Stein joins #HillaryForPrison

[IceSpear]

She's a member of the 54% of Americans who say that Hillary should have been indicted.

Stay strong through the ridicule, Jfern. You and I both know that the 54% number was affirmed by the ABC/Washington Post poll that had it at 56%. Apparently, America thinks that lying crooked Hillary! deserved to be indicted.

It's touching seeing RWNJs and leftie kooks sharing in their Hillary derangement syndrome. 

Doesn't it just bring a tear to your eye?

Say what you want about Hillary derangement syndrome, but the fact is that a majority of americans would have indicted Hillary Clinton.

A majority of Americans are also skeptical of evolution. Who cares?

Complete and total strawman

Well, fortunately in our country, public opinion does not equal an indictment.

How so?

There are very few things that Atlas reaches a broad consensus on. Political Compass's worthlessness as a source of analysis is one of them. They have done a good dozen or so elections across the globe, none of them remotely even resembling reality.

They had the SDLP pegged way to the left of Labour. That should tell you everything.

Hey guys these are official looking charts posted on the Internet and therefore they must be accurate.

The Labour movement from 1972 to 1982 is basically one of the strangest things ever published about politics anywhere.

(But yes Schoolteachers, Doctors and Lawyers' positioning is close!)

[Seriously?]

It's touching that the Hillarybots! would probably allow her to rob a bank and still disparage the "Right Wing Nut Jobs" and "leftie kooks" for demanding that the rule of law be followed.

It's not "Hillary! derangement syndrome." The woman is a sociopath.

The fact that some put so much faith in the Political Compass charts is downright perplexing.

It's literally one of the most poorly cited sites on the Internet. There's no indication whatsoever who runs it or makes these charts, even that they're Brits is only implied. And they even admit where they place the politicians and parties on the charts is just their guess because they didn't take the test. But at least half the questions on the test aren't even related to policies, just general attitudes that there's no way to discern. And they don't reveal their methodology at all. I'd say the burden of proof you're not just pulling numbers out of your ass is on the one making the claims, even if they're making nice looking charts with said numbers.

(BTW I just noticed that the SDLP are actually slightly to the left economically of Sinn Fein. There's another "LOL")

That, I can believe.

That position for the SNP might be vaguely accurate... if they actually put all of the other parties in the correct places.  Although I'd move them down slightly, but not significantly...

But yeah, the way that they seem to think that Labour moved to the right between 1972 and 1982 says all you need to know about the political compass and the odd way that they seem to define politics.  I don't think that there's any at all sensible way to justify that one...  It does make me wonder where they'd put a Corbyn Labour party; I'm still pretty sure that they'd still keep them in the top right corner for odd reasons...

Sin Fein are very economically right-wing. They are in the pocket of monied kneecap reconstruction surgeons.

Why do we care about Jill Stein again?

Should the lefties on the board make mocking threads about DWS and Lindsey Graham (IMHO the most laughably incorrect centrists) all the time?

We need to mock them a lot more.

Had Bernie joined the #HillaryForPrison bandwagon, he might have won the nomination.  It was his only chance.  Letting her off easy was his big mistake.

This forum is hilariously delusional sometimes. No, Bernie using Republican talking points would not have helped him in a Democratic primary.

It's a sad day when DWS and Lindsey Graham are considered "centrists."

I loathe the Political Compass with an ever burning animus.
