Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

[Alabama_Indy10]

Rick Scott has a 0% chance of winning in the general, and will almost certainly lose by double digits too.

That’s just a stupid take.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Civil discourse and looking/appearing professional are tools of the oppressor class to delegitimize and dismiss the righteous anger and pain the oppressed feel.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Andrew Gillum will win.

Rick Scott has a 0% chance of winning in the general, and will almost certainly lose by double digits too.

Not really what this thread was meant for.

Getting elected on a racist platform and exploiting racists for votes does not necessarily mean you are a racist. (This is probably why Solid stupidly and wrongly believes that Ike was the most recent non-racist Republican president.)

It doesn't make the slightest difference if one acts out of genuine racist beliefs or just adopts them for political convenience.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

Any reasonable justice system would charge sessions and many immigration judges with first degree murder (or at least manslaughter) for their disgusting treatment of asylum seekers, and additionally sessions would get mass child abuse and manslaughter for his children in cages s##t.

The term "gaslighting" when used in the context of online debating is insulting to those who have actually been gaslit in an intimate relationship, and is 99% of the time a deflection from the actual argument.

Isn’t it used simply to refer (online) incidents where an opponent takes a position contrary to their own viewpoint for the sake of humor or confusing the “victim”? Seems no more heinous than Internet activity in general.

Solid has some dumb theory that the PA-18 results will apply to every single election in the future. So Florida has to vote Democratic by double digits because it's so much less Republican in PA-18. Apparently he still believes this even though the theory was dead wrong about OH-12.

Charlie Baker is an overrated governor who has done barely anything during his first term.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

In terms of his actual political accomplishments as Senator, John McCain was nowhere near his two direct Senate predecessors, Barry Goldwater and Carl Hayden, who were real Senate giants.

Really, New England has this fetish for electing "moderate" Republican Governors who barely does anything noteworthy.

This is the definition of Good Government.

Seriously.  You can't talk about how MA is a praise-worthy state as a liberal and then rag on your Republican governor for not shaking things up...?

Quite a few of these are true.

Which ones

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

The prosecution of Bob Menendez was entirely motivated by politics.

[Alabama_Indy10]

The prosecution of Bob Menendez was entirely motivated by politics.

And his taking of bribes?

[Virginiá]

Technically, the decision to investigate + prosecute could be political in nature even if the actual crimes are, well, crimes. Kind of like how some see the prosecution of Manafort - yea, he's corrupt as sin, but probably would have never been investigated if it weren't for the RIGGED WITCH HUNT™

That being said, I think Solid is just being Solid here. A true partisan!

The PC Left focuses their cultural representation activism on opposing the most innocuous, harmless stereotypes and appropriations because they enjoy the idea of the bourgeoisie and lumpenproletariat feeling threatened by minorities.

People who use the term bourgeoise as an insult or however the  you spell it are probably pampered brats themselves

Wrong place. This isn't the simple truths thread

I like using "bourgeois", the adjective, to describe most things I don't like undertaken by people of comparable or superior means when compared to myself. "White" is a similar term, though I can apply it to all classes. For instance, a bunch of bourgeois whites are ruining Ferndale by bringing in a high-rise apartment building and pricing out the game and comic shops. Nevermind that the previous occupants of the town were both bourgeois and white, and that I am one and aspire to be the other.

Opposing abortion does not make a person 'pro life.'

This and Supporting abortion does not necessarily make a person pro choice.

I'm really not sure how that second line follows.

Solid is explicitly pro-abortion. Something about deadbeat dads.

All country music recorded after 1990 is crap.

Off the top of my head, would you disagree that Dwight Yoakam had a number of great songs throughout the 90s?
