People on ERA are more concerned with convincing themselves that they're right than trying to convince others.

NO U R WRONG !

It’s the same in war. If you completely encircle the enemy they will fight to the last, as hard as they’ve ever fought. Leave a gap, though, a sliver of redemption and they will take that exit and break allowing you to destroy them.

By allowing Canadians to vote?

Reminds me of this classic Kirblar post:

These people aren't "being tricked". They're just awful people. They're the lion trying to kill you. You can bribe it with meat, or trap it in a cage, or isolate it in a park reserve, or kill it when it attacks you. But you sure as hell can't bargain with it

kirblar angry, kirblar smash PUNY RUSSIAN BERNIE BROS

There is an explicit cohort of Bernie/Trump and other toxic behavior overlap that exists and acknowledging that and referencing that does not mean you are trying to tag a label to anyone who voted Sanders in the primary. Jamelle Bouie sure as hell ain't a "Bernie Bro". The amount of defensive complaining from people who think they're being attacked by the term is ridiculous.

If you are surprised Tulsi is controversial and are a fan of her for her "anti-interventionism" (lololololol given her criticisms of Obama) that strongly suggests your media diet is a problem. Oh wait, "shoot your dog." Never mind, thanks for making it clear you're not interested in actual debate on substance and may not even be aware she was a Prosecutor, not a cop.

Supporting Tulsi basically means you're watching people parroting RT lines.

I don't see how they are similar. The emails were just emails. Being a prosecutor and an Attorney General is willingly taking part in a racist, classist system that actively hurts people every single day.

And complaining that the people who got the people who murdered my friend's little sister murdered were bad simply because they were "participating in the system" is gross, juvenile, and ignores the very necessary role it plays in society.

The US political system is also racist and sexist. And guess what, we need to participate in it anyway to get change made. If your argument that no one should participate in racist, sexist systems, you're fundamentally arguing for non-participation. Which, coming from you, is the least surprising thing ever.

A justice system is necessary, but a bigoted one isn't. At any rate, Hillary's emails, which didn't really hurt anyone, doesn't compare to participating in the justice system. Two completely different things.

If you're gonna change it, you need to participate in it. Otherwise your argument is "Revolution" and well, lol. And the initial question wasn't about the real-world effects, it was about the electoral/political ones, where the "EMAILS" thing turned into a gigantic problem for the campaign where the Comey Letter likely hurt the campaign just enough to create a loss due to the timing and insanely slim margins. A background as a prosecutor is not going to have the same problematic impact, especially in a general election.

[Nintex]

Man I just ran into my old co-worker who was such a die-hard Sanders fan he would casually tell customers over the phone in the call-center how much he liked Bernie Sanders. Then he got fired for smoking weed at work, then Pizza-gate happened and he was convinced it was real, and he became a Trump supporter even though we're in Australia, so none of that shit even matters. To be a Trump supporter in Australia, you pretty much have to be against the progress of human civilisation in general.

Why would you not support Trump as an Australian or European?

Bush
- Fallout of Iraq/Afghanistan wars
- Economic crisis fucked up the entire world but thank you for bailing out European banks as well George

Obama
- Agreed with the plan to oust Qadaffi turning Libya into the number 1 vacation spot for gun runners and human traffickers. Which was the biggest self-own for allied Europe since the battle of France
- Lack of action against ISIS while at the same time trying to oust Assad by arming 'not-ISIS' caused terrorism to spread like wildfire
- Lack of action against Russia during the Ukraine crisis inspired Putin to takeover half of Ukraine

@realDonaldTrump (2 years in)
- Keeps journalists employed and citizens entertained
- Wants Kim Jun Un to be his best friend

The big issue is pretend this is a new issue brought on by Trump


Again 1968 is the key to understanding why this conversation is mostly pointless, this romanticaztion that what you need to do is be kind and understanding and they will change is basically the dogmatic nonsense some women in conservative societies get from folks around them.

The focus is always on what the abused can do to avoid abuse, never about the abuser.


Done with it.

Done with this pop psychology idealism, done with the myriad of pop thinkers selling books on the backs of both sides are too blame, moderate, centrist claptrap. Done with those who fear the left as much as the right (or secretly more), done with all the attention on reaching out to them, on fixing them, on understanding them...

It's just reinforcing the cycle of abuse.

I'M DONE WITH IT. I'M MOVING TO CANADA!

...It's part of why "the facts don't add up" never really washed with me, especially considering the flimsy arguments it was used to prop up right from the get-go...

The crazy twists and turns suggest that it is probably not a good idea to jump the gun. however,  what I find funny about these type of comments is they seem to be an attempt at justifying why uncritically believing the victim is the right decision.

I would switch it on him. The question I would pose to him would be: So, you think the reason all these crazy reports have come out is because the facts add up?

Surely the one thing you can be certain of right now is, the facts don't add up. Even if in the end it is found out that everything Smollett claimed was true, it is clear right not the facts don't add up.

It just seems like a weird attempt at twisting the uncertainty in the case right now into a justification for why he was right to believe the victim. lol

One thing I think we can all agree on, no matter what the indisputable facts of the case end up being established, nobody on era was in any way wrong for saying anything that they did, especially not the mods, everyone who was banned for questioning authority entirely deserved it, and nobody will ever need to take a moment of self reflection or introspective thought and humility, nobody will learn anything and nobody will grow as a result.
