deeply concerned" but doing nothing.
this clown having a major White House role. It'd be like Trump hiring fucking Milo.
That was actually a good speech by President Trump. Peace folks, peace. No twitter for a couple of days also, Donald.
Just a probalistic example off the top of my head tbh? I removed it because it was needlessly and overly specific without any justification. Worst case it actually applies to someone here and they think I was talking about them.
The threads in the OT about One piece are absolute trash. Who is that fellow
I do think many of you including myself are living in a bubble re warren. I am getting surrounded by Hillary 2.0 vibes here in MN. My wife says she doesn’t like warren. My coworker best bud says warren is a gun to the head candidate. My mom my dad don’t like warren. These are all lifelong dems and they all don’t like warren. I love her and donate to her and I hope she wins the whole thing. But honestly just the vibe to me is that she’s fucking worse than Hillary at this point in terms of talking about her from people I know. And honestly I will say she looks like a crazy pissed off bird woman in all all these debates. Everyone i watch these debates with says with no prompting damn she looks fucking crazy. Her fucking eyebrows don’t move (and that’s true). Just saying anecdotally I get Hillary vibes and it ain’t good.
Well has definitely dialed back the daily Bernie-shilling so maybe that's why the neo-liberals seem unleashed now.
It's 2020! Time for a black woman to be president #ItsHerTime #ShesGotAPhDSoShesQualified #ListenToBlackWomen AIPAC stands for "merican and sraeli neumonia, cquired from hinese DNA"
I am actually extremely excited because based on all the indisputable proof against trump, his conduct and abuse of power, his history of sexual harassment, etc. We have all this proof and thats great because it beans one of two things: 1. If the senate trial occurs before the 2020 election thanks to all the facts 100 perent of all senators will vote to remove him or 2. whatever democrat runs against trump in 2020 will obtain all 538 electoral votes. What a great time to be alive
Warren's campaign was all about Democratic unity and letting bygones be bygones. Some of these shady hos couldn't wait to pop their britches.
I mean the regular members of the thread you post in have among other things: -defended american war crimes in the korean war -insisted arabian ppl have no culture -displayed racism in china threads -had a member get a 1 month ban for racism then rescind it to 1 week on the same day another member was also banned for 1 month DURING the staff meeting with the BCT and Black history month -unpermed a user who used nazi conspiracy rhetoric to describe sanders and his supporters. twice. and was called out by no one besides sphagnum. -set up a fake discord to troll a user after harassing them for a month through PMs. -called regular poster invaders for speaking their minds -chased a queer, black man off the site and publicly gloated about it But yeah I guess we were kind of mean so that totally evens it all out. A little venting/sarcasm is def the same as some vile ass shit. OT: Great post sphagnum. Def feeling a bit deflated but not gonna let it get me down. We've made significant progress we just need to see things through and keep building the movement. keep ppl engaged and motivated.
Yeah, it's only gotten worse over the past couple days now that Bernie's candidacy is in jeopardy. The basic libs, who are just interested in gotchas and telling you why change can't happen, are coming out of the woodwork. And I'm just talking about the Primary thread here. I hear PoliERA is an absolute cesspool, but I never go there for my own mental sake. We were just talking about this over on FranceERA, but it's shocking how many US citizens on ERA aren't willing to even engage in legitimate discussions about how broken and undemocratic their electoral system is. They can't even address the concept of the Democratic party trying to artificially manufacturing consent around a candidate and against another without framing it as "Bernie Bros being sore losers who hate democracy". They're brainwashed children who don't want to think about the broader picture OR the actual specific, dramatic issues their fellow citizens (and immigrant people) are confronted with on a daily basis. Expect things to become worse as/if Bernie loses more in the coming weeks. They'll just go "lol so much for the progressive coalition ! What a crazy old loser" when they should be sad and angry about it. But hey, as long as they're not part of the dirty poors who'll actually die from lack of healthcare, it's all fair game, right ? We're a friendly bunch though <3
Or that southern primaries should only count for half a delegate (this a joke, if not clear)
Hey, sorry for implying that. I was being extra since rilakuma is a dick. I hope that when Vector Prime comes back you all shun him for his nazi shit though. That shit was fucked up.
This is such a dangerous and disingenuous post. This thing has the ability to fry logic boards and you have the nerve to recommend that with a straight face?
After they do that story they should also have to explain the Corn Pop nonsense also. It's his constant lies to try and appeal to the black voter that really amazes me that they showed up for him. Then again they are old and out of touch and may not have even heard either story.
Older black voters basically are the Democratic Party. And they don't use the Internet. As far as the GE, if Biden reassembles the 2018 coalition he has a good shot.
