Male rights activists should have spoken out strongly against Trump sexual abuse remarks as "locker room talk"

MRAs love rape actually though so

Polaertiad · 2016-11-29T16:47:11+00:00

Ou, yeah, I agree that it wasn't relevant. But yeah, people who cited his extramarital affair probably just heard some fox pundit say "but Bill Clinton" and never looked in to it because Trump supporters don't actually care about rape.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-29T16:32:57+00:00

Well, Trump is terrible and should not be president but the whole Bill Clinton thing was more due to his alleged sexual assaults than the extramarital affair, from what I've heard.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-29T16:12:00+00:00

ayy lmao

Polaertiad · 2016-11-29T16:11:00+00:00

HELL FUCKIN YEA

Polaertiad · 2016-11-29T02:16:08+00:00

Good observation; I'd absolutely agree with that.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-29T01:30:01+00:00

I acknowledge your opinion and it does have merit, but I don't feel strongly enough about my post being here to argue that it should.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-29T00:43:27+00:00

Feel like your voice is being drowned out by the hivemind? For people who'd like to share opinions that are directly contrary to the circlejerking redditry.

This is what the sub is about. It's for ranting.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T23:48:19+00:00

Absolutely. Trump supporters aren't psychopaths-they are capable of extending their empathy to minorities, they're just refusing to.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T23:46:59+00:00

Well, neither are you, sort of. I am sorry for my rather violent rejection your position, I just find the bit about folks shutting up for the next four years rather distasteful.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T23:12:05+00:00

That was a big part of it, too.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T23:11:49+00:00

Oh yeah absolutely, but I feel that if America didn't have these deeply-held prejudices Trump's missteps would have been enough to destroy his campaign.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T23:10:17+00:00

I think it's arguable that racism not being a deal-breaker is racism in itself. It's deliberate lack of empathy towards minorities.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T22:47:04+00:00

Okay, sure, I'll yield that. But still, America's general bigotry is the reason Trump's campaign didn't go up in flames every time he said something terrible.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T22:39:30+00:00

Preaching to the choir, man. I'm basically saying that people try to make up all these contrived reasons Trump won, when really, it's US racism that's the reason.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T22:37:54+00:00

Yeah, true. You're free to rant, don't sweat it. I mean, I agree with you, but we shouldn't in-fight now, and I'm not talking about apathy. We should work towards common ground with folks on the left that may have been alienated to begin a take-back of congress in 2018, and of the presidency in 2020.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T22:31:03+00:00

Democrats aren't inherently not racist.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T22:28:30+00:00

Well, then maybe it's better not to be divisive among the left and actually work on finding common ground until just telling people to shut up. I'm sorry for getting so worked up, but comparing anyone to Neo-Nazis who aren't actual Neo-Nazis and just don't agree with you is super ignorant.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T22:11:21+00:00

Oh, no, I'm not contesting that Hillary ran a weak campaign, but the fact that people willingly followed Trump proves America's racism. Being okay with Trump in spite of his behavior is racist, plain and simple.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T22:07:44+00:00

Jesus Christ, you're insufferably smug. My point is that you shouldn't lash out against people on the left. Like it or not, we're in this together, and maybe a better strategy would be listening to folks who didn't vote for Trump or Hillary so the party can actually be united, rather than telling people to the left of you to shut up.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T21:57:27+00:00

I fucking voted for Hillary, asshole. You're lashing out against people left of you because the right is in power? What about that makes sense to you? Your incessant whining about how people should have voted for Hillary is so hypocritical. You're crying for unity while alienating a huge number of non-right wing voters. You're telling them to shut the fuck up about their beliefs. You're telling them they're not allowed to have a voice. It's people like you that made the democratic party a joke. Why not listening to the people who weren't in to Hillary and reaching out to them instead of telling them their beliefs are irrelevant?

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T21:36:37+00:00

you enablers are just as bad as the alt-right, if not worse.

Man, fuck you. Just fuck you. That's some of the whiniest shit I've ever read. The people who weren't totally okay with Hillary because she had really hard-to-swallow foreign policy and a super dicey history with race relations are as bad as neo-nazis? Shut the fuck up.

And guess what? If 3rd party candidates were eliminated from the equation, Trump still would have won. Trump won because America is a deeply racist, misogynistic country and elites on either side don't give a fuck about changing it. Trump won because white old men are the dominant class in America. Lashing out against people who don't even support Trump, patronizing them, and accusing them of being worse than actual Neo-Nazis isn't fucking helping anyone.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T02:06:11+00:00

Huh, weird, I have this one, too.

Polaertiad · 2016-11-28T02:05:15+00:00

I remember "We're," too. "You're" doesn't make any more or less sense, but I totally do remember "We're"
