I make an idiot out of myself on a daily basis. And I sincerely apologize.

With that said, that's why The Bore's moderation works better than any other place. You're left in your own puke and shit after drinking too much for everyone to see and laugh at.

Article: Iran shows us that a country can backslide on LGBT rights, so we shouldn't be complacent and assume that it could never happen in our own country.

Fucking idiots: HAW HAW THEY THINK IRAN CAN TEACH US ABOUT RESPECTING GAY PEOPLE

A perfect example of someone reading a clickbaity headline and rushing to give his hot take on it without actually reading the article.

WaPo Positions Support for Torturer as Vote for Feminism


https://twitter.com/WellsDunbar/status/973543534711238658

Not that you have allowed reason or reality to get in your way before, but it should be noted that the Washington Post, outside of their core reporting, is basically a grab bag of beltway opinions.

If one were so inclined you could read John Cornyn’s take on how Haspel’s hearing was a clear win, or Karen DeLacy authoring an out of touch and cringe inducing call for feminists to support her nomination, or you could read/watch the editorial board take her to the woodshed over that same senate testimony. Concluding she spectacularly failed a necessary moral test and should be denied confirmation. Or you could read the embattled plea by an Obama convicted whistleblower that moonlights on Sputnik Radio to not support or confirm this “war criminal.”

[Nintex]

I think Dick Cheney giving an interview on Fox News to discuss why torture is good should be enough reason to reconsider but with all the cartoon villains coming back, why not him as well.
After all there's going to be a movie released about him soon.

Yes, that clip is unfortunate, but he at least criticizes Republicans once in a while (or at all, really).

It seems that you people will never get it. I don't care about republicans

I....I know. That was kind of the point.

No it wasn't, you claimed that I don't criticize republicans. The criticism against them is by default, I know they suck and I know they're not gonna change that's why I don't give a shit about them as far as the party is concerned.

   1) Again, you're not contradicting my previous point and 2) What an utter horseshit defense. This is EXACTLY the rationale someone like Sargon of Akkad uses. For years he's claimed that, just like you, he never criticizes the Right because he "doesn't care about them", and that they're "irrelevant". This would have a modicum of reason if it wasn't for the fact that he invites right-wing shitheads like Ben Shapiro and Milo on his show to attack the Left. Surprising absolutely no one, he finally came out and admitted recently that he  *gasp* supported Trump.

Similar to Sargon, the fact that you never criticize the Right, share many of their beliefs, are buddies with (or at minimum, have the respect of) etilioate, Assimilate, and Daemon, while also being hated by everyone here on the Left or center-Left, makes it really hard to see how you're any different than Sargon. I mean, in a practical sense, what is the difference between a genuine Trump supporter, and someone like you? Like, who gives a shit how much you may supposedly want a real universal health care system if you come off as nearly as indistinguishable from Assimilate?

You go on and lecture on your noble gay horse whilst caricaturing me based on other peoples posts. This is prototypical far left behavior. Like, fuck. lol. I voted for Obama twice and I've never voted republican ever in my life you stupid fucking imbecile.

This is why people like Sargon, Shapiro, and Milo are making so much money off triggering twats like you. I wonder when some of you will understand this? You're no better than the far right.

Hey look, the so-called Obama voter likes people who shit on the Left. I don't know how anyone could have confused someone like this as a Trump supporter.

[Assimilate]

Based on what? Not wanting to hear another ridiculous transgender bullshit argument? Yeah you can still be mostly liberal and think it's becoming too much.

Nothing matters to people like yourselves. It's either everyone is 100% aboard with your lunacy or they're "racist" or "trump" supporters or whatever the fuck. "man, it doesn't matter you voted for a black democrat twice you racist! go wear your swastika with your other KKK members!"

Like, what dude? What are the odds that someone that voted for Obama twice is a raging bigoted racist? or a far rightwing lunatic? You guys are stupid as fuck. It's not shocking to me though considering most of you were GAF-Reeretards.

[Oblivion]

So, I'm actually not necessarily a left-wing purist, but I do feel that you don't want to give the impression that you're a right-winger, I feel it's reasonable to see at least SOME posts convey that (I think 50% is reasonable). I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have literally not seen a single one of your posts which involve politics where you haven't criticized leftist positions.

Now hey, I may be totally off base here. I mean, it's not like I stalk every single one of your posts, and that it may just be coincidental bad timing on my part that every instance I can recall when I've seen you post that happened to be the case. Maybe there's a plethora of posts where you shit on right-wing opinions mercilessly that I'm not aware of. But I'm just giving you my perceptions from what I've encountered of your posts thus far.

or they're "racist" or "trump" supporters or whatever the fuck. "man, it doesn't matter you voted for a black democrat twice you racist! go wear your swastika with your other KKK members!"

So... literally the only thing I called you was a "Trump supporter". From that, your mind translated that to "racist", "swastika wearer" and "KKK member"?

Oh and since you brought it up, who did you vote for in the last election? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume it wasn't Hillary, since you probably would have mentioned that like with the Obama votes.

[Oblivion]

Also, is pointing out that you "voted for Obama twice" an example of virtue signaling?

First of all, I criticize the right. For example, the neocons itt got really mad because I was shitting on both Trump for bombing Syria and and corporate media that were supporting him with no evidence whatsoever. The reason why you don't "see" me criticizing republicans is because when I do thebore usually is trying to defend the neoliberals they shill for that have policies similar to Republicans. Take health care for example that is almost the same as the Heritage Foundation's plan. Did liberals notice that I was shitting on the Heritage Foundation too? Nope, they were too busy defending their sempai Obama and his rightwing health care plan.

And Sargon is just another liberal that SJWs turned to the right. One the myriads of examples, but let's not open that can of worms again, the idpol liberals will get triggered again.

Gee you really wonder why this is ? Is it because maybe losing the election to fucking Trump might be a cause for some introspection for the entire party? What exactly are you going to criticize the right for at this moment? They won the election when the dems were coming off 8 years of Obama and a rising economy. They have bat shit crazies just like the left has bat shit crazies. Trump is all everyone talks about on both sides, automatically people are talking about the crazy right when they talk about Trump. The main reason a lot of people focus on liberals at the moment is because they are not doing the right things in order to win the next election. Instead of reevaluating their position on things, the left has lost their collective fucking minds. But anyways, i don't post in this thread often so any impression you got from me was either from another thread arguing with crazies like Cindi or from other posters posting about me.

Oh, and i did vote for Hilary despite thinking she was a horrible selection to run for the dems. I voted for her mainly because 1. Trump, obviously and 2. She wasn't going to fuck with international trade which my future earning potential relies heavily upon.

[benjipwns]

I mean, it's always good to reflect and all, but Hillary lost by small enough margins in key states that were openly ignored by an incompetent campaign apparatus that I think you can chalk it up to a strategic failure more than some kind of need for an ideological post-mortem that determines a social studies warrior philosophy and not being far enough to "the left" were to blame.

Especially since the defeat came in a system where voters picking the other guy doesn't necessarily tell you anything at all about their specific policy preferences.

And extra so when you're trying to construct some kind of strange argument about how "the Democrats didn't run a true socialist who completely ignores identity politics, which has caused people on YouTube to become conservative lunatics and/or Trump supporters" is evidence of...something..."the Left" should do? "Tackle real problems" while "reevaluating their positions" in some non-specific way that appeals to conservatives first and foremost?

Hi. This is Wilford Brimley. Welcome to distinguished mentally-challenged: A Celebration. Now, hopefully with this book, I'm gonna dispel a few myths, a few rumors. First off, the distinguished mentally-challenged don't rule the night. They don't rule it. Nobody does. And they don't run in packs. And while they may not be as strong as apes, don't lock eyes with 'em, don't do it. Puts 'em on edge. They might go into berzerker mode; come at you like a whirling dervish, all fists and elbows. You might be screaming "No, no, no" and all they hear is "Who wants cake?" Let me tell you something: They all do. They all want cake.
