Well, because your statement is unsubstantiated bullshit and you're derping it up, frankly. As a product of LAUSD (i.e. public LA schooling) K-12 myself, I can say unequivocally that Dem politicians have been the least of the inner city's problems. You can't fix parenting at the federal or state level, it's a "hyper local" issue. Takes a village of really good, empathetic non-poiticians to raise well adjusted members of society.
Glad to see they were the worst of your problem, besides your shitty parenting.

Her main flaw implies there are more flaws. That is far closer to reality than what he originally said which is that others see flaws, but he does not.

Ill give you an example of one of her flaws. She is worried about her image, which is perfectly rational. The flaw is that because of her concern, she does excessive things to hold back as much information as possible. The reason she had a personal server is the same reason others, on both sides had personal servers, which is to control information. She has a habit of playing everything as close to the vest.

Another issue was how she reacted to the TPP. I am for free trade, but no everyone is. So when TPP went from being unknown to unpopular she shifted her stance but would not admit to it. The same thing with NAFTA, where she supported it up until 2008 where she changed her mind.

None of those issues make her worse than Trump, but I at least can admit she has flaws.


For fuck sakes, you literally just gave examples of exactly what I was talking about.

Except you said others see those as flaws, but not you. What flaws do you think she has, not what flaws do you think others believe she has.

It is in this context, ie why she lost where obama won, but fair point that you've never been accused of grasping context.



Nor passable reading comprehension.

Says a lot about how you view those on the left. So stupid as to not vote for Hillary to stop Trump because her singular flaw of not being Obama.

I wouldn't say all those uneducated whites preferring the Trump bandwagon are leftists. Should be a category you're intimately familiar with so no excuse for ignorance.

Hillary struck people the wrong way because she was a neopotism hire, which is actually a common complaint about feminism: that it is just another extension of white female privilege. Sarah Palin who is also a rather hot white female started from nothing, like, she ran for school board and local mayorship on her own. She didn't follow the trail blazed by her husband but blazed it herself and brought him along.

But yeah, generally the knock against second wave feminism is that they are very Marie Antoinette.

Are you seriously proposing Palin's appeal to sexually repressed men as a win for women? And is female privilege sort of like black privilege where they get all that AA and welfare?

He's just treating Hillary like a pinata, hitting her with whatever comes to hand.

Yes, the one that invited the segregationists and have the gall to pretend to the party of lincoln. Thanks for highlighting their zero integrity again, I'm sure your conservative buddies here love that trope.
No, no, no. The Republicans are the party of Lincoln. They'll kill to keep their hold of the South.

I do wonder if you realize how you never answer questions, or if you truly think you are.

Clearly I see those flaws as I pointed them out, just because I don't care about those flaws doesn't mean they aren't flaws. It's a nuanced position that you seem incapable of understanding.

I kinda liked 00f when he first showed up, must have been a ploy at first.

The reason the left hates Trump is still that he has always been a despicable con man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

That and he is annoying to even look at.

There's a reason why you have a reputation for never understanding anything anyone ever explained. This situation can't be any more simple. ivwshane doesn't disagree that these supposed flaws are how folks like yourself rationalize their opinions, he just disagrees they're valid metrics for the job. Sort of like kids in school electing someone because they're "cool"/"uncool"; an adult might have differing ideas of what the kids base their decision upon. To be clear, this explanation is not meant for you given that would be a prime example of exercise in futility.

Seems clear that similar to trump, your opinion of people is entirely predicated on what nice/unkind things they might've said about you(r situation). I recalls yours in this case hinged on my opinions of the military's function as employer of last sort.

What are you on about? Agent's a pretty good guy. Sure, he sets on the forum's dim righties like a roided up rottweiler, but that's him playing them at their own game.

I actually don't think I've disagreed with him, on any of the usual moral subjects. War? Socialism? The poor? The rich? Politicians? Rapists? etc. Can't say I found anything to take issue with.
