Heh. Just noticed Clinton has won 9 States, Sanders 8. Too bad the States she's winning, she's absolutely owning, thanks to #HillarySoBlack.
I don't like how that hashtag makes it look like Hillary winning the black vote is somehow bad.
She has a mediocre record on civil rights, and nothing other than pandering to indicate that she has black interests at heart. If you assume that the primary factor that black people have in common to distinguish them as a voting bloc, her huge lead among black people makes no sense at all, especially compared to Bernie Sanders who has been imprisoned in the name of civil rights. So... I guess it's a good thing that race in America has fallen to a level of importance such that very many black people will happily vote against their racial interest, but it's still an odd statistic and (for those black people who do still place a high importance on race) it shouldn't be hard to see why this is frustrating.
If it's really so baffling why black voters support Clinton, have you tried to see what they're saying about it?
The problem is, black people that are vocal about politics, race, and the intersection thereof tend to also be pro-Bernie.
SJW dont actually exist the way they are talked about.
They exist, though they are quite rare.
They are being used exactly the same way as fascism got bandied about
Fascism exists too. Hell, it's practically Trump's campaign platform; as much as it's true that the term has been erroneously applied to right-wing leaders since forever, his campaign has a ton of philosophical and methodical overlap with all three of the big-name European fascist leaders.
Not to say that the post you're criticizing really added anything productive to the conversation.
Probably because being a SJW isn't being a leftist, it's being both leftist and an irrational demagogic shithead at the same time.
Here's a nice little dissertation on the subject:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZl9tKBARCATrump is the irrational demagogic shithead, not Clinton, they're polar opposites there. There is a healthy dose of demagogurey that is always present in election campaigns though.
Trump is a demagogue. Bernie is a demagogue. Clinton mixes demagoguery with traditional politics. You know who's not a demagogue? John Kasich. Take a look at his poll numbers.
Lo and behold the mighty works of mainiac, king of reframing. Know thy words be turned against thy breast, and despair.
Oh shit son
So you feel that your words are being turned against you.
Man you can't even compete. This is playground-tier banter "I know you are but what am I" like this is when you should have either gotten real or just stepped out.
Also that was kinda like that thing where Rubio was repeating his talking point and Cruz was like "look at this robot" and in response Cruz went and did it again. Like, that's exactly what he just called you on.
My question was: How would you feel
It's a dumb question. Who cares?
keeping that in mind, why do you think I'm asking this?
Because you've gotten yourself into an argument that you lack the skill to win, yet you also lack the congeniality to concede and the dignity to simply stop posting. That is, after all, the typical reason that people appeal to the heart when addressing matters of the brain. Of course, that's merely the conclusion I've drawn based on the evidence you've presented. If you want to present some other notion, it might behoove you to ask less questions and proffer more answers.
Not from what I recall, no, socrates wasn't particularly well known for asking people to be polite. Forget exactly which one it was, but at least one of the big three (Aristotle/plato/socrates) was known for being something of a jackass.
Probably thinking od Socrates. He was definitely known for asking stupid questions.
Fairly sure it was socrates that was the illiterate psuedo-hobo that yelled at people in the marketplaces, though.
The one best known for being homeless was Diogenes.
But as soon as mainiac stops politely asking them questions and calls them out on the shit people threaten to call the toad.
Nobody did any threatening, Nenjin's request that people chill was a non-directional appeal to logic. It's a reasonable suggestion, in my opinion. As for questions, your questions are probably the rudest thing you've been doing. If you would stop that and say whatever you've been actually trying to say, that would move things in the right direction.
