***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Bernie handled that pretty well. I thought it was a fairly offensive question, at least the way it was phrased.

Im guessing da guy asked it like he was part of da jewish Gestapo or something heh...

Trump did keep it gully & told aipac he's keeping it straight neutral on Israel & Palestine. Thats a plus in my book.

That whole Zionist **** creeps me out, da more you drill down da more sinister da ploy gets. da fact that its a marriage of media & banks along with a biblical entitlement to a
Piece of land is hmmm...nefarious.

I dont anyone here is rockin with Neocon military nation building adventurism. Only thing da United States needs to look out for is its economic interest overseas, not fighting others people's wars(unless we're being HANDSOMELY paid for it)
 
Why anyone even entertains anything they say is puzzling. The ignore button is the only option with them.

People been arguing with them for YEARS and I don't understand. They not here to listen or even provide factual arguments. Folk literally just wasting their time going back and forth with them.

Smells more like anything you dont agree with you consider a microagression..

I cite everything i say w/ articles and i read everything opposing views post..you know why? Cuz to be da man u gotta beat da man.

Are we getting to da point on NT where vigorous intellectual debate takes a backseat to "waaahhh my fweelings?!?"

Whats next, college campus safe spaces? :lol
Jesus.

God forbid people are exposed to point of views they dont always agree with. :eek

Even da left is tired are tired of it...

And RIP da great George Carlin

Anywho...

Clinton leads among likely Democratic primary voters 56 percent to 38 percent in the survey. When the same poll was conducted in March, Sanders trailed the former New York senator in her home state by 48 points.
 
^ I've read that Chris Rock and Seinfeld refuse to do stand-up at colleges now just because of the crowds.

Patrice O'Neal, who I highly recommend to everyone here, would've loved bashing the current climate. I agree with a lot of his philosophy and I'm confident many here would be too (especially regarding race relations, the current racial "war", etc.).

RIP

Black folks that don't "trust the system" and don't plan on voting.

How often have you been hit with the, "People died for you to be able to vote" card?

Famb you're right. I may put him in his place in racial issues from time to time, because someone spewing ignorance on those subject need to be check. But political issues, especially economics, I'm out

-------------------Last night I asked him about Reagan deficits, and he gave that BS answer about inflation, that was my wake up call.

Because it would take me a day and numerous links just to explain Paul Volcker role in taming inflation, that tax cuts and increased spending can be inflationary too, explain monetarism, and point out that Reagan was running deficits long after inflation was gotten under control. Then point out he is hypocrite for giving Reagan a pass on deficit spending, while condemning Obama, and still deal with correcting him about Reagan's tax cuts.

Then at the same time dealing with his deflections and straw men arguments.

Just look at some the stuff that has happening since he has came back:

-Look at how many sources I post, how I broke down all his talking points about Trump. He still repeats it

-I and to correct him twice about the passing of the ACA. And I'm sure he'll repeat the lie down the road

-When he gets pressed all he has in anecdotal evidence, and doesn't back down when that is hot down.

-Famb as been hit with fact checking sites and keeping pushing with arguments. He has posted articles that contradict his on argument too :{ :lol

Ninja is many things, good and bad, but he is not an intellectual. Keeping up on political talking points doesn't make him that.

And worst of all he is a hypocrite that can't keep track of his deflections and straw men arguments to save his life. Even when present with hard evidence he is dismissive because it doesn't fit his previously held beliefs.

-And the safe space thing is laughable. One the same dudes crying about "PC culture" and "safe spaces" are the same ones twerking the report button, the same ones crying that NT is not welcoming of the ideology, the same ones that will pass top level racial ignorance of as innocuous observation, are the same ones that want to be known as"moderates/centrist/independent/whatever" and get upset if you point out their right wing leanings, and are the same ones that fold like cheap chairs when multiple dudes poke holes in their arguments.

Both are incapable of ever admitting when they're wrong. Add all of the ignorant dribble they spew on here; I can't be the only one here that thinks they deserve to be completely ignored.
 
Liberals really truly do hate free speech :lol They wish this was a "only liberals allowed" forum.

I don't think any of us have a problem with normal conservatives. I don't.

You're acting like you and and CL-1B are being ignored because you're conservatives. Wrong. It's because all 3 of you post blatant bigotry and ignorance. You don't need to be a bigot to be a conservative.

CL-1B was banned because he was essentially having a Klan rally on NT. That has nothing to do with him being a conservative.

Oh the irony.

You and CL repeatedly called my a foreigner in a derogatory manner repeatedly, and no one reported you, you called people other names (Lionblood), and one on reports you.

But when you get insulted, you twerk the report button with quickness

It is kinda hypocritical fro you to be taking this "liberals hate free speech" stance. When you want the thread cleaned up whenever someone comes at you sideways

I guess this means the real victims of racism sit quiet and dont say anything?

look at this bigot... sitting at the counter complaining and claiming he's being discriminated against

You're a habitual line stepper when it comes to posting borderline racist comments. You're not a full blown Klan member like CL-1B but you've made numerous comments that diminish the struggle of minorities, particularly black people. You've also shown you clearly can't grasp the concept of white supremacy, systemic racism, how it is applied in society and its effects.

If you spew ignorance and get called out for it, that is not an attack on your freedom of speech

If the way you conduct yourself in a discussion causes people to ignore you, that is not an attack on your freedom of speech

Because there is a broad ban in academic circles on “blaming the victim,” it is generally considered unacceptable to question the reasonableness (let alone the sincerity) of someone’s emotional state, particularly if those emotions are linked to one’s group identity. The thin argument “I’m offended” becomes an unbeatable trump card. This leads to what Jonathan Rauch, a contributing editor at this magazine, calls the “offendedness sweepstakes,” in which opposing parties use claims of offense as cudgels. In the process, the bar for what we consider unacceptable speech is lowered further and further.
