La neuvième art (comics you've been reading)

I got around to reading Annhilator by Morrison and it was interesting. -
Blame Social Justice Warriors for Donald Trump
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Valsuelm's topic in Way Off-Topic
A very educational video. You've convinced me that playing ding ding ditch is a cultural marxist scheme to cuck the goyim. -
And Cruz, who has won less states I think? It's largely a bet on that if Cruz drops out he will rally the non-Trump GOP. Sanders has to overcome the Clinton machine, and while the future battles will largely be in more favorable territory it was a long shot to begin with. I'm willing to bet that even if Sanders manages to win the majority of delegates, he won't have enough to beat Hillary's super delegates.

Yeah I went during lunch and it wasn't crowded and voter turnout in Texas is abysmal. It already has. In fact I think it will shift even more if Trump and Bernie don't win their respective nominations. I hope you're right. I am certain of the former and am willing to bet all pseudo-intellectual internet cred on the latter. Now how far it shifts is still unknown, but Bernie and Trump have pushed things too far for an easy return to the status quo.

How was the atmosphere? Did everything go well? Because I heard about the voting machines returning Jeb Bush when voting for any other candidater in Austin. It was run out of a middle-school gym by six people. I had to wait in line to get my card and waited in another line to use a machine. There were maybe 8 democratic candidates on the ballot and a lot of other primaries were uncontested. After selecting my choices there was a two screen summary and it wouldn't let me "cast ballot" on the screen showing Bernie as the presidential candidate. Near as I can tell though it was a vote for Bernie. Most of the people there to vote looked like they were on break. With a few stay at home moms(one I almost hit on before noticing the ring) and some hipsters I assume were neets. The guy behind me talked how he was a republican until GWB and that he was scared of more war and Israel, but I didn't really talk to anyone so I can't really comment on the general consensus.

Voted for the Sandman a few minutes ago.

Yes, I mean, apparently that seems to be the case - but that's just stating what we know. What we want to know is an explanation for this, why this is the case. Yes, but Cruz also has the overwhelming support of evangelical pastors, yet evangelicals vote Trump. The lack of debates is an invalid explanation, because while it might explain why people in general vote Clinton, it does not explain the absurd discrepancy between black and non-black voters. So this leaves us with only the "religious leaders" explanation. But it also seems absurd that black religious leaders have a level of control over their congregations so much greater than that of any other religious group. 1. Blacks are among the most religious minorities in the US and have a lot of trust in their pastors. It's hard to explain to someone who isn't from the US(and the "South"), but most religious blacks take their religious leaders statements to heart more than other groups. Evangelicals aren't the same as the religious blacks and Cruz is a lot less "likeable" than Trump as well. 2. The lack of debates and the scheduling of then around sporting events and other times they won't be viewed is going to prevent name recognition and knowledge of the candidates' policies. Coupled with the tendency of blacks to vote for the establishment candidate(ie the one believed to be most electable by the party) and the view that Clinton will continue the Obama, who blacks overwhelmingly support, policies it isn't surprising they are supporting Hillary over a guy who they likely know little about and who challenges Obama on some things. 3. Bernie has had some negative encounters with black protesters and has tried to organize his rhetoric as being....economic stability for everyone. While this goes over well with working class whites and hispanics, some blacks view this as Bernie not caring about them.

This is the single most interesting thing this far. I am completely flummoxed by the fact that Bernie does so bad with black voters. It's not local to SC, he also did very bad with black voters in Nevada, but not with any other minorities. Truly incomprehensible, and I have not found any good explanations on the Internet either. It's likely a combination of Blacks generally being conservative(ie more likely to back establishment candidates) and a lot of them not knowing who Bernie is. Hillary has been capitalizing on the former by appealing to their religious leaders and the latter is exacerbated by having few debates(and what debates there are happen at times people aren't likely to watch) and the lack of coverage Bernie gets in the media.

Vice chairmain of the DNC steps down and endorses Bernie Sanders Yes.

Things like Bernie being too soft and not on the attack feeds to my musings about him just being controlled opposition and never really threathening her place as the nominee. But at the same time, he gets almost the same treatment as Ron Paul got back in 2012 by the media (think of the false accusations like the manufactured "BernieBros-scandal"). Maybe the interests just intertwine, or he's just a meek character, who knows. All i can say, i find it amusing that she got 86% of the black vote in South Carolina, compared to someone who actually marched with MLK and got arrested while protesting during the Civil Rights-era, all while she was campaigning for Nixon. Oh, and Milo thinks that Rubio is a flaming homo. This is hysterical. The issue with attacking Hillary is that the Clintons are party royalty and an attack on her would trigger a lot of liberals and could potentially hurt him in the primary. I'd say he should do it because framing himself as the crusader for better economic status for the lower classes and Hillary as a Wall Street shill would both weaken her and differentiate him from status quo Democrats. But as you said, he's getting the Ron Paul treatment and the debates are scheduled at times when people aren't likely to watch so perhaps the DNC decided it wants Hillary so perhaps there isn't anything that can change that. And I asked my friend's roommate if he thought Rubio was gay and he said that Rubio looks like a bottom. Make of that what you will.

Spam it on forums that you don't like. But what is real liberty? I've heard AnCaps argue it's free markets, Left Libertarians argue it's freedom from property(ie being able to work land without paying some guy because he has a piece of paper saying he owns it) and the state, Fascists argue it's the establishment of a home for your nation, and other non-mutually inclusive statements from various ideologies. It seems to me that "real liberty" is determined by ideology rather than being a constant value, which is why the religious liberty folks feel justified in state enforced standards based on theocratic values and calling it liberty. The social democrats perhaps, but socialists are more likely to be bitching at each other about whether reformism will work or if a terra cotta proletarian army will spring up and put their special snowflake party with maybe 100 members into power.

Why, who is he? Previous mayor of New York City and owner of Bloomberg LP. Policy-wise he'd be closest to Clinton. It's largely because the Hitler test seems to measure how in favor one is of left(ish) economic ideas and how supportive of Israel one is while the Fascist test is only two options with one being sort of....vicious I guess. All in all not very accurate tests, but I'll call myself a Halftler until I forget about it.
-
Maybe you're the gentle, tender half of Hitler? The misunderstood half. The half that just wanted to be loved. So I'm a mediocre painter who wants to live on a farm with a much younger woman?

0% Fascist but a Halftler. What does this mean?
-
57%, so half a Hitler.

TIME Magazine smearing Bernie Trump vs. Sanders!
-
It's probably because the discussion has revolved primarily around Sanders and Trump, but I have an unfounded suspicion that Meshugger's theory that Rubio is in the closest has somehow contributed.

It's a liberal wrapping themselves in the imagery of radicals from decades ago in an attempt to conceal their advocacy for the continuation of the current system as radical change. Attempting to make sense of the obvious contradictions will only lead to a massive headache.
