For those of you who aren't sure if you can vote for Hillary, or you favor Trump, I urge you to watch the following video. If you can still vote for Trump after watching this, then I want to see a point-by-point refutation to all 176 of Olbermann's points.
It is a double standard that the corporate media has perpetuated. Apparently it's OK for Trump to change his stance on immigration in one week despite the fact that it's one of the core parts of his campaign. Yet if HRC even slightly deviates from a position she held decades ago, ER MAH GERD...
It's part of the ridiculous "both sides are the same" bullcrap. I mean really, I'm sure that VP Pence would be a great defender of LGBTQ rights. :rolleyes:
Oh so it's OK for Obama to evolve on SSM but not Hillary! Come on. Another double-standard, much?
OK, let's try this again: In the 1990s, the mere idea of gay marriage was not popular. At all. The Clintons could have set back progress had they come swinging for it. Hell it could have cost him...
The problem is that any discussion of race, privilege, or systems of power--hell, the mere mention of any of these--triggers some people way too easily. For instance, you can't even put the word "privilege" after the word "white" without triggering someone, somewhere. It is very, very difficult...
You call it flip-flopping; I call it realpolitik. It seems to me that your position is one of idealism, not historical reality. I want you to stop, and think, about how badly the Clintons could have jeopardized the progress of the nascent LGBT movement, which was far less popular at the time...
By that logic, if 40% of Americans openly supported Communism, then the word "Communist" would cease to have any meaning.
The uncomfortable truth is that people, when called on their racism, almost immediately lock down and fiercely deny what is obviously true to anyone with critical awareness...
See, these are the kinds of mischaracterizations that have poisoned the well this election cycle. HRC isn't 100% perfect, therefore she must be 100% evil and no better than Donald Trump. Which is absurd. Nobody could reasonably come to such a ridiculous conclusion without grossly distorting the...
All three of the issues you raised have been discussed at length.
First of all, it's not the "Muslim world" as you describe it. Nearly every citizen of Turkey is a Muslim, yet Bush didn't seek authorization to invade Turkey.
Secondly, she has been upfront about the fact that this was a...
The American media loves controversy like flies love manure. That's why Trump got all that free publicity for a year. But now all that attention is horribly backfiring on him.
Trump is the most immature presidential candidate from a major political party in decades, bar-none. He has the maturity, patience, and trustworthiness of a typical four-year-old.
You know, we haven't met before, so let me just let you in on a little something:
When people disagree with me, which does happen, I tend to respond better to it if it's not laced with this kind of condescending tone, particularly when interlaced with an ignorance of the facts. Just saying...
