Alan Stubbs Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Watched some of the DNC there and it was a terrifying penny dropping moment. I had already long accepted that Trump winning is a real prospect but now it seems very real. It's scary how badly the Democrats are misreading the mood here. Trump's tapping directly into people's insecurities and telling them he's going to snap his fingers and solve them. Clinton and pal's GAP advert pish is not going to win in this election. Meryl Streep and Alicia Keys - I won't even go into that "fight song" business, deary fucking me - getting all giddy about how wonderful the world is while the Republicans talk about terrorism actually makes the latter seem like the grown-ups in this election. Which is a scary thought. Seriously hope the democrats pull the finger out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cream Cheese Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hilary is so inept, it's almost as if she wants the republicans to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Apologies to the resident lefty 'Progressive' simpletons for my low Trump score I did this a while back and Sanders was my runaway 'top candidate'.

banana Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 'Progressives' once again show they're they biggest racists in politics, this time by bullying white useful idiots and white mediafolk to the back of the line in a BLM-related protest march on the Democratic convention. Dat racial segregation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat racial segregation. Well of course that's outrageous, but posting it doesn't help your case at all. It's not typical and it's not really significant. It's like how the right wing press here have enjoyed highlighting the silliest, most extreme examples of a PC approach, as a means of attacking the entire notion. It's unconvincing, because it's essentially dishonest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 94 Jill Stein,91 Hillary. Happier with the former than the latter, tbh - although I reckon Stein says what she believes more than what will get her elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and the rest of the forum and the media and social media and the other usual suspects would be tripping over themselves with indigent rage had the races been flipped. But keep insisting there's not a bigotry problem with 'Progressives', Trump will love you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did you the courtesy of looking back at your posts on this thread, in a bid to see what your antipathy towards 'the left' was all about. I'm sure you've explained it all fully elsewhere, but I saw very little on here to help me. Early posts were fixated with gender, before we got more sideswipes at anything seen as Politically Correct. Resentment seems to be at the core.

Granny Danger Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Did anyone see the latest John Oliver episode? A 'celebrity' Trump endorser basically saying that because he thinks Obama is a Muslim then that makes him a Muslim. How do these folks manage to tie their shoelaces?

Adamski Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I got 93% Clinton (and 92% Jill Stein), and 5% Trump on that survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 80% Hillary which surprised me. I suppose you'd have to ask when the answers were complied as let's be honest, she'll have changed her stance on half of them by now...I also got a pop-up ad asking me to join Hillary's campaign after the result. Would that happen for any candidate, does anyone know, or is it a Democrat website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until these political surveys start asking about the best way to describe burds, they're not going to line you up with the right candidates.
