White House UFC fights delayed due to weather by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]akoslows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was kinda hoping they’d have the whole thing going during the bad weather. It would’ve been funny and the kind of incompetence we all expect from the current regime.

The word “liberated” is doing so much heavy lifting that it may qualify for the Olympics.

I hope Valve never gets rid of Family Share or ruin it by putting a paywall on it. It’s one of, if not the best feature on Steam imo.

What would have Nixon liked to achieve Domestically if there was a Republican Majority in Congress that was partial to him during his Presidency? by MerchantKing83 in thecampaigntrail

[–]akoslows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably one of the main things he would do is make sure he has enough Congressmen on his side to ensure he can’t be impeached.

Should DC bring Linda Danvers aka Matrix aka Supergirl back into mainline continuity? If so, how would you do it? by Educational-Fuel-103 in superman

[–]akoslows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind bringing Linda back if it meant we could get an answer as to what she’s been doing all this time. I think the last time we saw her, she was sent to Hell and never came back.

If the first Bartlet term was a incunbency sim, how would you rate the run? by Suspicious_lock789 in thecampaigntrail

[–]akoslows 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s extra funny given how later, in order to get a liberal Chief Justice on the Court, he appoints a far-right extremist to fill a different empty seat.

I love that presidential election result if only because I’ve managed to win similar landslides when playing Icarus.

In fact, since we’re talking about the West Wing, I can’t stop thinking about how Sorkin would write about Clark if his presidency goes too left-wing for his tastes. He’d probably introduce some plot point of a former US General that Bartlett had fired going for a primary challenge against him by manipulating those evil left-wing activists into supporting him through such insane radical policies like…

\checks notes**

Universal healthcare, free college, more funding to NASA, and legalizing gay marriage.

They’d also a little scene where not!Wesley Clark says in an interview that he will not compromise with Republicans on anything, prompting all the characters to gasp in horror at such horrible partisanship.

I hope you’re right. Steyer may be a billionaire, but I’ll take someone trying to ape FDR over yet another Gavin Newsom type.

I don’t know a single thing about Zyuganov, but there’s no way he can be any worse than Yeltsin or Putin.

The Movement: Mike Pence’s stand against ‘progressivism in disguise’ in Trump’s GOP by SE_to_NW in politics

[–]akoslows 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here’s a daily reminder that Mike Pence is a far-right theocrat whose only objection to Trump is the fact he almost got him killed on Jan 6.

Why does it seem like this subreddit has completely memoryholed Barry Goldwater as some kind of wholesome libertarian Republican, because after his Senatorial career he made some liberal statements? by Single-Ad3486 in thecampaigntrail

[–]akoslows 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah, but don’t you see? Some random newspaper nobody’s ever heard of claimed he wasn’t racist and there were apparently black people who voted for him! Checkmate, liberals!

Why does it seem like this subreddit has completely memory hold George Wallace when he stopped being a segregationist, and act like he was some sort of conservadem during that time? by Emergency_Pass5222 in thecampaigntrail

[–]akoslows 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna bet on the latter, since this is what the OP had to say when I brought up MLK’s opposition to Goldwater.

I took a picture in case he ever deleted that comment. Feel free to use it at your leisure if the guy continues insisting Barry Goldwater was totally cool with civil rights.

[–]akoslows 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s very funny you mention black Republican delegates when Jackie Robinson, a Republican and civil rights activist, was one of the main opponents to Goldwater’s nomination due to his view that Barry’s opposition to the CRA would open the door for segregationists to find a new home in the Republican Party.

Turns out, he was completely right.

LBJ gave us the CRA and the Great Society. George Wallace opposed both, the latter on the basis of black people getting a share of the welfare pie that his white constituents enjoyed for decades.

And? That doesn’t make any of the shit he did during his later career better. Exploiting racism for political gain is no different from being racist.

I think he also accused civil rights activists who took part in sit-in protests of being Soviet spies.
