Cool

It’s ok dahamage, he’s right, I’m going to go back to my bosses at the DNC to let them know.

I’d say they couldn’t do any worse, but I suppose anything is possible.

It sounds to me like the could do a lot worse. They could actually do all of the things that your favorite rightwing Youtube channels have told you that they’re doing.

Other than being smarter and less erratic, Paul Ryan isn’t much different than Trump. They’d have very similar agendas.

Trump has no agenda except “win” whatever that means.

He’s being used to push the same kind of agenda that Paul Ryan would push. The only difference between a Ryan administration and a Trump administration is that the latter is headed by a demented and unpredictable moron.

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, but seriously, what does that even mean? The entirety of the modern left is not identity politics. I don’t understand why you’re trying to push this narrative that it is, but you’re not fooling anybody.

To elaborate, Bernie Sanders was inarguably the biggest leftist figure in 2016 and his platform was not identity politics. It revolved around income inequality and the monopoly on power that “the 1%” has, and he’s now the most popular politician in America because of that platform. How is the “entirety” of the modern left just identity politics?

Elizabeth Warren is a genuine progressive. She doesn’t go as far as I would prefer, but she goes far enough for me to support her. Unless she changes those principles to ones that I don’t like, I will support her. I don’t care about a stupid scandal like this, especially since it doesn’t affect her policies at all.

Unless it comes out that she firebombed a children’s hospital, then I see no reason to not vote for her just because of her personal life.

4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

I think we’ll probably see the trilogy in 4K within the next year or two now that Disney has bought out Fox. Whether it’s the original trilogy or the terrible, ugly, 1990s-video-game trilogy is a different question. I normally would assume that we wouldn’t get the unaltered versions, but between mverta’s newest update and the “slow down” we’re supposed to expect from the new films, I think that they might release a big box set that includes the original versions as a selling point. I’m not holding my breath, but I wouldn’t be stunned by any means.

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?

Unless he lives in Massachusetts, I don’t know. Personally I think it’s embarrassing to not vote for one of the few anti-corruption Democrats over something this pointless and irrelevant.

As I feared someone else has used the national anthem as a time for protest.

No one cares about this country’s stupid anthem.

Just because you don’t, doesn’t mean nobody does.

Right, but nobody should.

If you say so.

If I weren’t so cowardly I would sit for the anthem, but I don’t want to get murdered by morons that pretend to love America by worshipping the flag.

As far as I know, there have been no acts of violence committed against those that protested during the anthem.

I’m paranoid. I wouldn’t be surprised if some douchebag sitting next to me decided to throw a punch at me in honor of the flag.

Idiots initially succeed in a disgusting fascistic attempt to censor a production of To Kill a Mockingbird. These people should have been ignored. I hate it when stupid people are allowed to participate in discourse and I hate even more when they’re allowed to ruin things for decent people.

Thankfully, the school made the right decision in the end and didn’t bow down to the idiots demanding censorship of one of the greatest stories of the 20th century:

So, what is wrong with mentioning the words “feminist agenda”? I think we have to agree that whether the agenda is good or bad, right or wrong, Feminists do have agenda. I think even feminists themselves would agree that they have an agenda. So why does using the words “feminist agenda” = “saying stupid shit”?

It’s stupid because you think that having a female lead is the equivalent of having a feminist agenda.

Nope, that is not what I think.

That’s been the crux of your commentary from the beginning. Forgive me for making that obvious connection.

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.

OK. I assumed because it took me to a page demanding that I make an account.

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.

This must be a lie, because you say that the OP got deleted and I’m told that only conservatives are censored online. 😉

Going away? Post so here!
Time

I’m not doing too bad actually, I’m just extremely busy because I just started a good job that I actually like, but since it’s entirely on a computer I don’t really feel like spending my free time online anymore. I also now no longer have a job where I can constantly be online wasting time, which is a big reason why I spent so much time here over the years.
