235Yeah I know people who are like "well I'm ALWAYS voting Republican!" Dudes some of your own PEOPLE aren't voting for him
236SEAMONSTER HYPE

238Supporting Me
239Most of those in the Team R camp are kinda in denial about crazed bigotry that Trump's louder supporters have

241No one said that about Bush and his 200,000+ emails either

342Exacerangutan
343I think the best rule of thumb is that if Trump accuses someone of doing something they shouldn't do, he's probably done it ten times harder
344кαвσσʀαgι
345that fucking picture
346ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
347yeah it's what's the word i'm looking for
348ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
349starts with a d i think, rhymes with adorable....
350midterms
351frankly I'm only surprised it took them this long
352Exacerangutan
353I mean they've unofficially endorsed him through certain famous representatives and associates for at least like 7 or 8 months?
354Exacerangutan
355and it took Trump basically a full day to realize that not disavowing those associates wasn't a great idea (I guess it should be a pleasant surprise that it was just a day, idk)
356FOOD DEMON
357i think the worst thing about this election is that trump is seen as anti-establishment by his supporters
358FOOD DEMON
359and it's like
360FOOD DEMON
361"you're gonna get screwed over too my dudes"
362FOOD DEMON
363well one of the worst things, not THE worst thing
364stillagentskye
365Can ge get any more disgusting if he tries? I think not
366Exacerangutan
367these are too many worst things to keep track of
368Exacerangutan
369but yes the persistent delusion among his supporters that his half-assed rejection of/by the political establishment makes him actually anti-establishment
370未熟∂ÑєαмєÑ
371my mom tried to counter my disagreements about emails being useless with 'do you know what hilary did to the women who would report bills scandals'
372Exacerangutan
373I've been saying for awhile that one of the main problems with the DNC having picked Clinton is that it let Trump cast his campaign as Establishment vs. Anti-Establishment
374midterms
375ah yes, the rich old white dude
376midterms
377so edgy
378midterms
379so antiestablishment
380Exacerangutan
381...probably protected her political career by avoiding/minimizing their importance?
382ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
383you mean the rich old white dude who was given a small loan by his father to the tune of $40 million
384ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
385writes my papa for a small loan
386Exacerangutan
387........compared with Trump doing the same, and worse, except he's the one actually accused, by a larger number of women last I checked, and he has the gall to cast aspersions at Hillary by way of Bill?
388未熟∂ÑєαмєÑ
389yeah.
390Exacerangutan
391...like yes I 100% agree Hillary's feminism track record is spotty and marred with self-interest but are you seriously raising this as a point of comparison?
392FOOD DEMON
393hillary can't win, she'd be blasted for divorcing bill, meanwhile trump remarries and that's fine bc mans
394Exacerangutan
395oh look it's just like every other comparison in this campaign, someone not-great versus someone actively horrible
396midterms
397you know I have never seen a reliable source about what she supposedly said about those women
398midterms
399outside of like, one comment made in private or something
400Exacerangutan
401Oh, yeah, of course. ...I mean she has a long history of being weirdly tone-deaf or making bizarrely Stereotypical Politician Choices about how to handle things, but yeah the double-standard is gross, too.
402Exacerangutan
403...but that's the whole election cycle, Trump accusing people of things he's doing even worse and his supporters somehow finding ways to overlook that because.........??????
404Exacerangutan
405Idunno. People have an amazing capacity for self-deception when they want badly enough to believe something.
406midterms
407which granted is still not great but at the same time, expecting someone who has been betrayed in a very public, humiliating way to respond rationally
408midterms
409it's reaching and most people I saw making it went dead silent when women came forward to accuse trump
410Exacerangutan
411I have a lot of "ugh I really wish she'd <X>" about Clinton, but I also wish I could make a living on RP and eating chili fries, so.
412Noodle Emperor
413omg so much shock. a group that KNOWS it isn't popular endorses a candidate to manipulate people
414Noodle Emperor
415Who would IMAGINE SUCH A THING
416Noodle Emperor
417this didn't literally happen last three elections too

419holy f Trump has private emails he deleted. I bet they were super above top secret classified too and it was literally treason that he sent those emails in the first place, let alone
420Noodle Emperor
421tried to hide from the FBI (sorry, IRS! Totally the same thing) that he did it, and even tried to bribe them into declassifying it so it wouldn't be a crime he sent it.

487"The least legitimate complaint". Well, god knows, there are plenty. He's pretty much proven himself to be, over and over again, to be completely incapable of the requirements of president.
488Noodle Emperor
489Except he hasn't at all

491Noodle Emperor: WHat fucking planet are you from?
492Noodle Emperor
493Especially if we're pretending third party votes don't count
494Noodle Emperor
495The fact that he wasn
496Gavitron
497You're right. He totally released his tax returns. He's never insulted anyone. He's never been a walking scandal every fucking second of his whole campaign. OH WAIT.
498Matt
499The president is, first and foremost, a diplomatic position. You're talking about a person here who has stated flat out that he will declare war on our actual next-door neighbors.
500Sharkleberry
501Like seriously, I want to know where it's considered presidential to get into a twitter war? Where it's appropriate to make fun of disabled people?
502Noodle Emperor
503Oh man. Tax returns are super important to presidency
504Sharkleberry
505Yes, actually.

514Sharkleberry
515Yes.
516Matt
517...it would appear, yes
518Noodle Emperor
519When is it considered presidential to refer to women who are assaulted by your husband as 'bimbo eruptions'? IDK man.
520ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
521guys just ignore them please
522Matt
523When is it considered presidential to refer to women period in the ways he has?
524Gavitron
525Alright, OP. I'll not respond to them further.
526Noodle Emperor
527Who knows? People are voting for Hillary so they must think it's okay.
528ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
529i'm asking as a favor just because i can tell this is going to get ugly
530Noodle Emperor
531Yes. It must be that I'm just some white knight. Because I am annoyed right now and sick of listening to false information circulate
532Matt
533...yeah, Noodle Emperor , that's a block from me.
534Noodle Emperor
535I mean, I get it. Election year, he's an R. Crazy things get said about him. But it's so excessive it's just
536Noodle Emperor
537annoying.
538Sharkleberry
539You really are something else. It's not false information when he's on record saying/doing it. Bless your little heart.
540sʜɪᴛᴘá´sᴛɪɴɢ!â„¢
541you're trying to preach to a community of people by and large that hates trump that hey trump isn't that bad I swear

543how did you really think that was going to go
544Noodle Emperor
545Dude. The whole "He's a failed businessman" is patently false

549Guys, let us ignore the troll. OP has requested this.
550ᴘaʀᴋeʀ.
551omg ...
552Sharkleberry
553Okay. I'm done.
554Noodle Emperor
555I honestly don't care? I was already angry about something and saw this. So, yeah, I realize people are just going to get angry about it
556ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
557i mean i encourage discussion but
558Noodle Emperor
559but I'm fine with that.
560ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
561i honelsty don't think anything good can come from this discussion
562Noodle Emperor
563If people want to discuss it civilly that's fine too
564Crysiana
565Honestly, though, I think that it's kind of a pity that Clinton isn't facing a decentish candidate.
566Noodle Emperor
567Normally I just ignore it and let it go because it's election year and this happens
568Noodle Emperor
569just already irritable so I didn't feel like doing that this tim
570Noodle Emperor
571e
572Matt
573I'd prefer an actual brick to either of them.
574Crysiana
575Because if she's elected, then people will say "sure a woman got into the oval office, but look at the comparison"
576Crysiana
577OTOH I also wish there were some kind of limit on when campaigning will start, which won't happen but I can dream.
578Noodle Emperor
579I really don't think that's what would happen if she's elected.
580Crysiana
581I think a big problem with this election cycle has just been that everyone is so damned tired of it.
582Noodle Emperor
583I mean, some people will say that, but there's a lot of people who like Trump, Jill, or Johnson
584Crysiana
585Well and that the Republican field was huge to begin with so it's been a bit of a clusterfuck from the word go.
586Noodle Emperor
587I lean toward Castle myself. I just don't hate Trump and refuse to believe the crazy lies that get spread
588Crysiana
589Though I'm still amused that this past year of political chaos started off with John Boehner meeting with the Pope and immediately getting the fuck out of dodge.

596Crysiana
597Oof I moved from PA last year so I feel you.
598ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
599and yes reports of early (read: absentee) voting in PA are currently leaning red but don't worry guys there's no early voting unless you can prove you can't make it to the polls
600Crysiana
601also
602ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
603and anything that reports it as "early polling" is misleading af
604ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
605early voting*
606Crysiana
607Note that most of the absentee voting in PA will be people who have gone south for the winter IE retirees.
608ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
609yeah our absentee voters are generally retirees, military, and college students
610ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
611and typically hard lead republican
612ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs

627few weeks ago people started taking down their trump signs
628Gavitron
629I love it here in Washington. ALL absentee ballots. No polling places on Election Day.
630ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
631they are back :-(
632Crysiana
633ah, so three or so hours north of you
634ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
635guh i wish it worked like that
636ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
637that's why i'm going early
638Crysiana
639man like
640Crysiana
641I feel like mandadory voting would be nice
642ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
643i mean trump actually called out philly as a place to "poll watch" so
644Crysiana
645*mandatory
646thanks obooma
647or just make election day a holiday like bernie wants to do
648Crysiana
649even on a national holiday things are open
650Crysiana
651But yeah that would go a long way to making it easier
652ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
653i'd rather vote early, that way i don't have to go in in person
654Noodle Emperor
655Are you sure they took them down and weren't just straight up stolen? That does tend to happen to Trump signs.
656ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
657i really don't like crowds
658Murder Duck
659we only have three holidays closed at Pizza Hut...
660Crysiana
661/nodnod
662Murder Duck
663and we have it easier than, like, walmart or Sheetz
664Crysiana
665Well, and in some places you can vote by mail but need to put a stamp on it.
666Noodle Emperor
667Though I do believe he did get a surge of renewed interest when the FBI renewed their investigation into Hillary so that could have been the thing that happened, too.
668Crysiana
669And it's like...well, okay that's great but some people can't afford that payout
670ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
671yeah i think they should mail out prepaid envelopes
672ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
673that way they can also hit the areas that aren't quite as well-populated
674Noodle Emperor
675I think you can take your envelope and drop it off at certain places.
676ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
677i know this woman had to prove she was who she said she was under the voter id laws and she's older so she can't drive
678ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
679so she had to get her daughter to drive her like 3 hours to the nearest dmv idk that sounds crazy to me
680ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
681like it shouldn't be this difficult to get to a place like the dmv, or the sueprmarket, or your polling place
682Crysiana
683/nodnod Making it easier for everyone to vote should be a priority.
684ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
685yeah i think when you become a citizen or turn 18 reistering to vote should be opt-out, not opt-in
686ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
687they asked me if i wanted to, when i became a citizen, i was like
688ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
689do people say no to that????
690ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
691apparently they do
692ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
693that just makes me so sad, you've made a decision to become a citizen! you're granted these privileges and duties!
694Noodle Emperor
695It's easier to be opt-in than opt-out.
696Noodle Emperor
697Keeps track of the people who make it to voting age and are eligible and helps keep people from sneaking through the cracks with say
698Noodle Emperor
699dead people or people who've renounced citizenship or felons
700Noodle Emperor
701where correct paperwork wasn't filed and now someone who shouldn't vote, can.
702smol datachild
703it also allows for a chance to confirm that the voter-to-be understands what's expected of them and what the processes are and what they need to do if they move or change their name or the like
704Noodle Emperor
705('Shouldn't' in the eyes of the law, at least.)
706Noodle Emperor
707That too.
708Noodle Emperor
709It ensures they're in the correct place to be making the votes at a local level
710Noodle Emperor
711rather than still voting for someone in Cali while living in Idaho because their information hasn't updated but they've moved.
712Crysiana
713Yeah like. I know that felons don't have the right to vote in a lot of states and that is legal by the current interpretation of the 14th amendment but I have personal objections that.
714smol datachild
715I can personally see some people choosing to opt out of registering to vote if they plan on moving out of the country before voting would actually be something they have a chance to do
716ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
717i mean, you don't have to vote after you register!
718Crysiana
719Well and this kind of goes back to the idea of voting as a national holiday, which would at least enable some people to vote who aren't really getting the chance to do so now.
720smol datachild
721you don't, but I understand the logic behind choosing not to
722Noodle Emperor
723Well, if they don't plan to vote because, say, they feel they shouldn't because they lack the information about a certain cycle (not necessarily the presidential one)
724Noodle Emperor
725they can always register on another voting cycle
726Noodle Emperor
727The issue I would point out about a national holiday for election day is that the lowest rung of employment will have even less chance to be off that day
728Noodle Emperor
729National holiday = most people home = more people going shopping and other things besides voting
730Noodle Emperor
731which means that retail employees are almost guaranteed not to get it off
732Noodle Emperor
733or fast food workers or etc
734Noodle Emperor
735A workaround might just be to have election 'day' be more than one day, so if one day people don't have it off, another day they might
736smol datachild
737having more options for early and/or remote voting is the better option than making it a holiday, I think, at least at this current point in time
738smol datachild
739spreading it over multiple days would be better, too, though offhand I'm not sure how common that is?
740ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
741what do you mean?
742ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
743like states that allow... early voting?
744Noodle Emperor
745An election 'week' would be ideal, because that way, no matter what if you have even one day off a week (and you're supposed to) you can go vote.
746Noodle Emperor
747and doesn't provide the same issue as things that can get lost in the mail or around the house or require stamps/etc
748koâ™ix
749...or we just allow at will absentee voting
750FreebieDinersays
751"Trump is going to go to war with Canada if he gets in office." Wouldn't surprise me, scary. I'm Canadian, really hoping he doesn't get in!
752Exacerangutan
753I've heard in some places it's done entirely by absentee, with no polling places
754Exacerangutan
755...which I imagine has its own ups and downs, but.

757tbh i'm just glad the uk have had petitions not to allow trump in the country xD

762nipple dippers
763i'm still amazed they can say shit like that. over here, if anyone involved in politics/government used that kind of language or glorified atomic bombs, they'd be forced to step down in seconds

766Depravity Ocean
767i have a coworker who said she couldn't because she had been a felon. I told her that if she was through with her parole, she could. She said 'oh well i don't really want to vote anyway'
768Depravity Ocean
769then again she seemed to be for Trump so i'm kind of glad...

778koâ™ix
779i don't blame you
780midterms
781it used to be like that here too, honestly. part of trump's appeal to his base is he "says what's on his mind" and isn't pc
782midterms
783it's not exactly new what he's saying but he isn't bothering with the coded language politicians used so their racism didn't sound like racism
784ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
785What worries me about that is what happened in places like Greenville today where they burned down that church and graffitied "vote trump" on the side
786koâ™ix
787yeah "isn't PC" = i can be an open fuckwit
788ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
789Or that a sixth grade teacher told one of her students "can't wait for trump to deport you "
790ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs

804a nasty woman
805Dead people can't vote fam. They can't walk. Can't hold a pen. Very few transportation options.
806a nasty woman
807Honestly more concerned about trump supporters, since the first case of legit voter fraud in like ever was one of them
808a nasty woman
809But white people, as always, are an outlier and shouldn't be counted?
810Depravity Ocean
811of course only the black people commit real voter fraud

813...i just threw up a little in my mouth
814Not A Gobbler

817slightly offtopic the woman who accused trump of raping her at age 13 is about to give a statement and cnn just announced they're not airing it real time, does anyone know who is?
818ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
819also while no one should be happy about this i am hoping this gives her some peace
820ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
821...wow i can't find a stream and i think it's pretty reprehensible none of the networks are covering this
822ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
823nvm apparently she backed out of giving it... i guess she must really be conflicted to have made the announcement and then taken it back within about 8 hours
824ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs

981Like, seriously now. It's excessive even for a handful of days away from the election.
982ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
983yeah i know
984ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
985gefilte fish can't be that bad

987It could be like natto, you don't know.

989natto's not that bad either :-)

997meanwhile trump troll twitter account suspended for trying to get clinton voters to cast their vote 'via tweet'
998ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
999i feel like this should be actually persecuted as voter intimidation
1000ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1001meaaaaanwhile someone on 4chan is claiming responsibility for possibly hacking the website of lisa bloom and stealing data + emails in regards to jane doe making an unanonymous statement
1002ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1003no idea whether the site was actually hacked or if it's just more trolling
1004ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1005but ok when are laws going to catch up to social media
1006ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1007this is ridiculous
1008Noodle Emperor
1009If that's going to be persecuted, then we'd have to persecute the dems who claim republicans should vote on the 9th. That's just normal election year shenanigans
1010Noodle Emperor
1011I recall all the stuff that flooded FB during the UK vote about how people voting for "leave" would get a second day, and the people who wanted "stay" encouraged spreading the word
1012ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1013they sure should!
1014ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1015voter intimidation is a crime
1016ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1017i'm not really sure where you're trying to go with this
1018Noodle Emperor
1019Nowhere specific? Just that it's hard to deal with when it's on that level, because it's just rampant.
1020Noodle Emperor
1021The best that could be done is to make more people aware it's not just some harmless thing like getting involved in a sport, but an actual crime.
1022ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1023and the best way to do that is to treat it like a crime!
1024Noodle Emperor
1025Ideally? But a PR campaign first would be better.
1026Noodle Emperor
1027Ignorance of the law isn't an excuse, but it's goes down better when efforts are made to ensure that the people doing it aren't ignorant first

1029every time says this country needs to be run like a business i want to point out that business typically only give a shit about those at the top and the ones at the bottom are expendable and easily crushed

1033Harper did something similar a few elections back. It didn't come out until after the election, and it wasn't on twitter or aimed at any particular ethnic group.
1034Ɯαтєʀ Ɯιтcн
1035but robocalls that polled you for your intended vote, and if you weren't voting conservative, informed you of your local polling station at (fake place)
1036ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1037actually there is a specific law put in place against (specifically the repblicans) rigging and intimidating the vote against minorities
1038ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1039i believe it was actually put in place because of the kkk or something
1040Ɯαтєʀ Ɯιтcн
1041definitely linked to Harper. Never prosecuted, as far as I can remember. Absolute horsecrap.
1042ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1043it was supposed to be lifted in like 8 years.... but somehow i think it won't be lifted
1044Ɯαтєʀ Ɯιтcн
1045this is the same horsecrap but also racist.
1046Ɯαтєʀ Ɯιтcн
1047awesome.
1048Noodle Emperor
1049I mean, people have been beaten so badly they ended up in the hospital because they're voting repub, so let's not try to pretend only the republicans try to do it.
1050ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1051and i did look it up, not only will it not be lifted but they do have the rights to amend the law to be stricter
1052Noodle Emperor
1053There's laws in place because every party will do its best to try to be the 'winner' and people need reminders/restrainers to keep them from trying to force that
1054ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1055here is the anti voter indimidation agreement i'm talking about
1056CaptainAkaRed
1057ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs: That's actually two separate things
1058CaptainAkaRed
1059there is a Consent Decree banning the RNC from poll watching
1060CaptainAkaRed
1061and there is a law called the KKK Act banning hate crime related electioneering
1062CaptainAkaRed
1063the first one is due to expire one year from now if
1064ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1065...so what i'm getting is that they're adhering to neither of these
1066ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1067great
1068CaptainAkaRed
1069and only if
1070ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1071...yeah this is worse than i thought it was
1072ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1073LMAO
1074CaptainAkaRed
1075the RNC fail to get a NJ court to agree that the RNC is in contempt
1076CaptainAkaRed
1077DNC on the first initial
1078ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1079ah i guess that's why they're taking it to court
1080ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1081i do hope they amend it though because like, clearly it's not doing anything to deter people
1082Noodle Emperor
1083But it can be hard to track down some forms of intimidation, too. How do you catch the dude who slashes the tires of the guy with a trump sticker? Or keys 'Trump sucks' in the paint?
1084Noodle Emperor
1085I haven't even heard anything yet dealing with the people who steal the Trump signs aside from I think? One or two who escalated?
1086Noodle Emperor
1087So laws are good, but more information needs to be out there to make it clear it's not okay to do
1088CaptainAkaRed
1089actually, we are seeing the opposite effect. A historically black church was torched, and the words "Vote Trump" spray painted on the side
1090CaptainAkaRed
1091but yeah, the laws need to be updated nation wide
1092Noodle Emperor
1093We're actually seeing both, though
1094Murder Duck
1095well I mean tbf people are defacing/stealing political signs both ways around, at the very least
1096Noodle Emperor
1097Look at the homeless woman who was bullied for protecting the Trump star. Both sides are just
1098Noodle Emperor
1099they need to step back and stop attacking each other
1100ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1101CaptainAkaRed: i'm happy to let u know btw that the gofundme for that church has raised 12x the amount asked

1103i don't understand why this election is so vitrolic
1104ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1105in 12 hours
1106daughter ghoul.
1107unless it's like this every time and i never noticed before
1108Murder Duck
1109I mean I sorta... do get it
1110CaptainAkaRed
1111yeah, I saw that on MSNBC
1112ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1113no it's... definitely this election
1114Noodle Emperor
1115It's always harsh, but it's insane this election
1116CaptainAkaRed
1117definitely this election
1118Noodle Emperor
1119partly because the arguments at least in part on both sides are
1120Noodle Emperor
1121"That person is literally the worst person"
1122CaptainAkaRed
1123last election was far less toxic
1124Noodle Emperor
1125rather than "I am literally the best person"
1126ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1127as a personal anecdote i actually like hillary clinton
1128Noodle Emperor
1129And when your supporters think "That guy is THE WORST" then it translates to "You literally have to be the worst to support that guy"
1130ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1131both as a person and as a politician
1132ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1133i'm not voting "against trump" i'm voting for hillary
1134Murder Duck
1135Yeah, the hate is making people defensive
1136Murder Duck
1137but yeah same
1138Noodle Emperor
1139I actually like Trump, but I haven't voted yet because I'm not sure if I'm voting for him or Constitutionalist.
1140ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1141to be ABSOLUTELY fair though
1142Noodle Emperor
1143(Like =/= support, I like him, I wouldn't call myself a supporter)
1144ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1145if instead of hillary some asshole was running in her place (assuming i didn't like the dem nominee or w/e, i would have happily voted bernie too)
1146ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1147i would definitely be voting against trump
1148Noodle Emperor
1149I would have considered Bernie because he seems like a stand up guy, but never Hillary for me.
1150Murder Duck
1151yeah Stein is more like a candidate I'd have to hold my nose for probably
1152Noodle Emperor
1153I'm not against her supporters, though.
1154Noodle Emperor
1155I'll argue with them but I'm not going to charge and attack.
1156Noodle Emperor
1157I respect that Stein supports NoDapl. I don't agree with almost any of her policies.
1158daughter ghoul.
1159the worst part for me has been that it's...difficult sometimes to sort through what we can really expect in the aftermath fo the electiona nd what is fearmongering/hyperbole
1160ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1161i mean....
1162ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1163my coworkers have said "you're overreacting to this" but then... next day in the news you know
1164Noodle Emperor
1165In truth, I expect that when elected, both presidents are going to be very similar and end up doing mostly what their previous parties have done
1166ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1167people are spray painting "kkk" over campaign ads so
1168Noodle Emperor
1169Presidents can't act alone. No matter what they want to do
1170Noodle Emperor
1171they'll be fairly restrained.
1172daughter ghoul.
1173like half the people i know are telling me trump is going to turn us into nazi germany and the other half are telling me clinton is going to turn us into russia or smth
1174Murder Duck
1175Fuse the two and get Nazummnist Russany
1176Murder Duck
1177The best(?) of both worlds
1178Murder Duck
1179clearly
1180Noodle Emperor
1181Anyone who compares Trump to Hitler should take a look at the Filipino president. That dude is a mini Hitler. Trump can't do the Hitler thing because the country is too divided
1182Murder Duck
1183and every Duterte article's comment section is just flooded with supporters
1184Noodle Emperor
1185I doubt that Hillary would turn us into Russia, either. I do think that there's an increased chance of war against Russia though, because she's VERY aggressively anti-Russia right now
1186Murder Duck
1187that's scary af
1188Noodle Emperor
1189Yep, exactly
1190Noodle Emperor
1191Duterte is a horrifying monster and he has the support
1192Noodle Emperor
1193Trump is extremely controversial, but not nearly on Duterte's level, and he has half the country up in arms against him
1194sᴀᴇʀɪᴀʟ ᴋɪʟʟᴇʀ
1195/walks into this plurk
1196Noodle Emperor
1197Also, from what I can tell, Trump is still pro 2nd amendment, so transforming the country would much harder for him to do unless he suddenly flipped and then succeeded in removing it.
1198sᴀᴇʀɪᴀʟ ᴋɪʟʟᴇʀ
1199/immediately wildly backpeddles away
1200ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1201...
1202ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1203just because duterte is bad
1204ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1205doesn't mean trump is not bad though like
1206ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1207im' not understanding this logic
1208ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1209"he wouldn't literally be hitler"
1210Noodle Emperor
1211I'm not even saying he isn't bad, though I could probably have that argument
1212Noodle Emperor
1213I'm saying that people constantly calling him Hitler are totally wrong.
1214Noodle Emperor
1215I am arguing, though, that he won't be able to do a lot of what he wants to do - just as HIllary won't - because presidents are not kings.
1216Noodle Emperor
1217So the panic that gets circulated about the end of the world/etc is unwarranted.
1218ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs

1223he said he'd force the military to carry out war crimes
1224Murder Duck
1225even if it's just a normal continuation of Republican policy that's bad enough imo
1226Noodle Emperor
1227...Do I need to get a debunking link?
1228ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1229he said he'd shoot down russian war plans

1232ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1233he said he might use nuclear weapons in europe
1234Noodle Emperor
1235Should I also get the statements of Hillary saying she'd use executive orders to take away guns? C'mon man.
1236ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1237he said he'd seize oil fields in libya and iraq

1245You really don't want to bring assaulting women into a Hillary vs Trump debate
1246geѕтalт°
1247you're aware if she didn't defend the rapist in the case you're talking about, he would have been automatically freed, yes?
1248geѕтalт°
1249she was public defender, she literally had no choice
1250ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1251wait did someone bring that up

1275second amendment is worst amendment

1277trump wants to pass the death penalty for anyone who kills police officers
1278Noodle Emperor
1279And smearing the victim? Claiming she fantasized about older men, that was required?
1280ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1281displaying that he doens't understand how the executive branch works
1282Noodle Emperor
1283you're joking right
1284ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1285the victim had made claims like that about other men, if she hadn't argued it then she wouldn't be "doing her job"
1286ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1287also it's worth noting that she asked for a plea deal because the mother had asked for them to cut a deal because there were no rape shield laws at the time
1288Noodle Emperor
1289That's absurd, you realize that?
1290ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1291and they didn't want to subject the girl to court
1292ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1293you're going to have to be more specific on what "that" is
1294Noodle Emperor
1295What...
1296Noodle Emperor
1297That's amazing gymnastics
1298Noodle Emperor
1299The idea that Hillary HAD to defend the rapist to the best of her abilities. That's absurd.
1300geѕтalт°
1301well, she could have refused the case. he would have walked, though
1302Noodle Emperor
1303Or she could have taken the case and not done much with it.
1304ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1305are you unaware of the 6th amendment
1306Murder Duck
1307or thrown the case and been disbarred
1308geѕтalт°
1309....which would have been illegal
1310Noodle Emperor
1311I just...I'm kind of amazed. I've never seen anyone try to spin Hillary's actions as 'pro' toward the victim. Particularly since the victim disagrees.
1312Noodle Emperor
1313Prove she threw the case??
1314Murder Duck
1315I
1316Noodle Emperor
1317She went above and beyond to win the case, she did not do 'minimally required by law'. She is not innocent of blame in that situation, man.
1318Murder Duck
1319Nnnno i mean if Hillary hadn't defended him to the best of her ability she'd have been disbarred that is how the legal system functions
1320Rυву Ƙηιgнт
1321You don't have to like Hillary, but the shit trump has done is utterly reprehensible.
1322ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1323if you want someone to blame, blame the lab
1324Noodle Emperor
1325....riiight.
1326ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1327they threw away the only physical evidence
1328Noodle Emperor
1329That's totally how public defenders work. They don't make deals with prosecution and throw caes.
1330ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1331also i know that i told people in this plurk earlier to ignore you
1332Rυву Ƙηιgнт
1333and frankly yeah, most progressive, modern individuals are not going to support trump's policies.
1334ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1335but i was trying to stop a fight from happening in my plurk
1336Noodle Emperor
1337I didn't bring up the sexual abuse thing to be fair.
1338Noodle Emperor
1339There's a lot of horrible things that can be said about Hillary's treatment of women, but I am primarily interested in clearing up lies about Trump because I've been hearing them for a while
1340Noodle Emperor
1341it's old and tired, and frankly now that election is almost here
1342ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1343right but throughout this whole plurk i've tried to civilly ignore where you say things and then don't back them up with sources so
1344Noodle Emperor
1345people are super worried over it
1346Noodle Emperor
1347so it seems like a good time to lay them to rest, on the chance he does get elected
1348Murder Duck
1349well this was briefly civil anyways
1350Noodle Emperor
1351...What have I said that requires sources that I didn't provide?
1352ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1353i feel like if nobody's attacking each other i'm taking back my earlier statement
1354Noodle Emperor
1355The one thing I said that needed a source (Trump reversed what he said and worded it better) I provided immediately
1356Rυву Ƙηιgнт
1357He has publicly stated racist views and plans for racist policies on live TV
1358Noodle Emperor
1359Which ones?
1360ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1361Noodle Emperor Yesterday
1362Oh come on. The bankruptcies are the least legitimate complaint you could possibly have toward Trump. He has a 96% success rate. That's insanely good.
1363ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1364Noodle Emperor Yesterday
1365Oh man. Tax returns are super important to presidency

1367You want me to source that? I can if you want, I guess.
1368ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs

1370Are you sure they took them down and weren't just straight up stolen? That does tend to happen to Trump signs.
1371ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1372Noodle Emperor Yesterday
1373Though I do believe he did get a surge of renewed interest when the FBI renewed their investigation into Hillary so that could have been the thing that happened, too.

1376...the fear mongering in this plurk is out of this world, good lord. I thought it'd calmed down some last I looked.

1378Noodle Emperor 41 minutes ago
1379I mean, people have been beaten so badly they ended up in the hospital because they're voting repub, so let's not try to pretend only the republicans try to do it.
1380ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1381Noodle Emperor
1382But it can be hard to track down some forms of intimidation, too. How do you catch the dude who slashes the tires of the guy with a trump sticker? Or keys 'Trump sucks' in the paint?
1383ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1384Noodle Emperor 34 minutes ago
1385I haven't even heard anything yet dealing with the people who steal the Trump signs aside from I think? One or two who escalated?
1386ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1387Noodle Emperor 32 minutes ago
1388Look at the homeless woman who was bullied for protecting the Trump star. Both sides are just
1389Noodle Emperor
1390...Do you seriously not know about this stuff?
1391Noodle Emperor
1392I just assumed some of that stuff was well known.
1393ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1394Noodle Emperor
1395I doubt that Hillary would turn us into Russia, either. I do think that there's an increased chance of war against Russia though, because she's VERY aggressively anti-Russia right now
1396Noodle Emperor
1397Did you not see that one either?
1398Noodle Emperor
1399Like, if you don't know this stuff I can 100% go track it down if you want.
1400Noodle Emperor
1401I just assumed people were keeping track.
1402Ash!!1
1403even putting aside the blatant horrible stuff that's been done, I just don't see how anyone can think a businessman--just that, a businessman, no prior experience what so fucking ever
1404Ash!!1
1405would be a better president than someone with actual experience in the white house and a lawyer to boot
1406Ash!!1
1407like
1408Ash!!1
1409??????????????????????????
1410Noodle Emperor
1411You want sources for all those statements, or are you just...quoting everything I said, though?
1412Murder Duck
1413...I'll grant that Hillary's probably harder on Russia than Obama but if Reagan's inflammatory rhetoric didn't start WWIII then idk if she can do more than make things vaguely tense
1414ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1415i'm just answering this query
1416ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1417"Noodle Emperor
1418...What have I said that requires sources that I didn't provide?"
1419Noodle Emperor
1420Dude. Reagan was an actor. You don't need to be a career politician to be a good president.
1421ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1422i stated that you did not source many of the things you have claimed in this plurk
1423ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1424and you asked which ones
1425ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1426so i found those
1427Noodle Emperor
1428Then I'll source the things.
1429Murder Duck
1430I mean he was basically a charming muppet who occasionally yelled at the Soviets while other people did policy so he wasn't the worst
1431Ash!!1
1432dude reagan was also a governor. he had at least a little experience.
1433Noodle Emperor
1434I didn't realize some of those things required sources.
1435Matt
1436Noodle, you have no friends here. Go elsewhere. Please.
1437Matt
1438(yes, I did block you, and you are still blocked.)
1439Murder Duck
1440...also that yeah Reagan at least had practice governoring
1441ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1442i never said they did
1443ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1444i said that you keep saying things and not backing them up with sources
1445ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1446so i don't see why i should be disallowing people from arguing with you
1447Noodle Emperor
1448https://i.imgur.com/SHxla1R.jpg This picture is kind of rude but it's the easiest thing I can find that succinctly lists his successful businesses compared to his failed ones.
1449Noodle Emperor
1450I've been told there's lots more without his name, but I can't find a source on those and it's not relevant, because it still computes to 97% success rate
1451Noodle Emperor
1452I really don't mind if people argue with me. I don't want things to get super rude or hostile, but I am fine with arguments.
1453ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1454...one of the first things on that list is the trump foundation...
1455geѕтalт°
1456it's more like 42%, which is still respectable
1457Noodle Emperor
1458That is an interesting pictograph.
1459Noodle Emperor
1460The point is, the argument that he's a business failure is easily proven wrong and should have gone away a long time ago. He has failures, he isn't as a whole a failure.
1461ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1462in either case i disagree that being a good businessman is an indicator that he would be good for the economy
1463Noodle Emperor
1464That's a fair argument. I'm merely dismissing the fact that he is a failure as a businessman.
1465Ash!!1
1466last thing I'm going to say but no matter what arguement is provided, unless Hillary has personally shown up to punch a child in the face in front of you she's done nothing worse than like
1467Ash!!1
1468any other politician ever
1469Ash!!1
1470and is stil 10000000% more qualified than trump will ever be
1471Ash!!1
1472it's like passing over a qualified candidate in a job interview and going WELL I LIKE THE LOOK OF THIS FRAT BOY
1473Noodle Emperor
1474...that's...patently wrong.
1475Ash!!1
1476SURELY NOTHING WILL PROBABLY GO WRONG, WHY NOT
1477Ash!!1
1478okay but in simple terms
1479Ash!!1
1480are you gonna say trump is more qualified
1481Ash!!1
1482y / n
1483Ash!!1
1484simple as that
1485Noodle Emperor
1486I mean, the quality of her experience is questionable. Yes, she's had it, but she was forced to resign because she failed.
1487Noodle Emperor
1488So I really don't think that's a good argument to make re: here's their resume
1489Ash!!1
1490yes or no bruh
1491Ash!!1
1492and he's failed a few businesses
1493Ash!!1
1494but you don't say that makes him a bad businessman
1495Ash!!1
1496?????
1497Noodle Emperor
1498You're asking me a purposefully loaded question stripped of context, bro.
1499Ash!!1
1500nah when it comes down to it, trump is just plain not fit to be put in a position of political power
1501Noodle Emperor
1502It's like saying you have two resumes. One has experience but was fired for something very bad and one has no experience at the job previously. Which one is more qualified?
1503Ash!!1
1504that's just plain common sense
1505Noodle Emperor
1506That's cool, because I feel the same about Hillary.
1507Ash!!1
1508you do you bruh, you're obv at a wall so \(unsure)/
1509Ash!!1
1510night folks, yall rock on
1511Noodle Emperor
1512What you're discussing is basically opinion, it's not fact.
1513ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1514hillary's resignation is speculative
1515Noodle Emperor
1516And that's a fine reason to vote for someone
1517ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1518i mean
1519ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1520so is that she was forced to resign because of her failures
1521Noodle Emperor
1522That's politics though. There was a very bad scandal that involved multiple deaths, lots of people got booted for it and Hillary also resigned during that time.
1523Murder Duck
1524if I want heart surgery I'll take a doctor with a malpractice suit over a Wendy's manager tyvm
1525Noodle Emperor
1526Dude, that's your choice, but that's still a matter of opinion.
1527Murder Duck
1528some ppl just like a heart fulla chili
1529Noodle Emperor
1530You can't say they absolutely are the better choice
1531Noodle Emperor
1532Some people just don't trust the doctor who dropped the heart on the floor and stomped on it on accident last time he tried it.
1533Noodle Emperor
1534I'm not saying either one is more legitimate. It's just something that's going to influence people
1535Noodle Emperor
1536You're right to trust the surgeon given their training, and you're right not to trust the surgeon given their history
1537Noodle Emperor
1538so it's a moot point overall
1539ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1540i think this is a bad analogy for you
1541ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1542because even if the doctor accidentally steps on the heart
1543ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1544even if the doctor has shaky hands
1545ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1546the doctor has training...
1547ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1548like even if the doctor is out of practice, out of work, has malpractice suits, idk fucking put a pipe bomb in somene's chest cavity on purpose
1549ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1550you have a chance of survival
1551Noodle Emperor
1552I think it's a really good analogy, because many people are going to press for a third option, which is exactly what's happening re: the election
1553ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1554with the other guy, joe schmoe, you and me
1555ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1556you have zero chance of survival
1557ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1558like if you handed me a scalpel and said go at it
1559ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1560you'd die
1561Noodle Emperor
1562...I am not choosing the doctor who put a pipe bomb into a patient. I'll take my chances with the guy who can read up on it first. At least it'll be an accident if I die.
1563Murder Duck
1564shame the two most popular 'third options' make me roll my eyes out of my skull and all the way to the moon
1565Noodle Emperor
1566Though mind you, I'm leaning toward the 'third' choice, which is a doctor who isn't as renowned but doesn't have a malpractice suit either
1567Noodle Emperor
1568Understandable. I'm not a big fan of the top third options either.
1569Noodle Emperor
1570Castle is the one I'm looking at
1571seaking
1572and is gonna get elbowed out of the way by one of the other two
1573ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1574yeah i also can't get on board with johnson or stein
1575ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1576anyway
1577ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1578you're assuming that the other doctor WOULDN't put a pipe bomb in your chest either
1579ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1580i mean the other guy* he is not a doctor
1581Noodle Emperor
1582He doesn't have a history of it, so I feel safer about it, y'know?
1583seaking
1584if you want to really make this analogy, you are in a locked room in antarctica during a blizzard
1585seaking
1586the "third option" is still in america and will never get through that blizzard in time, since it won't let up for weeks
1587Noodle Emperor
1588Similar to retail. Two dudes, one has a history of stealing from the company, the other its their first job. Which one is more likely to steal?
1589Noodle Emperor
1590That's a pretty fair way of framing it
1591seaking
1592you have a trained doctor with a malpractice suit on one end, and the actual burger king on the other
1593ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1594this is a wrong analogy because you're comparing apples to oranges
1595ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1596it should be
1597Noodle Emperor
1598And seriously. I'm not arguing which is right, because there isn't a correct answer. It's legitimately down to which one you trust more.
1599ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1600"two dudes, one that has a history of stealing, and one where it's their first job, who do you think would do a better job"
1601ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1602not who do you think will steal
1603ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1604that makes no sense
1605seaking
1606there is exactly one thing you can trust about trump, and it's that he is out for what's best for trump and no one else
1607Noodle Emperor
1608Well, that was in response to "The other guy might put a bomb in you too"
1609Noodle Emperor
1610That's a straight up lie.
1611seaking
1612imagine he already has a bomb in his hands though
1613Noodle Emperor
1614I mean, yes, I'm sure he's out for himself, but he's done plenty of selfless things too. He's not inhuman.
1615seaking
1616because like, that seems fitting to the analogy
1617seaking
1618that bomb is going in you
1619ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1620wait
1621ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1622can i get a source on the selfless things
1623ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1624for real this time
1625Noodle Emperor
1626Sure
1627Noodle Emperor
1628Just a moment, I'll dig em up

1642https://archive.is/XA3qk Trump dismantles racism in Palm Beach
1643ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1644but he's also lied about his charitable donations
1645Noodle Emperor
1646I can stop if you like, though there's plenty more.
1647ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1648including money he promised for 9/11
1649Noodle Emperor
1650Man, I ain't calling him a saint. I'm saying he's definitely not only out or himself. He is genuinely selfless and does really, really good deeds at times too.
1651geѕтalт°
1652he also tried to take credit for someone else's donations to children with AIDs
1653Noodle Emperor
1654Not even a 'compared to Clinton' thing
1655Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1656"look at all these nice things trump did bc they totally excuse his disgusting misogynistic behavior" yeah no
1657Noodle Emperor
1658just refuting the statement that he's totally out for just himself
1659Noodle Emperor
1660That's not relevant to my point?
1661ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1662" Mr. Trump then approached the town council about lifting the restrictions that had been placed on the club."
1663ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1664so
1665Noodle Emperor
1666I can go for pro feminist behavior if you want, but I was dealing with his generosity/kindness compared to the blanket statement that he's a snake
1667ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1668he approached them about lifting restrictions on... his own... club?
1669seaking
1670that doesn't really refute it though?
1671seaking
1672it just means that, like most rich dudes, he makes nice gestures every now and then to look like less of a scumbag
1673Noodle Emperor
1674A lot of his gestures aren't highly public though?
1675Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1676lmfao where do you get your news from. cosmo?
1677Noodle Emperor
1678Like the dude that he paid the mortgage for because he helped change his tire
1679seaking
1680if they aren't "highly public" then how are you sharing them now
1681ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1682wait i'm still having trouble with this mar a lago thing
1683Noodle Emperor
1684Because they got out to the news anyway
1685Murder Duck
1686I mean my dad has black friends, who he's done nice things for. He also has said he doesn't want me or my sisters to marry a black person. So. Y'know.
1687ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1688it looks like the only thing he really did was let jewish people and black people attend his club ??
1689Noodle Emperor
1690He didn't jump out onto TV like "HEY LOOK WHAT I DID" people involved said things
1691seaking
1692they "got out to the news"
1693seaking
1694just somehow
1695ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1696ok fine let's walk back the statemet that
1697Noodle Emperor
1698He also sent out 'Guess who's coming to dinner' to the people involved in blocking jewish and black people from going to the clubs and such
1699ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1700trump is literally the devil and has only done terrible things
1701ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1702he's done some nice things
1703ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1704he's done a lot of really not nice things
1705Noodle Emperor
1706...really, man
1707seaking
1708like how do you not know that the people involved who said things weren't people paid to say things?
1709ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1710and can we please remove the mar a lago thing as a "good thing" about trump regarding racism
1711ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1712letting a race and a religious group pay to attend your club is not an act of kindless
1713ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1714kindness*
1715ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1716and shouldn't be treated as such
1717ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1718that's dangerous
1719ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1720it's like saying racism is over because we have a black president
1721Noodle Emperor
1722I realize that it's no selfless in that case. However, the people who COULDN'T attend clubs likely appreciated having one that they could
1723Noodle Emperor
1724And doesn't invalidate the other things linked
1725ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1726you did the bare bones to be not racist, you don't get a trophy for that
1727Noodle Emperor
1728I meant to include (if I didn't) that it wasn't a selfless act in that case
1729ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1730no but again i'm not arguing that trump has literally never done a nice thing
1731ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1732yeah but you kind of stuck it into an argument about donald trump being a nice guy like
1733ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1734idk
1735ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1736i guess? if the bar is so low that we're counting basic decency
1737Noodle Emperor
1738I dunno, under the circumstances of it, it counts. Just because the people around weren't even exercising that.
1739Noodle Emperor
1740But that said
1741ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1742ok
1743Noodle Emperor
1744No point in continuing it, since we've established that he can indeed be a nice dude
1745Noodle Emperor
1746Whether he's always nice wasn't my point.
1747seaking
1748the idea that he's mostly out for himself doesn't rule out the possibility of him ever having done a nice thing, either
1749ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1750nope, go back
1751Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1752sure and fox news is a reliable news source too
1753ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1754if you're going to continue pretending like it counts as a NICE thing to ALLOW black people in your club
1755Noodle Emperor
1756...what
1757ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1758Noodle Emperor
1759I dunno, under the circumstances of it, it counts
1760ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1761this does NOT count
1762Noodle Emperor
1763...okay then. I already discounted it because he got benefit out of it anyway
1764Noodle Emperor
1765It was something I was on the fence about including
1766Noodle Emperor
1767(Like Trump jumping out to scare off the mugger. There's multiple accounts that he did, and ones that he didn't, so bringing it into the situation is pointless)
1768seaking
1769even beyond that, the problem is you took a thing i said and blew it out to hyperbolic proportions ("it isn't like he's inhuman!"), so that you could prove it wrong by producing one nice thing he did
1770Noodle Emperor
1771But you STARTED with a hyperbole
1772seaking
1773he has done nice things, but that doesn't really refute what i said
1774Noodle Emperor
1775He does things for other people too. Is he chiefly out for his own gain? Totally a possibility despite how much he's been smeared and attacked for this, but that doesn't negate
1776Noodle Emperor
1777that he'd also be out for other people's good as well.
1778hanamaru.
1779> wow this plurk is long i wonder what it's--
1780hanamaru.
1781
1782Noodle Emperor
1783because he does indeed help others
1784hanamaru.
1785oh.
1786seaking
1787i didn't? not as extreme as you're talking
1788Noodle Emperor
1789Oh, well that's the impression I got
1790Noodle Emperor
1791I apologize if that's not what you meant
1792seaking
1793the main point is, without any hyperbole, is that he's more interested in what's best for trump than what's best for america
1794seaking
1795like he's had former campaign managers testify to that
1796Noodle Emperor
1797I know there's a lot of people out there who think Trump is an amazing and good dude, but I'm only interested in arguing against wrong or extreme portrayal of negativity
1798Noodle Emperor
1799not trying to argue that he is a super good dude. He's a billionare. The man is not a religious figure of goodness.
1800seaking
1801you're not really doing that though
1802ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1803no, they are doing that, they're just kind of attacking a strawman of it
1804Noodle Emperor
1805To be fair, Hillary is also out for herself (and probably certain others), not America. That doesn't really decide who you should vote for unless you firmly believe one or the other IS being selfless.
1806ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1807like they managed to prove earlier that trump is not literally hitler
1808ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1809and that he isn't a cartoon villain

1814ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1815like, nboody said trump was literally hitler or a cartoon villain though
1816Noodle Emperor
1817(Well, they did and do, just not in this plurk specifically.)
1818seaking
1819i mean you're calling him "genuinely selfless" as if that's a defining quality of the man, rather than an occasional one when it suits his purposes
1820Noodle Emperor
1821Oh, yeah, I realized that was a way that could come off like that
1822Noodle Emperor
1823but I was hoping the 'at times' was the qualifier
1824ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1825also i'm going to bed because it's late but i think it's very clear from clinton's record of public service that she is chiefly concerned with healthcare and with children
1826ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1827so...
1828Noodle Emperor
1829In that he can be genuinely selfless. Not that he is at all times
1830Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1831"at times" doesn't 100% excuse a person's shitty behavior
1832seaking
1833and many of the "refutations" you've given throughout this plurk haven't been actually discussing what someone is saying about trump, but digging out some case where you think hilary's been worse
1834ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1835^and again, refuting strawmen of people's ideas of trump that you've even admitted that aren't being discussed in this plurk
1836seaking
1837and most of them have been cases of calling out the speck when others are discussing a plank
1838Noodle Emperor
1839Er...well sometimes but not always? And in a A vs B situation, it is relevant if "I'm not voting for B because they did x" if A did it worse.
1840Noodle Emperor
1841an*
1842ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1843but when have you actually proven that hillary was worse in any of these cases
1844seaking
1845well, usually the things being said about b are worse than the things you're bringing up about a
1846Noodle Emperor
1847To be fair, I'm not often bringing up vs Hillary so I can't remember what I didn't source regarding that.
1848Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1849no matter how much u try to argue hilary is the Literal Devil, i'm still not voting for donald "grab 'em by the pussy" trump
1850Noodle Emperor
1851Oh, the Russia thing, right?
1852seaking
1853you have though?
1854Noodle Emperor
1855You can vote for literally whoever you want to
1856Noodle Emperor
1857I never intended to convince anyone to change their vote
1858seaking
1859the russia thing, trying to brush off all the talk of trump's sexual assaults with the case hillary took as a public defender
1860ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1861whoa there
1862Noodle Emperor
1863My primary concern is clearing up some of the worst thoughts about Trump partly because I'm tired of seeing them, and partly because
1864ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1865Noodle Emperor
1866To be fair, Hillary is also out for herself (and probably certain others), not America.
1867Noodle Emperor
1868should he win, it seems like it's better to ensure people aren't super distraught about it?
1869ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1870seaking: to be absolutely fair i'm not sure who brought up hillary's past as a public defender
1871ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1872i think i missed that part
1873ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1874but i think they said they didn't
1875Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1876then what ARE you doing other than yelling about what a great, kind, selfless guy trump is who is absolutely 100% looking out for america and most definitely not himself
1877Noodle Emperor
1878I don't remember who brought it up
1879seaking
1880okay that's a fair point, now that you mention it
1881Noodle Emperor
1882it was a quick discussion
1883Noodle Emperor
1884That's not what I'm saying though.
1885seaking
1886that one did seem to just pop up out of nowhere
1887ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1888i think maybe i have blocked whoever did bring it up
1889ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1890because i do remember it just started out of left field
1891ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
1892anyway... i'm going to bed so... night guys,!
1893Noodle Emperor
1894goodnight!
1895Noodle Emperor
1896But seriously, aside from just arguing points I've ignored all year about it, my chief concern is just to...help prevent people from getting too anxious about the election?
1897seaking
1898i don't think you've really achieved that though
1899Noodle Emperor
1900No matter who wins, and as much as I extremely dislike Hillary, neither one is as devilish and capable of destruction as the opposing party says
1901Noodle Emperor
1902Well, I'm trying.
1903seaking
1904you pretty much just burst in guns blazing and started picking fights
1905Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1906if anything you've only made it worse
1907Noodle Emperor
1908Oh, well, I did burst in initially because irritation and such
1909Noodle Emperor
1910but today it was primarily the "stop fear-mongering it's not going to be that bad" intent
1911seaking
1912no one said anything in response because xy asked everyone not to start a fight here, but it really feels like you kind of didn't read the room and just saw people being "wrong" on the internet
1913Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1914so tbqh i don't know what you're hoping to accomplish through "educating" us about your viewpoint. we're not voting trump. that won't change.
1915Noodle Emperor
1916As I said, I'm not trying to convince you to change. I'd be surprised if you did.
1917Noodle Emperor
1918(Politics is so very, very charged that basically never happens)
1919seaking
1920you're making people feel more talked down to than assured about the future
1921Noodle Emperor
1922Well I certainly apologize for that tone.
1923Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1924well you ARE trying real hard. super hard. in a medium where almost literally no one likes trump or anyone from team r
1925Noodle Emperor
1926If it's any help, I argue with myself also not to worry should Hillary win because she's not going to get to do much that she wants to do, either.
1927Noodle Emperor
1928It's not an attempt to change votes, just to clear up "Yeah this is biased/a misconception, and it's probably not going to matter much"
1929Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1930that's... nice....? i guess? good for you?
1931seaking
1932it's an anti-trump plurk, of course it's going to be biased
1933seaking
1934i'm pretty okay with being biased against the dude
1935seaking
1936he gives plenty of reason to be
1937Noodle Emperor
1938Yeah, I know. But it's like I said? The worrying.
1939Noodle Emperor
1940If it were just the biased nature I'd have just argued early on when I was already irritable and ignored it from then on because obviously I'm not going to change any mind.
1941Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1942if it's just general worrying, i'm pretty sure you have your own plurk for that kind of thing? if you're looking for someone to validate them, uh.
1943Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1944you're...... kind of...... in the wrong place..............
1945Noodle Emperor
1946I mean...yes, I can do that? I have done that. I just kind of...
1947baeyonetta.
1948i don't really understand what you're trying to argue here, exactly
1949Noodle Emperor
1950I really don't see the issue?
1951seaking
1952people are going to be worried until friday, anyway, and nothing you're saying here is going to douse those flames so much as fan them
1953baeyonetta.
1954it's a stupid place to put your "well trump isn't so bad bc he did this one decent thing in a slew of shitty things" sentiment
1955Noodle Emperor
1956Friday? Isn't it tuesday?
1957baeyonetta.
1958nobody cares and nobody wants to hear it
1959baeyonetta. is

1962i don't know what i was thinking, i mean next wednesday
1963Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
1964if you're looking to put out a fire, adding oil isn't the solution
1965Noodle Emperor
1966Hey man, you can't really say "Yeah, everyone's anti, so don't say anything contrary to that here"
1967seaking
1968but we kind of are?
1969baeyonetta.
1970but literally nobody cares
1971seaking
1972it's a definite "read the room" situation
1973baeyonetta.
1974you're not going to change anyone's opinion here
1975Noodle Emperor
1976I realize argument is going to happen, and that doesn't bother me. No one's gotten nasty about it?
1977baeyonetta.
1978right
1979Noodle Emperor
1980Yeah, sorry. I just don't adhere to that belief. I don't always just speak up if I disagree with a group of people, but I won't just refuse to do it either.
1981baeyonetta.
1982why start it? why is expressing this opinion in this place so important to you?
1983Noodle Emperor
1984It's really not?
1985Noodle Emperor
1986I mean, the overall concept is important, sure
1987ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
1988this is not the hill to die on, dude
1989baeyonetta.
1990then why are you doing it?
1991baeyonetta.
1992if it's not important why mention it dude
1993Noodle Emperor
1994but not in this thread itself
1995Noodle Emperor
1996Because it IS important, it's just like...at the same time I'm not going "EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD MUST BELIEVE ME"
1997baeyonetta.
1998jesus christ lmao
1999baeyonetta.
2000it's not though
2001Noodle Emperor
2002and also I just don't see arguing as an innately negative or hostile thing?
2003baeyonetta.
2004it doesn't negate him being a horrible person
2005baeyonetta.
2006it's not important at all, whatsoever
2007Noodle Emperor
2008We disagree on that matter
2009Noodle Emperor
2010I think it's important people not be too worried about the election because it's been SO pitched this year.
2011Noodle Emperor
2012Neither opinion on the matter is correct, that's just how I feel and so that's why I responded.
2013Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
2014sure, but i'm still not going to walk into a cubs game arguing the cardinals or the yankees are totes awesome and the cubs suck.
2015seaking
2016but you starting an argument about it isn't going to make it less pitched or people less worried
2017Noodle Emperor
2018I feel like Plurk is more of a neutral ground though? I'm not going to the Hillary reddit and arguing it.
2019baeyonetta.
2020and it's also really dismissive to say that people shouldn't be worried
2021Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
2022likewise i'm not going to walk into a sox game and put up a lecture detailing the history of every yankees win ever
2023seaking
2024plurk in general? maybe!
2025baeyonetta.
2026literally this plurk is an anti trump plurk though
2027Noodle Emperor
2028The ideal was that perhaps people could be convinced, not to change their vote, but that Trump isn't gonna put a bomb in their chest.
2029seaking
2030this plurk in particular, nah
2031baeyonetta.
2032there's no neutrality at all
2033baeyonetta.
2034in this particular plurk
2035baeyonetta.
2036nobody thinks that trump is going to put a bomb in their chest; they are concerned about the wide reaching ramifications of his possible presidency, which is a valid concern and one that anyone
2037seaking
2038no one thinks trump is going to literally put a bomb in their chest
2039baeyonetta.
2040who has ever voted in any election has had
2041Noodle Emperor
2042I know, I know. I'm just referencing that analogy.
2043seaking
2044but in the terms of that weak metaphor, i would consider trump more likely to put a bomb in a person's chest
2045Noodle Emperor
2046In terms of that metaphor, my argument is that there's a slew of nurses nearby and no matter who operates on you, they're not going to let the person put a bomb in you.
2047seaking
2048that person i guess being metaphorically america
2049Noodle Emperor
2050Right
2051MAGEARNA
2052forget metaphors metaphors
2053seaking
2054well trump also uses a lot of fascist rhetoric, so him gunning down the nurses first is not a concern that hasn't crossed people's minds
2055Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
2056that wasn't the point of that metaphor? like at all? again, no one is saying trump's going to literally plant explosives in all of us
2057MAGEARNA
2058clinton wants rigged elections TPP and war in syria, trump is an absolute shitheel raping racist fuck, killer meteor for president
2059seaking
2060the whole rigged elections concern reeks of fascist concerns tbh
2061Noodle Emperor
2062Neither one of them is going to get most of what they want, therefore, you're probably going to be fine no matter what. One may be better at it than the other, but in the end you'll survive
2063baeyonetta.
2064so like, what's your end goal here exactly. do you not think there's anything especially worrying about a white supremacist group endorsing a potential president
2065seaking
2066like "we cannot trust the ballots or accept the outcome, if we lose it's time to get our guns ready"
2067Noodle Emperor
2068Not at all, considering they're not stupid enough to think "Oh, yeah, the population of the country LOVES us! If we want our way, let's endorse our favorite candidate!"
2069seaking
2070that's not a minor worry!
2071MAGEARNA
2072ok but the democratic primary was rigged to hell
2073Noodle Emperor
2074Controversial figures endorsing candidates don't mean much, because they often do that
2075MAGEARNA
2076that's not a minor worry either

2088That's not what people say though.
2089Greedbaby
2090yeah, sorry, no
2091Greedbaby
2092as a queer person, I'm absolutely concerned about them planting a metaphorical bomb in my chest
2093MAGEARNA
2094let's ignore the voter registration scrubs, federal financing violations, caucus state victories, open primary victories, consistently superior polling, massive exit polling discrepancy
2095seaking
2096like do you really think that the kkk has the self-awareness to think that their endorsement is going to kill someone's candidacy
2097MAGEARNA
2098ur right it was totally legit there's not even emails sayin the DNC favored hillary
2099Noodle Emperor
2100Yes, I really do. Being racist psychopaths doesn't make them stupid.

2119Noodle Emperor
2120So the Nazis were super stupid, huh?
2121Exacerangutan
2122oh good is it already time to field the "don't worry nothing really bad could ever actually happen" argument for why Trump is really totally OK...?

2124yeah kinda
2125Noodle Emperor
2126You can't just discount hyper racists as stupid. They can be evil and smart.

2128the kkk is also an organization, like any org it has heads, who are required to finance and organize and do lots of things that intelligent people need to do
2129geѕтalт°

2138is there a more appropriate group to compare to Nazis?
2139Exacerangutan
2140...they functionally declared war on literally everyone, and anyone who thought they didn't wasn't paying attention to their message, so, yeah the Nazis were pretty stupid.
2141Greedbaby
2142So
2143MAGEARNA
2144yes

2146especially in the context of 'psychopathic, organized, racist'

2148okay like
2149Greedbaby
2150Are you trying to tell me that the KKK don't actually support Trump?

2153Exacerangutan
2154We can talk about how stupid they were in practical engineering and strategy and other areas, too, if you like, but
2155Greedbaby
2156that's kind of what it's starting to sound like

2218it makes it more official

2238endorsement implies at least partial approval - endorsement of any party unless it is accepted does not reflect on the party being endorsed. there are definitely criminals who endorse both candidates
2239Noodle Emperor
2240It means the group made an official statement that they support him, knowing exactly how people would respond to that
2241Exacerangutan
2242It sounds like iran's support for Bush Jr was essentially "well he talks big but he's actually been totally ineffective at doing anything annoying to us at all."

2262do you think the kk would somehow prefer to have hilary as president

2282I'm not calling the KKK super geniuses, I'm saying for them to do what you're saying is underestimating them and personally I feel it's dangerous to do that.
2283MAGEARNA
2284ok not that i endorse trump but you could use that argument for literally anything
2285Exacerangutan
2286People's confidence that bad things can't really be happening is easy to harness without a lot of actual competence.
2287Noodle Emperor
2288Also, I don't think Trump's gone and accepted the endorsement either, right?
2289MAGEARNA
2290a lot of people voted for hillary cuz they didn't believe she supported TPP, a lot of people voted for the iraq war cuz they thought it could be won, and so on
2291MAGEARNA
2292of course he hasn't

2294accepting the endorsement would be political suicide, of course he wouldn't do that
2295Noodle Emperor
2296The KKK are pretty private, right? If they wanted to endorse him, why not do it secretly?
2297Exacerangutan
2298I know back in March he refused to reject it until he'd been coached, and then made up a bullshit story about how he couldn't hear the interviewer.

2749Noodle Emperor
2750Dude, yes, there's been some civil comments about it, but there's also been much rudeness about it. Why would you think being rude = getting people to listen?
2751Noodle Emperor
2752and then I was informed that what I thought was previously civil was also just someone being rude.
2753ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜

2770Greedbaby
2771Sigh. Listen. Buddy. Whatever you thought you would accomplish by first coming into this plurk- it's not working. You're failing. Whether you meant to or not, all you are doing is starting fights.
2772Noodle Emperor
2773You know, the actual plurk creator talked with me on the matter? They could have told me to just leave instead?
2774seaking
2775she went to bed
2776Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
2777they... kind of did?

2779to disengage from the conversation
2780Noodle Emperor
2781They went to bed to...go to bed...
2782Exacerangutan
2783I think I need to admit that this is just too much, and hand it over to the rest of you
2784Exacerangutan
2785good luck
2786seaking
2787i mean she started out from your original response asking people not to reply so it wouldn't start a fight?
2788Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
2789are you really this bad about reading between the lines
2790seaking
2791how does that tell you "this is a good place to continue talking"
2792Noodle Emperor
2793Because I expect people to be adults, and just ask me to do something if they want me to do it. I didn't pursue any arguments when they were like "Hey don't respond to them"
2794seaking
2795but you came in at that time looking for a fight
2796Greedbaby
2797People are trying to be adults
2798Greedbaby
2799right now
2800seaking
2801like every comment you made was combative
2802Êá´‡á´É´Êœá´
2803like the many many times you were asked to leave bc this isn't the hill u prob wanna die on. ok then.
2804Greedbaby
2805by telling you to just disengage
2806Greedbaby
2807because it's doing literally no one favors
2808Greedbaby
2809but you're refusing to listen because.... people.... are being rude to you....
2810Noodle Emperor
2811If she'd come over to me and been like "Hey, you know, could you not?" or any form of that, that would be a thing.
2812seaking
2813i think the person refusing to leave because they aren't welcome in a place is the one whose adulthood is dubious
2814Noodle Emperor
2815Random people in the plurk are not going to count the same.

2830seaking
2831how does "don't engage with them" not express the idea that it would be better if you leave
2832Noodle Emperor
2833They continued to converse though? It was clearly a "I don't want this to devolve into a fight"
2834seaking
2835they conversed with each other
2836ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2837implying your presence and opinion would start a fight
2838Noodle Emperor
2839ie "this is controversial and I don't want everyone to derail this into a bunch of fighting"

2841....when you, as you admitted, came into the plurk looking for a fight?
2842ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2843ergo, 'this is not a welcome thing in this space'
2844Noodle Emperor

2847So?
2848ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2849that's not
2850Noodle Emperor
2851And then I left the plurk alone until such a point when I was NOT looking for a fight.
2852Greedbaby
2853Okay, Noodle, simple yes/no question:
2854ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2855why the fuck would you come into a civil conversation looking for a fight
2856ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2857what's wrong with you
2858Greedbaby
2859Are you feeling happy and/or accomplished continuing this conversation?
2860seaking
2861it's more like "no one acknowledge that happened, because doing so will only result in a fight"
2862ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2863yes seaking that's more what i was going for, thanks
2864Noodle Emperor
2865Greedbaby Frankly I was feeling pretty decent having communicated with people without it turning into a fight
2866Noodle Emperor
2867Even though we vastly disagreed
2868Greedbaby
2869Yes/No question
2870Greedbaby
2871Yes or no
2872Greedbaby
2873One word.
2874Noodle Emperor
2875and pretty much had come to a compromise
2876seaking
2877because most anti-trump people don;t really trust trump supporters not to start a fight when directly engaged
2878Noodle Emperor
2879I am not a robot, sorry.
2880ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2881oh my fucking god
2882seaking
2883especially when the plurk had become "ways trump supporters are trying to start fights outside polling places"
2884Noodle Emperor
2885I'm not a Trump supporter, but I understand that wasn't necessarily clear to start with.
2886Greedbaby
2887You don't have to be a robot to answer a yes/no question, my dude
2888Noodle Emperor
2889That said, I appreciate people just being straight and clear. Having been told civilly not to continue by the one who made the plurk, I would have.
2890Noodle Emperor
2891I do apologize if that did happen at some point in the convo and I missed it
2892ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2893instead you got told exactly that by upwards of five people
2894ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2895and continued to shove your foot in your mouth
2896Noodle Emperor
2897But I'm not going to listen to a random person asking me to leave, because I could say the same? Are you going to?
2898ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2899i don't know how much more clear you really need it
2900geѕтalт°
2901the OP of the plurk did tell you to leave, they just didn't use those exact words
2902geѕтalт°
2903if you need to be told things in absolutely literal terms, I don't know what to tell you
2904Noodle Emperor
2905They...didn't. And if that's what they meant I didn't realize that.
2906ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2907iunno, is everyone in this plurk telling me to disengage and walk away
2908geѕтalт°
2909it is what they meant
2910ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2911'cause i gotta tell you i'm not the one getting that message right now
2912Noodle Emperor
2913I mean are you them? Like I said.
2914geѕтalт°
2915...no, but I know how to read meaning in words

2921words mean things
2922Noodle Emperor
2923I will apologize if I've distressed them or misunderstood them. The implication I got was that fighting wasn't welcome but the opinion didn't matter
2924ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2925intent is relevant
2926Noodle Emperor
2927Dude, I'm not arguing about what the OP said.
2928Noodle Emperor
2929It feels very pretentious
2930ÐºÎ¹â„“â„“Ñ”Ñ qυєєη â˜
2931you were tossing around an opinion tailor-made to start a fight and confessed to wanting to start a fight
2932Greedbaby
2933Okay, everyone- i mean, everyone besides Noodle- it's obvious that this conversation is going nowhere
2934Greedbaby
2935So I think what the mature thing to do at this point is just going to block Noodle
2936Noodle Emperor
2937Yes, and I stopped doing that.
2938Greedbaby
2939because this plurk is starting to hit 1500 and holy shit

2944geѕтalт°
2945same here, I'm sorry to have had a part in it
2946seaking
2947i'm definitely going to disengage myself because this is going in circles and jesus it went bad
2948seaking
2949apologies all around
2950Noodle Emperor
2951I apologize for any fighting, as well.
2952Noodle Emperor
2953For what that is worth, aside from a brief and initial venture days(? what is time?) ago, it wasn't actually my intent.
2954Noodle Emperor
2955and certainly may have been riled up, but it was indeed my intent - upon returning later - to be nothing but civil and attempt to assuage fears, not pick fights or change anyone.
2956Noodle Emperor
2957Also to the OP, I do apologize for messing up the plurk. Aside from an initially rash urge, it wasn't my intention.
2958Murder Duck
2959also Castle is totally cray /mutes
2960Noodle Emperor
2961rude sir
2962koâ™ix
2963Noodle Emperor: back up, did you say the man who ignored the AIDS crisis leading to a fuck epidemic was a good president?
2964Noodle Emperor
2965Why are you picking a fight with me again...?
2966Noodle Emperor
2967I'm not going to fight you about Reagan in a plurk about Trump.
2968koâ™ix
2969All I see from Noodle is whining that they wanted to pick a fight and got it and OH NOES PEOPLE BEING MEAN TO ME BECAUSE I WANTED A FIGHT
2970koâ™ix
2971That question wasn't picking a fight, it was asking if you were serious.
2972koâ™ix
2973There is a very strong factor of PR when it comes to Reagan that doesn't hold water when looked at at all, and his presidency is what kinda started the GOP PR that we have to deal with today
2974koâ™ix
2975But if Reagan is how you judge, that explains a lot
2976koâ™ix
2977(also, as many people have said - we aren't going to be calm about the possibility of Trump being president, not because he'd Literally Satan, but because for most of us personally what he has said is a
2978koâ™ix
2979threat. Not to mention the whole SCotUS thing, since the next president will be appointing people, if congress would do their damned job)
2980koâ™ix
2981Republicans have proven with Trump that even if they don't like him and don't want him, they will bow to party line. That's what makes this dangerous. Trump's "just saying it like i think it" speech has also
2982koâ™ix
2983legitimized a lot of very racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, islamphobic, xenophobic thoughts. Yes people already had them, but he is really helping to make them OK to say and act on
2984koâ™ix
2985That is a thing that is frightening and should be frightening. No amount of "don't worry he probably can't become dictator" is going to make that a less legitimate fear.
2986seaking
2987okay but also, after all that work to finally put it to rest, can we not start that fight again
2988koâ™ix
2989Ok
2990ɢʀᴀᴛʀá´á´„ÊŸá´œs
