The Seriously? Theatre of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts V

This thread needs a re-name now that people have forgotten/don't know Bobloblaw. It doesn't have to be  named after anyone.

The SteveMcQueen Theatre?

Sounds good to me.

Yes. Their ideologies are obviously completely different but both of their campaigns are fueled by white resentment. Sanders is winning over liberal whites who are resentful that Clinton is running a campaign appealing to America's ascendant nonwhite majority -- and by extension not appealing to them. Trump's appealing to conservative whites who are resentful at the very prospect of the Republican establishment maybe, possibly considering appealing to some portion of America's incoming nonwhite majority.

Of course, there are also other factors at play, like the stagnation and decline of factory jobs and small town midwest economies that were based around them, but lets be real here. That's been happening for decades, and Trump and Sanders didn't appear when it started or during the peak of when it was happening (not to mention the fact that whites are still in an extremely advantageous economic position compared to nonwhites, even in the heart of midwest industrial decline.) So I maintain that this does not explain, entirely or even mostly, the rise of Trump and Sanders. I genuinely think the main factor at play with their rise this year is the fact that Obama to some extent and Clinton to a much greater extent have refused to do the whole treat-whites-like-they're-special-snowflakes-and-put-their-issues-on-a-little-silver-pedestal-during-election-years thing and whites are having a little cry about it.

Not really. It's just that if you think the Sanders campaign is mainly driven by racism against Hillary Clinton, then you're dead wrong. For one thing, actual racists would tend to hate Sanders more than Clinton.

Well, it's been a good run. Time to rename the thread.

Don't know which thread it was in, but he also claimed Quayle would have won over Bentsen and Gore in '88 and '92, respectively.

We have a thread for this now, you know.

As much as he pandered to them, Sanders is not himself an SJW. I actually think Sanders was the last chance for the non-SJW left to take power. The left-wing Democrats of the future are going to be uniformly pro-open borders, pro-slavery reparations, anti-existence of Israel, anti-presumption of innocence in rape cases, and pro-racial quotas.

Not Warren who is Bernie Sanders. Kholbuchar or Gillibrand represent Clinton values. But Deval Patrick would be picked with Clinton before any of those.

It's gonna be Castro first Latino Veep nominee

I can't even tell whether OC thinks it'll be Patrick or Castro.

Does anyone else ever get onto this site just to see what kind of new awful posts have been posted here?

Sometimes. For the most part, I use the AAD thread to filter out the average awful posts and only see the truly awful.

Ah, yes. The classic "My views are centrist and sane" syndrome.

I mean, he's not wrong. School uniforms are ridiculous. But an executive order?

From AAD, but by God, this is bad enough to be crossposted.

Of the three of them, only Barack has had the experience of having a transgender spouse, so it makes sense that he'd be more sensitive to this issue. [/quote]

After Sanders gets his voters to vote Clinton and the election is over he should be stripped of seniority and put on all the crap committees that nobody cares about. He needs to be punished.

Speaking of Cory, the fact that this r/atheism-esque comment got crossposted to the Simple Truths mine is incredibly worrying:

Whatever it takes for you to go to sleep thinking that the good people get ice cream and soda and the bad guys have to eat vegetables at the kids table, and the bad guys sill "lose", even if they actually win.

Some grade-A #analysis from AG. Because, as we all know, the party of Mitch McConnell will definitely let Bernie Sanders join them.

A lot depends on what happens between now and November. If he does not edorse Clinton and the Senate majority does not depend on it, I could easily see Dems asking him to leave the caucus. I mean, if Republicans want, they could give him a committee assignment and speaking time out of their share.

Read Game Change, it's not like she didn't do anything to deserve it.

Having cancer doesn't suddenly make you a Saint, you know.

If she were to somehow win, she'd run again, if she were not to have gotten impeached, because masons.

That's a shame. Looks like almost every left-leaning person on this forum is going to jail. RIP.

Two quality posts in a row:

His people will support Gary Johnson.

Of course not. He's a raging misogynist. He'd much rather have Trump win than a woman like Clinton.

You say this like it's a joke, but it's probably true.

Turns out not all of TNV's bad posts are about New Hampshire.

Don't take this thread too seriously, Ljube. It's obvious that you would have a 75% FF/25% HP rating if you were supporting Hillary Clinton.

Maybe his username is Seriously? because that's how people react to his posts.

I think Crabcake needs to spend some time in a padded cell before he hurts himself in despair at this brutish world we live in.

I mean, in some ways, he is right about this forum being somewhat of an echo chamber.

I completely agree with Santander that that is a horrible post.

This might be the most euphoric post I've seen here in a while, especially combined with the GradeAUnderA signature.

I'm actually really scared about the idea of a race war right now.
