I mean either way, it’s no wonder we can’t win shit in elections. We eat our own over things like this.

You’ve summed up the entirety of the modern left and its identity politics platform in two sentences.

Democrats would have to run an as-yet-unnamed rock star in 2020 for me to give them my vote. Hillary was the last pity vote they’re getting from me. They need another beating at the ballot box and some more soul-searching.

I know that this is all just more of the same gibberish

My thoughts exactly. I don’t think it’s worth responding to anymore.

The fact that she is digging in her heels over this has caused her to lose my vote. And seeing left-leaning media outlets still defending her on this is equally disturbing. Actual native Americans must be rolling their eyes.

Which vote of yours did she lose?

Assuming she runs for president, that one.

So the primary? Or the general?

I am hopeful that the dems will come up with some decent alternatives, so I was thinking of the primary. As for the general - if it’s her versus the Donald, then I guess I’d have to admit that I’d have to vote for her. But wouldn’t it be nice if the dems could find someone that people didn’t have to reluctantly vote for - as was the case for many people who voted for Hillary Clinton?

We can only vote for the choices we are given. Forget Trump, would you really vote for someone like Paul Ryan over her?

“Wouldn’t it be nice” isn’t very practical in politics.

I will never understand how or why the copy-paste job that is TFA is so highly ranked.

You don’t have to understand. Just respect an opposing opinion (even if you disagree) and move on.

Anyway, my rank (if you have a problem it, oh well…):

Return Of The Jedi [Love-Favorite SW movie]
The Empire Strikes Back [Love]
A New Hope (or Star Wars) [Love]
The Last Jedi [Love]
The Force Awakens [Love]
Rogue One (TLJ, TFA, & R1 may switch around depending on my mood I think)[Love]
Revenge Of The Sith [Like]
The Phantom Menace [Like]
Attack Of The Clones [Mostly Okay-Least Favorite SW movie]

Haven’t seen Solo yet.

See it! If you liked every movie but one and that one was still mostly okay, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t at least like this one at a minimum.

Actually though I think the TIE Fighters are suppose to be suspended above the floor and fixed to the catwalk - no landing gear. TFA gets this wrong.

Is this based on anything in the movies? If not, then it’s not “wrong.”

Not to mention there’s nothing to say that the First Order didn’t make changes to the way their TIE fighters docked compared to the Empire’s models.

Logic, the enemy of rage.

For whatever reason people are misunderstanding the Warb. It wasn’t just that a woman leads a show. He didn’t like that a sociopolitical agenda was, at least in part, deciding the future of the show. And to be sure such an agenda was partly behind the gender switch. He’s been thus far happy the show isn’t making a big deal about it. Although, not making a fuss about it easily falls into the category of feminist agenda. Also, the show has been dominated by sociopolitical agendas for awhile now, so it’s rather late to complain overmuch about it.

To answer Frank seriously, if a long-established show returned to the air with committed Christian showrunners and they announced the star character was going to convert to Christianity, I bet you many people would be offended by the pereceived Christian agenda.

There is still a difference between making the protagonist a devoted Christian and making them a person that appeals to Christians (i.e. having strong family values). Likewise, having a female lead is something that appeals to feminists, but that doesn’t mean the main character has to be overly feminist.

Sure, and Warb has recognized the distinction you draw. It was that recognition by him that led to the current discussion.

Constructing an apt and non-controversial analogy is nigh impossible, but there are choices Christian showrunners could make that would create consternation depending on the previous characterization of a protagonist. Having a Christian character is no guarantee the show will portray Christian values either.

I agree that a woman doctor is not the sine qua non of a feminist agenda and as I said the show has already displayed a feminist agenda.

are you warbs spokesperson?

Thank you for your interest. Here at Warb Inc., we strive to provide excellent customer service and effective communications strategies. While your resume shows you have participated in communication campaigns in the past we are looking for someone who can generate original content. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

So how did Dek get in the door?

You have to create an account to see that. Can you give a brief summary of what that’s about?

It appears to have now been deleted, which isn’t surprising because they say politics are against the TOS and no one is allowed to even come close to talking about it. And that’s why you can’t see it anymore, there’s nothing there that requires an account to see.

OP wanted to start a guild for all women. Next post was something like “take your feminist agenda to the guild recruitment section like the rest of us” because it was posted in the wrong subforum. And I’m not even kidding, it happened today.
