I don't think she blew the election at all.

 

I saw some rich white girl I know (who is a part time actress on a day time soap and comes from a rich north eastern family) and her family proudly displaying COASTAL ELITE t-shirts.

Some people just don't get where things went wrong.

why does the new Zelda look so washed out? 

[VomKriege]

Send a professionally worded email explaining your intentions and make it clear that you will respect her and act professionally with her regardless of her response. Then actually respect her and act professionally toward her if you have further interactions after she shoots you down. As long as it's HR appropriate and not worded creepily I think you'll be fine on the off chance HR finds out.

Because Republicans aren't good people

Like literally end of story.

It would be interesting to create a narrative that weaves a few different amoral R and R-leaning threads together:

Republicans don't care for women. That's women's health rights, but also matters of consent, equal pay, equal opportunities. See how many Senators pushed the Pussygate tape only in relation to women they are related to - they see women as subservient "things".

Republicans don't care about national security. See the number of GOP politicians who don't care about Russia's interference, but also the number who don't care about the Bush administration's email issues.

Republicans don't care about children's health.

Republicans don't care about corruption or conflicts of interest, unless it's the opposing party.

Republicans don't care about the climate.

Republicans don't care about jobs being lost to automation.

Republicans don't care about voting rights.

Republicans don't care about the truth.

Evangelical Christians don't care about their fellow man, in ways that would make Jesus blush if he were alive. The fact that so many Evangelical leaders came out against Trump, and still the Religious Right shrugged and went "Well, he may be against abortion, so fuck the rest of mankind".

Perhaps Palmer Luckey was on to something with his vested interest in r/TheDonald - that memes are actually the way forward. All of the above is abhorrent, so how do you get people to actually give a fuck, other than having pictures of Harambe exclaiming the opponent is the devil?

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart. We joked about them not being journalists, but it's probably the most effective way of ingraining into the larger populace how awful the Trump administration is.

It doesn't reach Trump voters? I don't think that matters right now. Colbert has been getting back into gear since the election and I think him being attacked by the alt-reich is a good indicator that he's effective.

Sure. But my overall point is that, contrary to what a lot of gaffers have expressed, comedy shows are a very minor actor in steering the political debate. The quote in benji's post was that Stewart and Colbert were the most effective way of ingraining the masses and that's ridiculous. A comedian can become a prominent political voice but they generally need to commit to participating in the process to do so, something Stewart or Colbert (and others) don't seem to have the pretense to, for the most part. As far as can be told, Colbert doesn't that large of a viewership that he would tilt America away from Trump either.

[studyguy]

You can't have conservatives comedy shows cause those dudes are always one or two jokes away from taking shit too serious before one of them goes off and rambos his way into a shooting at a local pizza restaurant during little Jimmy's 6th birthday party.

The best you can do is those redneck comedy guys and the gas ran out of that car ages ago.

[benjipwns]

No why would I ever think things are going to turn out ok? There is fuck all indicating that things are going to turn out ok.

Thinking things are going to be ok isn't rolling with the punches it's ignoring all of them hitting you right in the fucking face until you're unconscious or dead.

[benjipwns]

Jon Stewart would have been useless this cycle. Did you see his reaction to Clinton. He thinks she's an amoral politician who doesn't even know what her own beliefs are. He'd have been all over e-mail shit just as much as everyone else probably.

The left bought into the right wing smears at all levels.

Oliver and Bee were about the few "media" personalities with their heads on right, Colbert to I guess but Colbert never had the same power as Stewart.

And Bee is a fucking badass who actually... called out white people instead of literally everyone else.

Colbert didn't get his groove until the last few weeks of the election. He squandered months of material with simple pg-13 jokesies. He found it eventually but it was too late by then. It's tough to fill in Letterman's shoes though but Colbert gets A for effort.

Edit: Agreed. Bee is the star of 2016 late night.

The Greg Gutfeld show is Greg doing Tough Crowd tamed down a bit for the Fox News audience. Tough Crowd would probably rock right now, but without Patrice it's not the same. Gutfeld's show is still decent.

Stephen Crowder's stuff is very kid friendly PG-13, but he embraces the silliness and can be fun. Their Brexit vote/Farage roundup is funny.

Give Milo a show and it's be interesting. Call it THE TRIGGERING or something. Liberal comedy lately hasn't been that challenging or in tune. There's a lot to mock on the left if comedians are willing to go in on it. The tables have turned a bit with the left being a bit pompous and moralistic. Can't be funny or challenging from that spot. The first thing they have to ditch is the idea that comedy only punches up. Comedy punches everywhere and how people respond tells us what is up from down. If you go in thinking of only punching up then you've already bought the moral standard.

[Let's Cyber]

As soon as I saw the interview Stewart did with David Axelrod months ago where he called Hillary cold and calculating, I assumed OT would turn on him.

Stephen Crowder's stuff is very kid friendly PG-13, but he embraces the silliness and can be fun.

Crowder?  Really breh? I'll assume you're joking about giving Milo a show.   

[etiolate]

A Milo show would be entertaining. You know it would.

And what's your issue with my assessment of Crowder? He's silly stuff, but it works at times.

[benjipwns]

Well, we're not dead yet, are we? And worrying that we're going to drop dead next year is well..lets get to next year? Id love for some civil unrest but thats not going to happen, so why worry about who he picks for this or that if people are just going to sneer and get on with their day. So Trump picks some right wing nut for this, what are people doing about it except saying "well now its really over"?

Thats the part I dont care for. Trump picks Y, well we are fucked now lets bedwet for the next two days and then move on. So now what?

How about you stop trivializing what's happening.

I mean you're free to not care but how about not complaining about people who do.

Did anyone else listen to Evan McMullin on Keepin It 1600 the other day? I have to imagine I'd disagree with him on virtually every policy point, but I came away actually kind of liking him, personality-wise. He was good conversation.

That was my takeaway, too. If anything, he actually seems like someone who genuinely believes that someone like Donald Trump is why the federal gov should have less power (as opposed to just as a means of cutting taxes for the wealthy and slashing social programs for the poor).

Ah, the new model for Good Republican Who Actually Believes™ is unveiled. Throw your John Kasich in the pile with Lindsay Graham, George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman, Olympia Snowe and Johm McCain.

Steven Crowder is the less than human garbage.

I think it's half and half. I think it's important for the media and especially people who have an audience (a lot of the late shows audience is old people) why things Trump is doing is bad. At same time they shouldn't make it an echo chamber.

Oh I have no issues with comedians going after Trump, quite the contrary. It's just that you often read on GAF people overestimating their importance, both in influence and status (despite all those comedy anchors all saying out loud that they are not journalists).
